Iarilov Stacks Amiri

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Viktor Iarilov
Viktor Iarilov

Ehsan Amiri opened to 1,200 from early position and Samer Kreidieh called from the small blind before Viktor Iarilov three-bet to 5,000 from the big blind. Amiri and Kreidieh both called.

On the KJ10 flop, Kreidieh checked and Iarilov bet 7,000. Amiri then raised to 25,500, which got Kreidieh to fold, but Iarilov shoved. Amiri quickly called off his remaining stack of around 90,000.

Ehsan Amiri: QJ All in
Viktor Iarilov: AK

Amiri had flopped a pair with an open-ended straight draw, and needed to get there against the top pair of Iarilov's top pair. A 7 on the turn gave Iarilov a flush draw, which reduced the number of outs Amiri could hit, and the 8 river was a brick.
