Engel In and With Two Stacks; "IReadYrSoul" With Four
In Level 7 with blinds of 600/1,200 and an ante of 150, there was a heads-up pot between Ari Engel, who was under the gun and "KingsWin," who was on Engel's direct left.
Action was on the turn with 23,850 in the middle and a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
and Engel had checked over to "KingsWin," who shoved for 38,500. Engel mulled over his decision and decided to click the call button.
"KingsWin": ![]()
![]()
Ari Engel: ![]()
![]()
Engel found his call to be the correct one and he needed only to fade the remaining aces and jacks in the deck for what would be a knockout and almost a full double. The river
was safe and his two pair, queens and eights wound up best to secure the pot and the knockout.
"KingsWin" re-entered moments later and received their second stack of 50,000 for the tournament. Meanwhile, "IReadYrSoul" has chipped up to over 200,000 and has nearly double the stack of the next-closest player.
