Dzivielevski Scoops a Small One

Claudio Elizalde

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bin Duan limped in late position, Yuri Dzivielevski limped the small, and Pete Chen checked his option.

Three ways, they saw the dealer scroll across the A♣10♥2♠. Both blinds checked and Duan bet 5,000. Only Dzivielevski called.

The turn fell the J♦ and both players checked.

The Q♣ completed the board and both players checked again. Dzivielevski tabled 10♠6♦ and his pair of tens were good enough to claim the pot.

One Foxen In, One Foxen Out

Claudio Elizalde

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kristen Foxen raised to 10,000 preflop and when it folded to Shai Zurr in the small blind, he went all in for exactly 50,000.

Foxen went into the tank but eventually made the crying call and cards were on their backs.

Shai Zurr: J♦J♥ All in
Kristen Foxen: A♥8♥

The flop brought the 8♦10♣10♠, the turn peeled the Q♦, still favoring Zurr but it was lights out for him when the A♣ fell, awarding Foxen the pot.

Kristen Foxen's husband, Alex Foxen, was seen leaving the tournament area and his table was muttering something about how he jammed Qx9x and ran into kings.

Matthew Davenport moved almost all of his chips in for 8,700 from late position, and Aram Zobian moved all in from the small blind with the bigger stack. Davenport called for his last 1,000 chip, and the race was inevitable.

Matthew Davenport: 8♠8♥ All in
Aram Zobian: A♣K♦

Ian Matakis raised to 12,000 under the gun and it folded around to Kevin Ordet in the big blind who made it 27,500. Matakis weighed his options before jamming for 135,000 effective. Ordet snap-called.

Kevin Ordet: K♠K♦ All in
Ian Matakis: A♦Q♣

The board rolled out 2♠7♦Q♥3♥8♥, awarding Ordet a full double and leaving Matakis on fumes.
