Saadeghvaziri Hits 200k

Level 11 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mohammed Saadeghvaziri
Mohammed Saadeghvaziri

Details leading up to the river are unknown, but Mohammed Saadeghvaziri just found himself on the winning end of a 200k-plus pot, possibly the biggest pot of Day 1b so far.

With {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} on the board, Saadeghvaziri went all in from the big blind for 50,800, sending his hijack opponent deep into the tank.

After a couple of minutes, the hijack made the call, but saw the bad news when Saadeghvaziri tabled {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for trip threes.

Saadeghvaziri looks to be in good shape for a possibly advance to Day 2 after the win.

Anna Antimony
Anna Antimony

With {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts} on the board, the big blind checked to Anna Antimony in middle position. Antimony bet 8,000, and the big blind called.

The river came {10-Hearts}, the big bind checked again, and Antimony bet 35,000, more than enough to put the big blind all in with a call. The big blind tanked for a couple of minutes, then folded, preserving his remaining 24,500 stack.

Antimony is over 100k as the latter levels of Day 1b play out.
