Saroyan Scoops a Monster

Myles Phago

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded around to Kyle Hoffner in the small blind, who raised to 1,200 only for Manvel Saroyan in the big blind to three-bet all-in for 46,500.

"Go on then" said Hoffner as he pushed his chips out to make the call, and it was him at risk.

Kyle Hoffner: 7♥7♣ All in
Manvel Saroyan: A♣Q♦

Not the flop Hoffner wanted to see when it came K♥J♥10♥ to make Saroyan Broadway and send him soaring into the lead. Hoffner was given chop outs to go along with his flush outs when the Q♠ came on the turn, but even when he hit his set on the 7♠ river, it didn't help, and he was sent to the rail whilst Saroyan raked in the huge pot.

Both players hit a pair on the flop, but in the full runout K♥6♥J♠3♥6♠, Smith's pair of kings topped Kimma's pair of jacks.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Andrew Adams raised to 1,200 from under the gun, and was called by Kevin Theodore in middle position and Amir Mirrasouli on the button. Alon Shahar then three-bet to 5,300 from the small blind, and only Mirrasouli made the call.

The players saw a J♣4♥5♦ flop, Shahar bet 15,000, and Mirrasouli quickly folded his hand.

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Short-stacked Wendy Palencia went all in with 4,900 on the button. Even shorter-stacked Leandro Bustillo put in his final 2,300 chips.

Eduards Rakuss made the call, putting them both at risk.

Leandro Bustillo: A♦3♦ All in
Wendy Palencia: 8♦8♣ All in
Eduards Rakuss: J♣4♣

The runout of 8♥4♠6♣2♠5♣ allowed Bustillo to triple up, hitting a gutshot straight on the river to take the main pot. Palencia gat a handful of chips from the side pot, thanks to her set of eights.

Myles Phago

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The board read 7♠K♥8♣3♣, and the pot was at over 5,000. Rob Wazwaz led out for 4,100 from middle position and was called by Ali Shahni in the cutoff.

The river brought the K♣, and Wazwaz tossed in his last 10,100, and was snap-called by Shahni. Wazwaz tabled K♦8♦ for the nuts and was pushed the healthy pot for a full double. Shahni flashed K♠2x before he tossed it into the muck.
