Hand #143: Bitker Doubles Again

Adam Bitker doubles again
Adam Bitker doubles again

Andrew Sherman-Ash raised to 165,000 out of the small blind, Adam Bitker three-bet jammed for 2.01 million, and Sherman-Ash tank-called.

Bitker: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Sherman-Ash: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

There was over four million in the middle as the flop fell {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, giving Bitker a flush draw and Sherman-Ash a straight draw. The crowd chanted for various cards, some for diamonds, others for kings or queens, and the turn produced the {7-Diamonds}.

Bitker made his flush, but a higher diamond would chop the pot. The river wasn't red however, as the {10-Clubs} completed the board.

Bitker doubled again, and suddenly has the chip lead.

Artyem Perlov hits a gutterball
Artyem Perlov hits a gutterball

Adam Bitker raised to 180,000 out of the small blind, and Artyem Perlov three-bet to 335,000 from the big blind. Bitker tanked for the better part of a minute, then four-bet to 575,000.

Perlov shot back in his chair, and reached for pink T25,000 chips. He counted how many chips were in his stack, stop riffling what was in his hand, then committed enough chips to make the call.

The flop fell {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Spades}, and Bitker led for 385,000. Perlov tanked for 90 seconds or so, then called.

The {10-Hearts} turned, Bitker moved all in for effectively 960,000, and Perlov snapped it off.

Bitker: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Perlov: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The river was the {a-Spades}, and Perlov's king-high straight improved to Broadway. He doubled to 3.87 million chips, while Bitker slipped to 1.275 million.
