Kovac Spikes a Ten to Send out Nadal

Tyler Foran

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Martin Zamani opened 125,000 under the gun and Fikret Kovac three-bet 475,000 next to act before Jose Nadal jammed for about 600,000. Zamani got out of the way, and Kovac tossed in the extra chips to make the call.

Jose Nadal: A♠K♦ All in
Fikret Kovac: A♥10♣

Nadal was in great shape but the Q♦10♥3♠ paired Kovac, leaving him needing to improve to a straight or hit his king, however, the 2♠ turn and the 6♦ river were no help as he stood up from the table.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Vincent Thys opened to 125,000 from the cutoff before Martin Zamani clicked it to 210,000 on the button. The action folded back to Thys who put in the call.

On the 8♠8♥7♣ flop, Thys lead jammed for 570,000 and Zamani quickly called.

Vincent Thys: 5♠5♦ All in
Martin Zamani: K♥7♦

Zamani had flopped second pair against the underpair of Thys who jammed at the wrong time and was in bad shape. The J♦6♥ runout failed to help Thys as he hit the rail.
