Hirezi Wakes Up with Kings to Double

Brett Slezak

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player opened the hijack to 10,000 and Michael Vela called in the cutoff. On the button, Nabil Hirezi three-bet to 30,000 off a 44,000 stack. The hijack then jammed and Vela folded before Hirezi called off.

Nabil Hirezi: K♥K♣ All in
Hijack: A♠K♠

It was a cooler situation with Hirezi having the best of it. Nothing changed on the Q♦4♠4♣10♦7♦ as Hirezi got the sweat-free double as the dentist took another one under.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ewan Leatham opened to 7,000 from middle position before Danny Clarkson three-bet to 18,000 from the small blind, and Leatham called.

On the 5♦2♠2♥ flop, Clarkson continued for 12,000 and Leatham quickly called.

The turn was the 2♦, Clarkson bet 12,000 before Leatham raised and Clarkson called all-in for around 40,000.

Danny Clarkson: A♦K♦ All in
Ewan Leatham: 5♥5♣

Clarkson was drawing dead to an irrelevant river as Leatham brought the field down to its final 46.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michael Carter opened to 3,500 from middle position and Dallas Whitaker called in the hijack. On the button, Damian Brewster three-bet to 12,500. With the action back on Carter, he four-bet shoved for 45,500. Whitaker got out of the way before Brewster put in the call.

Michael Carter: A♣J♠ All in
Damian Brewster: Q♠Q♣

"I had to get it in at some point," explained Carter as he awaited his fate.

The J♣5♠2♣ flop gave Carter more outs but the 8♦ turn offered no help as he stood up from his chair and began to walk away. However, the voodoo tricks seemed to work wonders as the A♦ peeled off on the river as Carter secured the full double.
