Nice Pickup for Sahakian

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 0/0, 25,000 ante

K♠7♦3♥5♥6♦
10♠A♣K♣9♥7♠

Arvan Sahakian was second to act on the flop and potted it to 200,000. Yang Wang was a few seats over and shoved for 280,000, and when it got back to Sahakian, he called.

Yang Wang: Q♠Q♥J♣3♣ All in
Arvan Sahakian: K♦J♦J♥2♣

Wang had flopped a straight on the bottom and Sahakian's king was best on the top. Neither the turn nor the river changed anything, and the two chopped it up.

"That was a nice little pickup," said Sahakian after the hand.

4♣3♦J♦8♦J♣
8♣A♣K♣9♦4♠

Jaswinder Lally placed a pot-sized bet of 200,000 into the middle on the flop, and action folded round to Robert Nehorayan, who check-raised for a second pot-sized bet of the hand. Lally, with only 65,000 behind, snapped him off.

Lally was holding K♠8♥3♥3♠ for bottom set and bottom two pair, whilst Nehorayan had two pair on top, and a flush on the bottom with J♥10♣9♥3♣. Nehorayan hit one of two jacks to give him a better full house on top, and Lally's boat outs didn't hit on the bottom, sending him home, just having made a pay jump.
