It was the biggest pot we've seen yet, and it began with Lee Goldman opening under the gun. We missed that amount, but we saw his next-door neighbor Faraz Jaka three-bet to 157,000, and Goldman raised it right back to 330,000 total. After a minute or so of consideration, Jaka announced his all in, and Goldman snap-called for his last 1.371 million.
Showdown
Goldman:
Jaka:
Jaka never found an out on the board, and Goldman has thusly put a big dent in his stack. After the dust settled, Goldman stacked up close to 2.8 million chips, while Jaka drops all the way down to about 2.3 million and back into the pack a bit.
Well, he got his money in good this time. Nikolaos Alafogiannis just four-bet the last 362,000 of his chips into the pot behind a button raise and a reraise from small blind Martin Jacobson. When Alafogiannis shoved from the big, Jacobson called him down with a chance at the knockout. This time, Alafogiannis was well ahead.
Showdown
Jacobson:
Alafogiannis:
The dealer rolled out a flop, and Alafogiannis informed his rail that there was a sweat. The turn was a good card to steal a few outs from Jacobson, and the river was a safe double-up card for Alafogiannis.
In early position, Kyle Julius opened to 60,000, and Alex Fitzgerald flatted next door to take a heads-up flop. It came out , and Julius continued out with another 67,000 chips. Fitzgerald raised to 155,000, Julius called, and the dropped on fourth street. Now it went check-check, but something was afoot as the competed the board. Julius took the lead again with a bet of 235,000, but Fitzgerald wanted to play for more. He cut out a big stack of green chips and made it 885,000 total, but Julius responded by moving all in for heaps.
Fitzgerald could not call, and he quickly uncapped his cards and slid them into the muck with a grumpy flick of the wrist. The big pot goes to Julius' corner, and he's suddenly found himself on top of the chip counts with just about 3.3 million.
After Sam Greenwood opened to 65,000 under the gun, David Granados reraised all in for 542,000. Greenwood made the call with the covering stack, and his was flipping for the knockout against Granados' .
But Granados was going nowhere. He flopped the lead on the , and the turn and river cemented his double. Mark him down for more than 1.1 million now.
Faraz Jaka opened the pot to 85,000, and David Granados defended his big blind to go heads up. The dealer gave them to work with on the flop, and Granados check-called another 80,000 from Jaka. They both checked through the turn, and the completed the board. Now Granados led out into the pot with 155,000, and that forced Jaka to take pause. He cut the call from his stack and shot a glance across the table. He made a couple quiet comments as he tried to get a read on Granados, but it looked like he was going to talk himself into a fold.
Jaka picked his hole cards up off the table and stared at them for a while, occasionally glancing up at the board and his opponent. He had his cards a few inches out in front of him in his left hand, but he suddenly grabbed the calling chips with his right and slung them across the line.
Granados showed for the airball, and Jaka's was the best hand and good enough to win the pot.
Faraz Jaka raised to 90,000 in early position, and Phil D'Auteuil three-bet to 215,000 one from the button. Jaka flatted, and off they went.
The flop came , and Jaka check-called another 175,000. The turn went check-check, and the completed the board. When Jaka checked again, D'Auteuil took his cue to make a healthy bet of 600,000, and Jaka paid it off.
D'Auteuil showed up , and the set of jacks hooked him a big pot. It's about a million-chip swing for both players, and that blow knocks Jaka back down around 1.5 million.
When the table folded around to the blinds, Ruben Visser shoved all in for 600,000 with Charles Furey behind him in the big blind. Furey looked down at and made the call with the covering stack, and Visser tabled his fairly inferior .
The flop gave both players a pair but kept Furey in the lead with his tens. The turn, however, brought the and another pair for Visser, and he was now the one well in front with one to come. Furey bricked on the river, and Visser is going to be sticking around. He's doubled to 1.235 million, and Furey is knocked all the way down under 400,000.
