The Blind Versus Blind Situation For Eluz

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Everybody folded to Yossi Eluz in the small blind, who limped. In the big blind, Alper Kerim raised all in for 730,000 chips, and Eluz called.

Alper Kerim: KJ
Yossi Eluz: KK

Unfortunately for Kerim, his move wasn't successful because on 64108Q, Eluz's kings held.

After Kerim's elimination, the table broke, and Eluz moved to the feature table.

Samavati Takes From Bolor-Erdene

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

From early position, Navid Samavati opened. Chinguun Bolor-Erdene defended his big blind and saw a flop of 210A that he checked.

Samavati made a continuation bet of 125,000, and was called. The J appeared on the turn, but no further action followed, so Samavati and Bolor-Erdene moved on to the river 2, where Samavati bet 275,000.

It didn't take long before Bolor-Erdene check-folded 109 for a pair. The stream also revealed that Samavati had AQ for a better pair.
