Azulay Misreads Deck, Casino Doubles Up

Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Preflop, Harel Azulay and Daniele Casino had battled blind-on-blind when Casino's stack of 1,090,000 ended up in the middle.

Daniele Casino: Q♠Q♥ All in
Harel Azulay: J♠J♣

"I know a jack is coming, the jack of hearts," Azulay claimed.

However, the jack of hearts nor the jack of diamonds showed itself on the 2♦A♠5♠5♣2♣ board. Casino doubled up to an above-average stack while Azulay was left with merely 11 big blinds.

Level 27 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a pot worth 280,000, Jingchun Yu check-called a bet from Victor Pobirci on the 8♠K♣10♠ flop. The turn then fell the 2♦, seeing Yu lead out for 135,000.

Pobirci tossed in a call to the 5♠ river, where he was checked to again. Pobirci fired an all-in bet, putting Yu at risk for 750,000. Yu took a few seconds and then slammed in a call for his tournament life.

Pobirci could only show ace-high with A♠Q♥, while Yu had called with K♠J♣ for top pair and won the pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kajetan Masiewicz got his stack of 645,000 in from the small blind and was at risk against Karim Radani in the hijack.

Kajetan Masiewicz: A♠J♥ All in
Karim Radani: 10♠10♣

It looked like game over for Masiewicz as Redani flopped a set on 10♥J♦9♣. The Q♦ turn gave Masiewicz some hope, however, and the K♥ river completed his Broadway draw to take in the double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kajetan Masiewicz	1,350,000 485,000	485,000
Karim Radani	375,000 1,070,000	1,070,000

Level 27 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Presiyan Tsvetanov had opened under the gun when the action folded to Friedrich Raez in the small blind. Not having seen Tsvetanov's raise, he announced an all-in bet, covering the 950,000 chips of Tsvetanov.

Tsvetanov instantly called, and, after some initial confusion, both players showed down.

Presiyan Tsvetanov: A♣K♥ All in
Friedrich Raez: Q♦J♣

Raez paired up on the 9♥J♦4♦ flop and was upgraded to a flush on the 10♦7♦ runout. Tsvetanov amicably said his goodbyes as a visibly relieved Raez was awarded the big pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.

In the 25th episode, Connor speaks with embattled poker pro Brad Booth about learning poker from his grandfather, climbing up stakes in Canada, living at the Bellagio and playing in Bobby's Room, bluffing Phil Ivey and getting cheated on Ultimate Bet.

Booth, who the poker community hasn't heard from for several years, opened up about his absence and going missing in 2020, as well as his gambling addiction and various poker debts to players like Doug Polk that he says he plans to make right.

"I got caught up in all of it and all I can try and do is make right now," he told PokerNews of his poker debts.

The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Brad Booth by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
