Korkmaz Catches Arieh Making a Big Move

David Salituro

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 90,000 in the pot on a flop of 10♥6♠5♥, Josh Arieh bet 25,000 from middle position and Koray Korkmaz called under the gun.

The turn was the J♦ and Arieh bet another 100,000. Korkmaz again called and the Q♦ fell on the river. Arieh then moved all in for 200,000 and Korkmaz practically beat him into the pot.

Arieh turned over A♣2♣ for a bluff and was already walking away from the table as Korkmaz showed A♦K♣ for the rivered straight to win the pot and send Arieh to the rail.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mikhail Iakovlev opened to 12,000 in middle position, Lucas Greenwood called in the hijack, and Gabriel Shohet called in the cutoff. On the button, Andre Mayer three-bet to 58,000. Mikhail Iakovlev then moved all in for 396,000. Greenwood weighed his options before he elected to rejam as the covering stack. Shohet folded before Mayer put his face down on the table as he contemplated a seemingly brutal decision. Eventually, he folded what he said was Q♠Q♥.

Mikhail Iakovlev: A♥K♠ All in
Lucas Greenwood: Q♦Q♣

It was the most classic of races until the K♦5♥3♠ flop vaulted Iakovlev into the lead and it stayed that way on the 3♦6♥ runout as he got a full double plus extra.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was already around 270,000 in the middle as Jeff Berwick and Christian Dressler saw a flop of 4♥3♠10♥. Dressler then bet 55,000 from the big blind and Berwick took a few minutes before calling in the small blind.

The turn was the 9♠ and Dressler moved all in for 160,000. Berwick snap-called and turned over 9♣9♥ for a set.

"Wow," Dressler said, showing Q♥Q♠ as the 6♥ fell on the river to seal his elimination.

"You bet so small. If you bet a little larger, I fold," Berwick told him as Dressler wished his tablemates luck before heading for the exit.

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jon Pardy and John Pannucci were in the blinds and created a pot of about 35,000 on the 9♠7♣4♦K♥ turn, where Pardy check-called a bet of 28,000 from Pannucci.

The 6♣ completed the board on the river and Pardy checked it over once more. Pannucci sized up to 135,000 and Pardy made the call to see the rivered straight as Pannucci tabled 8♦5♥.

Pardy flashed the 9♥3♥ for a pair of nines as Pannucci said, "Well, you were right."

"I was right until I wasn't," Pardy replied with a laugh.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After a series of raises before the flop Brandon Adams was at risk on the button for 291,000 against Frederic Delval in the big blind and both hands were on their backs.

Brandon Adams: A♦Q♥ All in
Frederic Delval: A♥K♠

Delval had Adams dominated but the Q♠7♠6♠ flop gave Adams a pair of queens to take the lead. Delval flopped a flush draw but couldn't connect on the 8♥ turn and 9♥ river.
