Israel Wins a Big Race

The action folded to David Zeitlin, who raised to 110,000 from the small blind. Roland Israel moved all in for 860,000 from the big blind, and Zeitlin quickly called.

Showdown

Zeitlin{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Israel{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

It was a race heading into the flop, but once the dealer fanned {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Zeitlin became a 55% favorite, according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator.

"Want to switch hands?" Israel asked jokingly.

Israel's request would've backfired however, because the turn and river came {4-Spades}, {5-Clubs} respectively, and the eights held. Israel doubled to over 1.7 million chips, while Zeitlin slipped below 730,000.

Ryan Eriquezzo

Garry Gates opened to 85,000 from under the gun, and received three callers, including Tony Erickson, Ryan Eriquezzo, and Eugene Fouksman. The dealer fanned {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and the action checked to Gates who continued for 200,000. Only Eriquezzo called.

The turn was the {k-Clubs}, and Gates slowed down, checking to Eriquezzo who bet 150,000 (a fifth of the pot). Gates tank-called.

The {9-Spades} completed the board, and Gates checked again. Eriquezzo moved all in, and Gates immediately folded.
