Everyone Wins But Kivu

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

John Jacob went all in for his last 77,000 and was called by Joshua Berthiaume two seats to his left.

Alexis Kivu went all in over the top for quite a bit more and Berthiaume, with no one left to act behind, asked for a count. Perhaps realizing that his count wouldn't weigh on his decision, he interrupted the dealer and said, "I call, I call."

John Jacob: 99 All in
Alexis Kivu: AQ All in
Joshua Berthiaume: AA

Berthiaume had the best starting hand possible but Kivu did pick up some outs when the flop rolled K106.

The turn gave Jacob more outs with the 7 and when they 8 rolled off he was out of his seat, clapping his hands.

"Yes! F*ck yeah! Sorry guys, I have not been here before ..."

Despite Berthiaume having his aces cracked for the main pot, he still held up for a big side pot and to eliminate Kivu.
