Yaghmaie Flops Trips to Double

Kai Cocklin

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The action folded around to Leonard Maue in the small blind, who dropped a load of chips into the pot. Naryman Yaghmaie was in the big blind and put in his stack of 705,000.

Naryman Yaghmaie: A♣5♥ All in
Leonard Maue: 8♣7♣

Maue had a suited connector, but the 5♠K♠5♣ flop all but sealed the deal for Yaghmaie as he flopped trips. Those trips turned into a full house on the K♣ turn, which left Maue calling for a king to chop.

Instead, the 9♠ rolled off, and Yaghmaie doubled up.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

"Kenar" opened from the cutoff to 160,000 and Jovan Kenjic shoved the button for 810,000. When it got back to "Kenar", he called.

Jovan Kenjic: K♠Q♠ All in
"Kenar": A♥2♥

Kenjic caught a pair on the 7♣Q♣8♥ flop to take the lead, and just needed to fade an ace to double up. The 3♦ turn put him half way there, but the A♠ fell on the river, which meant he was out in 18th.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Adrian Strobel raised the hijack and then called the shove of Gregoire Auzoux, who moved all in from the button for around 300,000.

Gregoire Auzoux: J♣10♣ All in
Adrian Strobel: A♣J♠

Auzoux was dominated, though he did have some more outs after the 7♦2♣K♣ flop gave him a flush draw. An 8♦ on the turn added a gutshot, but the 6♥ river bricked off, ending Auzoux's run in 19th.

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

"Kenar" opened the cutoff to 175,000 and Leonard Maue three-bet to 640,000 out of the small blind. Kayhan Mokri was in the big blind and shoved for 1,600,000. which got "Kenar" to quickly fold. Mokri seemed pleased that Maue didn't snap call and celebrated a little, then Maue called.

Kayhan Mokri: A♠K♠ All in
Leonard Maue: K♦Q♥

Mokri was mad at himself for celebrating too early, but he didn't have much to worry about on the 3♣8♦9♦ flop. A 9♠ on the turn left him one step closer to a double-up, but the Q♦ river ended his tournament in 20th.

"Yup," said Mokri. "I shouldn't have celebrated."

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Adrian Strobel raised the button and ended up getting his stack of 1,690,000 in against Gregoire Auzoux, who was in the big blind.

Adrian Strobel: K♠K♣ All in
Gregoire Auzoux: A♥9♣

Strobel had the goods, but did need to dodge the aces of his opponent. The flop of 3♥7♥10♦ kept the cowboys in the lead, but Auzoux found a lot more outs on the 8♥ turn with an open-ended straight draw. The 4♣ river bricked off, though, and Strobel raked in the pot.

Level 18 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pieter Aerts was just eliminated and the table recalled what happened.

Aerts had caught "Kenar" bluffing with 3x2x after he flopped a pair of deuces, but "Kenar" rivered a pair of eights on the 2♠Q♥4♣A♦8♥ runout with 8♦7♣ to snatch the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Starting with a stack of around 1,000,000, Salah Assi raised to 125,000 under the gun. The table folded all around to Aren Bezhanyan in the big blind, who jammed to put Assi all in. Assi called, and the cards were tabled.

Salah Assi: 9♥9♦ All in
Aren Bezhanyan: K♥J♣

Assi's pocket nines stayed ahead of Bezhanyan's king-jack on the 10♠10♦6♠ flop and 5♦ turn. However, the K♠ peeled off on the river to give Bezhanyan the winning hand with top pair.

The pot was sent to Bezhanyan, while Assi bashed the table in frustration at being eliminated.
