Max Deveson
Max Deveson

Max Deveson raised to 7,000 from early position and Chukri Sakkal shoved for his remaining 20,000 from the next seat. When it folded back to Deveson he put in the call to try and bust Sakkal.

Chukri Sakkal: A8 All in
Max Deveson: K10

Sakkal was a slight favorite with ace-high until the dealer fanned the K94 flop to put Deveson in the lead with a pair of kings. The rest of the board ran out 74 and Sakkal was headed to the exit.

Kashani Forces a Fold From Zavoloka

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Mikhail Zavoloka opened from under the gun and Arian Kashani three-bet from the button. Zavoloka called.

They both went to a flop of QAA where Zavoloka check-called a bet of 6,500 from Kashani to the A turn, which went check-check.

A 10 dropped on the river and Zavoloka led out for 12,000, then Kashani made it 77,000. After a short time thinking, Zavoloka decided to fold.

It felt like a setup for quads versus a royal flush, but this time it wasn’t.
