Korochenskiy Sending Pictures to Family

Roxanne Johnson

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Keith Tubin raised from under the gun to 8,000, and Anatoly Korochenskiy moved all in for 36,500 from late position. Tubin made the call, and Korochenskiy was way behind heading to the board.

Anatoly Korochenskiy: 10♦10♠ All in
Keith Tubin: A♥A♠

The board was a miracle for Korochenskiy with 10♥2♥5♦2♦J♥, and a full house cracked the aces.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

John Evans in the hijack jammed for 21,000. Keith Pomonis on the button raised all-in for 46,500 and the blinds folded.

John Evans: K♦K♥ All in
Keith Pomonis: J♦J♥

As the bubble is approaching, Evans found a good spot to double his stack. However, the board ran out 6♣8♦J♣7♦7♥, giving Pomonis a set on the flop and improving to a full house on the river, crushing Evans’ hopes of making the money and sending him to the rail.

Maxime Taldir

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a flop of 10♠6♣9♠, Shawn Tadolini in the small blind bet 25,000 but Michael Richer in middle position raised all-in for 79,500.

Tadolini went into the tank for a very long moment, talking to Richer. He eventually folded 9♣9♥ face up for a set and let the pot go in Richer's direction.

"23 players were eliminated during this hand," a player at the table joked.
