Exposed Hand Ruling

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Valentino Konakchiev
Valentino Konakchiev

Gaik Karabakhtcian moved all-in for his last 34,000. Valentino Yasenov Konakchiev called and flipped over {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The only problem was that Igor Yaroshevskyy was still to act in the big blind. The floor was called and a ruling was made. Konakchiev’s hand would remain live throughout the rest of the hand, he could bet and raise, but after it was over he would have a one round penalty. It gave Yaroshevskyy an interesting dilemma and he thought for a while before making the call for 32,500. The dealer dealt a flop of {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Yaroshevskyy checked as did Konakchiev. The turn was {2-Diamonds}. Another check from Yaroshevskyy and now Konakchiev bet 20,000 which got the fold. The forgotten man in the hand who was all in could now flip over his {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and he needed to hit on the river. It was {7-Clubs}. The pot went to a chastened Konakchiev who left the table for his one round penalty and Karabakhtcian exited the tournament.

Lehavot & Chidwick Clash in Huge Feature Table Hand

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Amir Lehavot
Amir Lehavot

After being moved to the feature table on the break, 2013 World Series of Poker third-place finisher Amir Lehavot and UK pro Stephen Chidwick clashed in a huge pot.

We picked up the action after Chidwick had four-bet to 65,000 from the small blind and Lehavot five-bet to 120,000 from the button. Chidwick responded with a six-bet shove and Lehavot called off for 348,000. Chidwick barely had him covered, but he was the favorite.

Chidwick: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Lehavot: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

It was a big flip for the chip lead, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Chidwick was a 56.55% favorite while Lehavot would survive 43.03% of the time. The {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop was no help to Lehavot, and he fell to a 3-1 dog. The {9-Clubs} turn knocked him down even further to 13.64%, meaning he needed either an ace or king on the river to stay alive. On the other hand, Chidwick would win 86.36% of the time, and as fate would have it this was one of those times as the {Q-Hearts} river improved him to a full house.

With that, Lehavot was eliminated in 106th place while Chidwick took over the chip lead.

Lucky Double (Times 2) for Hoedemaker

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Dutchman Micha Hoedemaker has had a good last couple of hands. First he shoved his 38,000 stack in from the hijack after an under the gun raise. Russian Mikhail Marchenko shoved all in over the top from the button and the initial raiser went out of the way. "This is not good" Micha said after Marchenko had shoved. He was right in that assesment as his {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} was up against Marchenko's {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

"Give me the ace of clubs on the turn" Micha asked the dealer politely. The dealer didn't bring the {A-Clubs} to the table but did give Hoedemaker the winning hand on the turn: {10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The {4-Diamonds} on the river made Hoedemaker's straight into a flush and he doubled to about 85,000.

Not much later he again was lucky. He got it in with pocket tens against pocket jacks but spiked a ten on the turn.

Hoedemaker, who started the day extremely short, finally has a stack to do some damage with. Now it's up to him to prove he can handle a somewhat bigger stack as effective as he knew the short stack.
