Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Armand Matti : AA All in
Scott Findlay: AJ

Shulman Defends Big Blind

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Barry Shulman
Barry Shulman

Mario Colavita raised from the button to 50,000 and this cascaded into a major action pot where Jason Mitchell three-bet all in for 260,000 and two-time bracelet winner Barry Shulman four-bet all in for 390,000.

Colavita was put to a decision and he struggled with it, but made the fold and stated that he had ace-ten, which was the same hand as Mitchell.

Jason Mitchell: A10 All in
Barry Shulman: AQ

The board ran out with 752A6 and Shulman's kicker played for the win with the pair of aces.

Colavita was relieved he folded.

Couden Gets Paid by Matusow

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was caught on the river with the board showing 10AJ106. There were over 300,000 chips in the pot and Joseph Couden bet 160,000 from the big blind. Mike Matusow took quite a while to think in the cutoff, before deciding to call.

Couden turned over Kx10x for trips and Matusow mucked.

Pocket Eights Beat Pocket Aces

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Oshri Azran was on a short stack and open-shoved from the cutoff. David Docherty in the big blind called.

Oshri Azran: 88All in
David Docherty: AA

The flop was JQ2.

When the dealer dealt out the 8 on the turn, Azran let out an excited: “Yea!”

The river was the 3 and Doherty’s aces were officially cracked.

The two players discussed the hand and while Docherty commented that Azran got it in with the worst hand, Azran responded Docherty had "no business having aces in the big blind."

“Yes, that was very rude of me,” agreed Docherty, and they moved on to the next hand, both with stacks that still have some work to do.
