Alipoufard Jams On Lowery

Liam Gannon

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With a call in front of him, 18-time WSOPC ring winner Daniel Lowery raised to 36,000 which saw Mansour Alipourfard on the button raise to 106,000 which only Lowery called.

Lowery checked the flop of Q♠5♥3♠ over to Alipourfard who bet 126,000 and Lowery called.

On the turn 2♦, Lowery bet 126,000 which sent Alipourfard into the tank. After four minutes, Alipourfard chirped up.

"You didn't call me with ace-four did you?" asked Alipourfard. A few seconds after saying that he moved all in for 299,000 effective.

After some time pondering, Lowery tossed his hand into the muck and Alipoufard soared up the counts.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Walter Ellis limped from under the gun. Timothy Sullivan raised to 24,000 from the cutoff. Azim Popatia, on the button, Jason Sell in the small blind, and Ellis made the call for a four-way pot. The flop came out with J♠A♠9♥, and it was checked to Sullivan, who bet out 20,000. Only Sell called to see the turn.

Both players checked the turn 10♥.

On the river 6♥, Sell checked, Sullivan bet 12,000, and Sell pulled the check-raise to 30,000. Sullivan reluctantly called. Sell turned over K♥4♥ for the flush.

Ellis stated jovially, "There was a thump under the table, when you hit, I think it was a tell."

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Paul Sokoloff opened for 32,000 and got a jam all-in from Kenneth Asher for 710,000. Sokoloff mulled over the situation, counted his chips, and thought further. He finally made the call, taking the two players to a showdown.

Kenneth Asher: 9♦9♠ All in
Paul Sokoloff: A♠Q♠

The board ran 10♥J♠10♠8♥6♥. Sokoloff and a lot on the table were left shocked that none of his numerous outs came, upholding Asher's nines. Sokoloff, in disbelief had to ask, "How did you win that?"
