Pärssinen Scoops Massive Double Up Against De Armas

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In four-way action to the K♦5♦3♠ flop, Conrad De Armas check-raised to 200,000 out of the big blind. It folded back to Eelis Pärssinen on the button and he reraised the pot to 655,000. Koray Turker in the small blind forfeited the 25,000 bet he had called and De Armas used three time bank extensions before moving all in. Pärssinen snap called to create a huge pot.

Eelis Pärssinen: K♠K♣10♦9♥ All in
Conrad De Armas: 6♦5♠3♥2♦

"Merry Christmas, Eelis. You always find someone to save you," Krasimir Yankov grinned prior to the showdown.

The 7♥ turn and A♣ river failed to improve De Armas' combo draw and he doubled for 741,000.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

David Williams raised from early position and was three-bet to 56,000 by Noah Schwartz from the small blind. Action folded back to Williams, who quickly called.

Schwartz bet pot on the 8♥2♥J♠ flop and Williams called off his remaining stack to put himself at risk.

David Williams: A♦K♠J♥6♦ All in
Noah Schwartz: A♥A♣Q♥9♠

The K♦10♠ runout left Schwartz best with Broadway and Williams made a hasty exit from the tournament area.
