Yifrach Gets Two Shoves Through

Adam Lamers

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

Gal Yifrach was under the gun as the short stack and raised to 850,000, leaving just 15,000 chips behind. The action folded to Jen Shahade in the big blind who eyed up his stack before letting her hand go.

The blinds passed through Yifrach and then he moved all in again on the button. The blinds both folded and Yifrach threw his 9♠4♠ face up into the middle of the table.

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

The action folded to Michael Berk on the button who made it 160,000 to go. Richard Green was one of the shorter stacks in the big blind and ripped all in for 1,390,000. Berk snap-called and the cards went on their backs.

Richard Green: 10♣10♦ All in
Michael Berk: A♥Q♥

It was a pure coin flip to decide things and the flop of K♠Q♣2♣ put Berk in the driver's seat with a pair of queens. Green was unable to catch up on the 4♦, J♦ runout and bowed out in eighth place.
