Picone Chips Up; Salas Scores a Knockout
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Vitor Dzivielevski raised to 16,000 and earned calls from Karen Nazarian as well as Igor Picone out of the blinds. They checked the J♠8♦5♦ flop and Nazarian bet the 4♥ turn for 20,000. Picone raised to 60,000 for Dzivielevski to fold and Nazarian reluctantly folded, too, with around 130,000 behind.
One hand later, Dzivielevski opened to 16,000 and Ori Eshel moved all-in for 122,000 in the very next seat. Damian Salas asked for a count and called, everyone else folded including Dzivielevski who exposed the A♥J♥.
Ori Eshel: J♣J♠
Damian Salas: A♣K♥
The K♦5♥2♠ flop left Eshel on thin ice. He found no escape on the 2♦ turn and 10♠ river to depart.
Nazarian was then eliminated by Jinhoon Lee and Aram Zobian vanished one table over.
