Kashani Crumbles in Brutal Cooler as Sets Collide

Kai Cocklin

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Kitete-Kikumba Johnson opened from under the gun to 1,200 and Arian Kashani called from middle position before Maciej Kwiatkowski three-bet the small blind to 3,000. Johnson folded, and Kashani called.

On the A♣7♥8♣ flop, Kwiatkowski checked it over to Kashani, who fired 5,000. Kwiatkowski then raised to 17,000, and Kashani shipped his stack of 45,000 into the middle. Kwiatkowski snap-called.

Arian Kashani: 7♣7♦ All in
Maciej Kwiatkowski: A♠A♥

A brutal cooler for Kashani, whose bottom set was nowhere near good enough against the top set of Kwiatkowski. Only the last seven in the deck could save Kashani, but the 9♠8♦ runout wasn't what he was looking for, and he was eliminated.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

On a flop of 5♦8♦5♣, there were around 3,000 chips in the middle when Jack Solomon checked it over to Kai Chan, who fired 2,600. Solomon called.

Both then checked the K♦ turn to see a 3♠ drop on the river, where Solomon fired 3,500. Chan called.

Solomon showed 10♥8♥ for a pair of eights, but Chan had a pair of kings with K♣J♣ to scoop the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With around 3,500 chips already in the middle on a flop of 6♥J♠6♠, Paul Trotter checked from the big blind and Jack Allen fired 800 from the cutoff. Kelvin Cheng called on the button, and Trotter folded.

Both checked the Q♠ turn to see the 9♥ drop on the river, where Allen fired out 4,000. Cheng needed just a split second to call.

Allen showed K♣6♣ for trip sixes, and Cheng mucked his cards.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Gerard Dooley and Mazalahedwa Bako got their chips into the middle and witnessed a rollercoaster runout.

Mazalahedwa Bako: K♣J♠ All in
Gerard Dooley: A♦K♦

Bako flopped a straight on the 10♣Q♣9♠ board and was a big favorite to double up. However, the K♠J♣ runout improved Dooley to Broadway on the river, which sent Bako to the rail as Level 4 comes to an end.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 12,000 chips in the middle on a board of 9♥4♠6♠3♣, Brandon Harris checked it over to Ryan Mandara, who bet 7,000. Harris called.

They went to a J♦ river where Harris checked again, and Mandara collected the majority of his stack and dumped 19,100 into the pot.

"You know it's a big hand when everybody goes quiet," said Harris. "I won't be long," he added.

Eventually, Harris elected to fold, and Mandara was kind enough to show he flopped a set with 4♦4♣.

"A set of sailboats," added James Hartigan.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Franco Menchella opened from early position and Paul Allen three-bet to 2,500 from the hijack. When it got back to Menchella, he called.

They went to a flop of J♣K♣8♦ where Menchella check-called a bet of 1,000 from Allen to see the 7♣ turn, which went check-check.

An A♠ filled out the board and after Menchella checked, Allen fired 3,300. Menchella quickly folded.
