Gawel Forces a Fold From Yokosawa

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Masato Yokosawa raised from under-the-gun and was three-bet to 13,500 by Matthew Gawel from the small blind. Yokosawa called.

The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Gawel continued for 8,000. Yokosawa raised to 20,000 and, undeterred, Gawel made it 50,000 to go.

Yokosawa quickly folded and Gawel dragged the pot.

Konnikova Gets One-Outed to Prevent Quadruple-Up

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Maria Konnikova
Maria Konnikova

Maria Konnikova open-shoved a stack of 21,000 and three players called, including Pete Skyllas.

After a flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades} with approximately 84,000 already in the middle, Skyllas moved all-in for 150,000. One opponent called and the other folded.

Maria Konnikova: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Pete Skyllas: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

It looked like Konnikova would be quadrupling up as she had a set of jacks against a set of tens and a pair of jacks. However, the turn brought the {10-Spades} to improve Skyllas to quads and Konnikova was drawing dead heading to the river, as the other opponent had the case jack in his hand.

The river brought the inconsequential {9-Spades} and the popular poker author hit the rail in a brutal manner, while Skyllas raked in a massive pot.
