Khatib Rivers the Nuts, Schlott Takes Two Hits
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Felix Schlott bet 20,000 from under the gun on a board of 6♥Q♣10♥4♠ and received three calls, including from Mahmoud Khatib in the hijack and small blind Anton Johansson.
The river came the K♦ and action checked to Khatib who bet 55,000. Only Johansson called as Schlott gave up his hand. Khatib then turned over A♣J♦9♦7♣ for the rivered straight and Johansson mucked.
The next hand, Schlott bet enough on the A♣7♥5♦ flop to put Michail Karapanos all in, and Karapanos called for his last 30,000.
Michail Karapanos: A♥A♠J♥8♣
Felix Schlott: 8♠8♥7♣6♥.
Schlott was trailing the aces of Karapanos and improved no further on the Q♣ turn or 5♣ river as Karapanos doubled up.
