Rizvi Busts Knight in Five-Bet Pot

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Alexander Rizvi
Alexander Rizvi

Keilan Knight opened to 600 from middle position, before being faced with a three-bet to 1,600 from Jonathan Alley in the next seat. Action folded to Alexander Rizvi in the big blind, who produced a cold four-bet to 4,000.

Back to Knight, who quickly reached for chips and pumped it up to 11,600. Alley quipped "Deja vu" before folding, but Rizvi made the call.

On the KJ8 flop, Rizvi check-called a bet of 14,500 from Knight.

The 10 hit on the turn, bringing a double flush draw along with straight possibilities, and Knight quickly jammed for around 23,000 when Rizvi checked.

Rizvi went into the tank, but made the call after around 90 seconds.

Keilan Knight: QQ All in
Alexander Rizvi: AK

Knight had turned second pair queens with the up and down draw into a semi-bluff, and needed help on the river. The 7 was a brick and Rizvi scooped a monster pot.

Kerryjane Craigie
Kerryjane Craigie

A pot of 4,000 had developed by the turn on A32A, in a hand between Kerryjane Craigie and Chrisy Taylor, with Craigie check-calling a bet of 1,500 from Taylor.

The 6 river completed the board, and Craigie checked once more. Taylor fired out a bet of 3,200, and after a period of deliberation, Craigie flicked in a calling chip.

Taylor tabled AJ for trip aces, and Craigie flashed the A as she mucked. Taylor gave a mini fist pump in celebration as he raked in a chunky early pot.
