Kokhestani Shoves in Four-Bet Pot; Mariani Takes Out Plaza
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mengshi Tian raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and Khossein Kokhestani three-bet to 37,000 on the button. Romain Locquet then four-bet to 102,000 and only Kokhestani called.
Locquet checked the A♣10♣8♣ flop and Kokhestani moved all in for 117,000. Locquet put all of his time bank cards in the middle and burned through three of them before announcing a fold.
At the same time at another table, Jose Plaza had shoved for 60,000 from the small blind and Julien Mariani put him at risk in the big blind.
Jose Plaza: A♥9♦ 
Julien Mariani: A♦J♣
Mariani hit top pair on the J♠3♣6♦ flop, and the 9♠ turn arrived too late to save Plaza as he missed the K♣ river and was sent to the rail.
