Emig Breaks Even on Interesting Table
Aliaksandr Yarosh raised to 5,500 from under the gun on a table with, among others, Bryn Kenney and several of the larger stacks in the Main Event. Arthur Emig made it 16,000 to go from the next seat over and Yarosh obliged with a call.
Yarosh check-called a 12,500 continuation-bet on the J♣10♥6♣ flop before the 9♦ turn and 7♥ river were checked through.
Yarosh showed A♣K♠ for the winning hand as Emig tabled A♠Q♦ for a lesser ace-high.
One hand later, Emig opened to 5,000 from under the gun and got Bryn Kenney and Ihar Soika to come along with him. The trio went on to check the flop of 7♣K♠10♣ before Emig fired 15,000 on the 9♥ turn.
Kenney made the call while Soika got out of the way. The 9♣ river was then checked again and Emig tabled K♥10♥ for two pair. Kenney's cards hit the muck as he fell to a stack of 30 big blinds.
