Foutty's Turned Quads Send Kim Out

Tyler Foran

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the Q♥9♥2♥ flop, Taehyung Kim checked to Steve Foutty who fired out a pot-sized bet of 130,000. Kim took a few moments before check-raising all in for just over 300,000. Foutty snap-called and both hands were turned on their backs.

Taehyung Kim: K♥J♣J♦3♥
Steve Foutty: K♣Q♠Q♦2♦

Kim was in the lead with a flopped flush but the Q♣ turn gave Foutty quad queens and Kim hit the rail as the 3♦ completed the board on the river.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Bullock raised to 45,000 under the gun before Dave Terry three-bet to 165,000 next to act. Daniel Grassi jammed for 245,000 and only Terry made the call.

"I got aces crackers," said Grassi before tabling his hand.

Daniel Grassi: K♦J♠10♦9♦
Dave Terry: A♦A♥7♦4♠

The flop of K♠J♦8♦ smashed Grassi as he flopped two pair, straight draw and flush draw. The 5♣ turn and J♥ river improved him to a full house as he raked in the pot.

Ferro Cracks Aces

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jose Ferro and Rob Wazwaz were all in preflop with the former covered.

Jose Ferro: K♥J♠10♠9♥
Rob Wazwaz: A♥A♠7♠4♠

The board ran K♠J♣4♣ and Ferro pulled ahead of Wazwaz with top two. The turn was the 5♦, improving neither player. Wazwaz needed to either catch an ace or pair one the low cards on the board. That wasn't the case when the 7♣ fell on the river.

Ferro had found a double just a couple orbits earlier, yelling "Vamos!" when he scooped the pot. This was the first time he has eclipsed a million chips in this event.

Ferro Gets There to Stay Alive

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After a preflop betting war, Jose Ferro moved all in and Rajaee Wazwaz made the call to put him at risk.

Jose Ferro: A♥Q♥10♣8♣
Rajaee Wazwaz: A♣K♣K♥5♥

Wazwaz was ahead going in with his pocket kings and better clubs, but Ferro still had a lot of live cards with his hearts and straight cards.

The flop of A♠K♠9♠ gave neither player a flush but it did give Wazwaz middle set of kings to further increase his lead. However, the runout of 3♠J♣ gave Ferro the gutshot straight on the river to win the pot for the double-up.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Josh Arieh raised to 35,000 and Todd Hatch called before Karim Lehoussine three-bet all in for 116,000. The action folded back to Arieh and he put in another raise to 212,000. Hatch called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 7♣4♠3♥ and Arieh bet the maximum. Hatch sighed as he said, "Why didn't I hit that flop?" and tossed his cards into the muck.

Karim Lehoussine: A♦9♥4♥4♦
Josh Arieh: Q♣Q♠7♠6♣

Lehoussine flopped a set of fours and the 3♠ turn and 10♠ river improved him to a full house to collect a triple up.

Arieh Has More Than Air, Barely

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Three ways to a flop of J♥4♠7♥, the big blind checked, Oleg Sobol bet 132,000, and Josh Arieh announced all in for just over 700,000. The big blind folded and Sobol made the call to which Arieh said, "I don't have much, just a draw."

Sobol responsed with, "Me neither, but I flopped something to draw to" and cards were on their backs.

Oleg Sobol: A♥K♠10♦8♥
Josh Arieh: 9♠6♦5♠4♦

Arieh had a wrap and no hearts, while Sobol had a gutter to the nut straight and the flush draw. When the Q♣ came on the turn Arieh said, "Shit...", as his opponent upgraded to the Broadway wrap.

When the board paired a J♠ on the river Arieh yelled, "Four!" and wiggled his 4♦ at the dealer. He'd dodged the world and his pair of fours was good for a 1,650,000 chip pot. He yelled over to Daniel Negreanu at a different table to let him know that someone had won the pot with just a pair of fours and Negreanu said, "Lemme guess, it was you who won the pot?"

Sobol was left with his head spinning and was led the the payouts.

Seth Frederici opened to 41,000 from under the gun and was called by William Rector in early position and Eric Fields in the small blind.

The flop came out 6♣7♠5♥ and Fields decided to lead out for a pot bet of 90,000 and both of his opponents promptly tossed their cards into the muck.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Santtu Leinonen raised to 40,000 in early position and Benjamin Voreland defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥K♣6♣ and Voreland check-called a bet of 50,000.

The 10♥ landed on the turn and once checked to, Leinonen continued with the pressure, double barreling for 150,000. Voreland only took a few seconds before surrendering the pot.
