Zaki Shows Early, Ivey Lets It Go

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

The hand began with Justin Zaki raising to 10,000 from the cutoff, and Phil Ivey made the call from the big blind to go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer spread KJJ, and Ivey led out with a bet of 8,000. Zaki called.

The turn brought the 3, and Ivey fired another 8,000. Zaki didn’t hesitate to call once more.

On the 10 river, with only two 5,000 chips left behind, Ivey moved his remaining stack into clear view at the dealer’s request. Mistaking the motion for an all-in, Zaki tossed in 10,000 and tabled his hand K7 for a runner-runner flush.

Since action was still on Ivey, the dealer called for the floor. After reviewing the situation, the floor ruled that there was no binding action and Ivey still had a decision to make, now fully aware of Zaki’s hand.

Ivey, holding J9 for trip jacks, opted to fold.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised on the button to 9,000, Aliaksei Boika went all in for 80,000 and Christian Roberts called in the big blind. Kornuth clearly with a decision asked the dealer for a count but folded once the amount got confirmed.

Aliaksei Boika: A4 All in
Christian Roberts: Q10

The board ran out safe for Boika as it came K3K38 and he doubled his stack.

Kornuth turned to Roberts clearly annoyed at this point with his decision and asked "did you see a 4 or something, what the f*** just happened?".

What a Set Up

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There were roughly 75,000 chips in the pot on a flop of K789, Jesse Lonis checked from early position and Victoria Livschitz bet 50,000 from the button. Lonis was in the tank for a short period before announcing that he was all in for 103,000, Livschitz snap-called.

Jesse Lonis: J10 All in
Victoria Livschitz: KK

Lonis had turned the nuts and just needed to fade the board pairing on the river to earn himself a double-up. Unfortunately for Livschitz, the A rolled off, meaning she had to send a chunk of her stack over to Lonis.
