Mendez Doubles Through Olejniczak

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Danny Olejniczak got his stack of 9,100,000 in from the hijack. Agustin Mendez called in the big blind, and the cards hit their backs.

Danny Olejniczak: A♠Q♣ All in
Agustin Mendez: J♠J♦

Olejniczak calmly looked on as the 6♣5♥10♥7♠ runout provided no help. The A♣ river gave him the best pair, however, and without much emotion, he raked in his double-up

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Matt Glantz and Ryan Leng were already heads-up and on the river when we got to the table.

They were looking at a A♦A♣6♦K♣9♣ board and the pot stood at around 14,000,000.

Leng had moved all in for his remaining 19,400,000 stack from the big blind, and action was on Glantz to make the call, sitting with 18,000,000 in the hijack.

Glantz said "I hope you have a flush", before making the call.

Matt Glantz: Q♣J♣ All in
Ryan Leng: X♣X♣

Glantz showed the nut flush and Leng flashed a lower flush before throwing his hand into the muck.

Glantz remarked "I wasn't trying to slow roll you, its hard for you to have a flush, I was thinking more Ace Nine"

Leng was left with 600,000 and Glantz picked up a massive stack.

In the next hand Leng was forces all in from the small blind with A♦8♠ All in and held against Keenan Kuhn's jam from the cutoff with A♣5♣ and picked up the pot taking him up to 2,500,000 after both players missed on the 2♥7♥J♦10♠3♦ runout.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.

Booth, who the poker community hasn't heard from for several years, opened up about his absence and going missing in 2020, as well as his gambling addiction and various poker debts to players like Doug Polk that he says he plans to make right.

"I got caught up in all of it and all I can try and do is make right now," he told PokerNews of his poker debts.
