Mintzy Back Over a Million

Tyler Boyer
Tyler Boyer
Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to the button who called, and after it folded to Benjamin Mintz in the big blind, he checked his option.

The flop came Q♦7♠6♣ and Mintz checked to the button who bet out 100,000. Mintz made the call to see a turn.

The turn was the 2♠ and Mintz check-called the 100,000 bet once more.

After the K♠ river, both players checked, and the button showed Qx10x but Mintz had him out kicked with QxJx to take the pot.

Action folded to a player in early position who raised to 200,000. When it folded to Ari Engel in the cutoff, he three-bet to 575,000. After it folded back to the player in early position, he four-bet all in, and Engel quickly made the call.

Early Position: A♦K♠ All in
Ari Engel: Q♠Q♣

It was a classic race between queens and ace-king, and when the board ran out 5♠5♣9♠6♦10♥ Engel's pocket queens were still best, to give him the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A player in middle position opened to 80,000 and Eli Cohen three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. The middle position player called.

On the A♥10♠3♥ flop, Cohen continued for 120,000, and the middle position player called.

Both checked the 2♣ turn to see the 9♣ fall on the river. Cohen eyed up his opponent's stack and upon seeing it was around 500,000 chips, he fired a bet of 420,000. It took just a few seconds for the middle position to fold.

On the same table, Greg Raymer has around 1,400,000 chips and mentioned he wished PokerNews covered Day 1 of the Colossus as he claimed to have made the best fold of his long poker career.

Betito Fades a Ton of Outs

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The button raised off a short stack and Liran Betito called out of the small blind.

On the J♣9♦J♦ flop, Betito check-called the shove of the button who had 180,000 chips remaining.

Button: Q♦10♦ All in
Liran Betito: 7♥7♣

Betito had the best hand but had to fade a lot of outs as his opponent had both straight and flush draws, plus overcard outs. The 4♣ turn was a brick, as was the J♠ turn which meant the button was eliminated and Betito boosted his stack to well over two million chips.
