Price Doesn't Double

Shirley Ang

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tareq Sirhan raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Robert Price in the cutoff three-bet to 54,000 to keep 3,000 behind. The action folded to Steven Abitbol, who made the call from the big blind. Sirhin potted to 219,000 for Price to make the call with his last chips. Abitbol needed some more time, he glanced at his cards a few times, counted out his stack, and then reluctantly folded.

Robert Price: A♥K♠J♠6♥ All in
Tareq Sirhan: J♥J♦10♥10♦

The board ran out 4♦10♠9♥8♣4♣ for Sirhan to improve to a full house to eliminate Price.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a three-way flop of J♥9♥2♣, all of the chips went into the middle between Thomas Gabriel, Jonathan Bowers, and Ardit Kurshumi, with Bowers covering.

Ardit Kurshumi: A♠Q♥10♠5♥ All in
Thomas Gabriel: K♥K♣10♥7♣ All in
Jonathan Bowers: A♣J♣10♦9♠

Bowers was in the lead with his top two pair, but the turn Q♣ was gin for Gabriel as he made the nut straight to go with his heart draw. He still needed to fade a club, jack, or king, but the river was the brick 6♠ and he scooped the pot for the triple, eliminating Kurshumi.

Tyler Foran

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

As retold by Kevin Kent:

Phil Ivey opened 15,000 in early position and called a pot-size raise of 51,000 from Kevin Kent in the small blind.

When the Q♠9♥3♥ flop hit the felt, Kent announced pot and Ivey called off his remaining stack of about 120,000.

Phil Ivey: 10♥9♣8♥6♣ All in
Kevin Kent: A♠A♣5♥4♠

Ivey was unable to improve as the board completed with the 2♦ turn and the 3♣ river, sending him to the payout desk.

Tyler Foran

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jared Bleznick under the gun and Abdul Almagableh in the small blind limped before John Bunch checked his option.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♥8♥3♣, and Almagableh checked to Bunch who fired 11,000. Bleznick quickly folded and Almagableh put in the maximum raise of 57,000. Bunch called.

When the 10♣ hit the turn, Almagableh continued for 75,000 and Bunch stuck around with a call.

The Q♣ completed the board on the river and Almagableh dropped a stack of reds across the line. Bunch called off his stack of about 20,000 to see the K♦K♥9♥6♠ of Almagableh. Bunch rolled his hand over but the dealer mucked them quickly as he waited for his payout tag.

Abdul Almagableh	751,000 214,000	214,000
Jared Bleznick	79,000 96,000	96,000

Kirk Brown

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chino Rheem opened to 14,000 and was called only by Brett Stern who defended from the big blind.

The flop came out 6♦J♦10♠ and Stern checked, Rheem bet 15,000, and Stern called. The turn came 6♥ and Stern checked once more, Rheem fired for 25,000 and this time Stern tossed in his cards. Rheem was then awarded the pot to increase his stack to 690,000.
