Full House For Gorbachev

Kai Cocklin

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were already around 40,000 chips in the middle on a board of 3♥A♣3♦A♠7♣ when Giorgi Kakhaberidze had checked it over to Dmitry Gorbachev, who then fired a bet of 11,000. Kakhaberidze thought for a while but eventually made the call.

Gorbachev rolled over A♥9♥ for a full house, and Kakhaberidze could only muck his hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Back in May, Ali Ayub became the first-ever EAPT UK Main Event champion to bag a cool £67,400.

The local hero outlasted 858 players and, after agreeing to an ICM chip-chop, beat Ionut Dumitrana heads-up to take the crown.

The DTD regular and commentator was a popular victor, and the winning moment came when Ayub shoved with an open-ended straight draw and flush draw. Dumitrana made the call with a pair of threes.

Ayub had two over cards with the five-four of clubs and had 20 outs to take down the championship. He hit the eight of clubs for a flush to lift the light-up EAPT trophy.

There was a raise from early position then Vazha Kometiani three-bet from the cutoff to 5,700. Givi Jugeli cold-called out of the small blind, and early position folded.

The flop came down Q♦Q♥6♦ and Jugeli wasted no time in shoving for 11,500. Kometiani looked down at his cards once more before he tossed into the muck, and the pot was pushed in Jugeli's direction.
