Cowboys Can't Hold

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The player in middle position raised to 1,800, Michael Novins three-bet jammed in the hijack for 14,400, and Suresh Suryawanshi reshoved on the button for about 100,000. The player in the big blind called for 29,400 and middle position got out of the way.

Michael Novins: AQ All in
Big blind: KK All in
Suresh Suryawanshi: AQ

The big blind was in prime position to scoop a big pot until the dealer put out the A37 flop. The 7 turn and 3 river offered no help to the button and he was sent to the rail in brutal fashion.

Sobol Hits the Rail

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Konstantin Sobol
Konstantin Sobol

Richard Newman raised to 1,600 in middle position and Konstantin Sobol three-bet to 4,400 in the hijack. Action folded back around to Newman who moved all in to put Sobol at risk who had about 35,500 behind. Sobol thought for a brief moment before making the call.

Konstantin Sobol: 1010 All in
Richard Newman: AK

It was a fair fight, but Newman pulled ahead on the KQ3 flop, pairing his king. The 6 turn and 6 river offered no help to Sobol and his tournament came to an end.

Lynell Laws
Lynell Laws

Frankie Zeta raised to 1,200 under the gun and was called by Lynell Laws in middle position, Connor Perrigan on the button, and the player in the big blind.

The flop came 109K and it checked to Laws who bet 4,500. Perrigan called, the big blind folded, and Zeta moved all in for 10,400 to put himself at risk. Laws called as did Perrigan.

The 6 turn went check-check for the side pot, bringing the 5 river. Laws bet 7,000 and Perrigan thought for a moment before making the call.

Zeta showed A3 for the busted nut flush draw, while Laws tabled 96 for two pair, nines and sixes. Perrigan mucked.
