Karavas and Covington Score a Knockout

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Karavas raised and Colby Covington three-bet to 8,000 on the button. Peter Sanneblad got his last 12,400 in the middle from the big blind. Karavas squeezed to 30,000 only for Covington to push all-in for 141,800.

That instantly sent Karavas into a frenzy and he spun out of his chair.

"Do you have aces again, buddy?" he asked but eventually called with the covering stack.

Peter Sanneblad: J♥9♥ All in
Colby Covington: K♥K♠ All in
John Karavas: K♦K♣

The suited one gapper found no help on the A♦Q♣10♥6♣9♠ board and the short stack of Sanneblad was chopped up.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a three-bet pot worth 20,000 chips, the player in early position checked to Jeff Sluzinski on the button. Sluzinski then bet 5,500 chips on the 4♦4♠3♥ flop and his opponent called.

The same happened for Sluzinski's 18,000 bet on the J♦ turn before the 10♥ river was checked by both.

The player in early position tabled A♦K♦ for ace-high, but Sluzinski raked in the pot with A♣10♣ for a rivered pair of tens.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Heads-up on a board of 7♠4♥Q♣6♥, an under-the-gun player bet 5,000 before Daniel Lakerveld raised to 10,000 on the button.

His opponent called and the 6♣ fell on the river. Lakerveld then moved all in and his opponent called for around 25,000.

Lakerveld showed 6♦4♦ for a full house and his opponent mucked. The dealer eventually retrieved J♦J♠ as Lakerveld took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
