Matatall Flashes the Key Card

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a board of 9♣8♥4♦8♠, Karia Yeung led out with a bet of 12,000 from the small blind. Grant Matatall just called from the hijack and the 8♦ landed on the river.

Yeung put together another bet of 16,000 and Matatall shoved all in as the bigger stack. Yeung went into the tank for a minute before folding her 9♦ face up. Matatall was awarded the pot and flashed the 8♣ for quads.

Andrew Vodinh
Andrew Vodinh

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading A♦K♦7♥J♣, Andrew Vodinh led out with a bet of 30,000 into a pot just larger than his bet. Colin Wienken gave it his full attention but opted to lay his hand down. David Soskin pushed all in as the big stack and Vodinh quickly called off his stack of 136,700.

Andrew Vodinh: A♥J♠All in
David Soskin: Q♦10♣

Soskin turned a straight at the same time Vodinh made two pair. However, the J♥ paired the board on the river to give Vodinh a full house and scoop a massive chip-leading pot.

Rodney Wallace: J♦5♦

Panjwani Can't Win a Flip

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was a raise to 2,000 in early position and Russell Koch just called on his left. Kassim Panjwani shipped all in for 21,900 on the button and the action folded back to Koch who confirmed the count before calling.

Kassim Panjwani: 9♠9♦All in
Russell Koch: A♣Q♦

The flop of K♥Q♠7♦ vaulted Koch into the lead with a pair of queens. The J♥ and 3♣ runout changed nothing and Panjwani headed for the exit.
