Nines Doing the Job on #634; King-Queen, Not So Much
Action was picked up with the cards already tabled. Michael Parisi was all-in for roughly 1,200,000 from the small blind and at risk against Johan Schumacher, who had him covered from the hijack.
Michael Parisi: K♦Q♥
Johan Schumacher: 9♥9♦
The board ran out 8♠8♦5♦2♠A♥, and Schumacher’s pocket nines held to eliminate Parisi.
On the very next hand, Murly Manokharan shoved for 1,425,000 from under the gun. Bruno Furth re-raised to 3,000,000 from the cutoff, forcing out the blinds.
Murly Manokharan: K♣Q♥
Bruno Furth: 9♠9♥
“Oh, repeat,” Manokharan remarked, referencing the previous hand.
The J♠10♥4♠ flop gave Manokharan an open-ended straight draw to go with his overs but the 5♦ turn and 2♣ river offered no help. Furth raked in the pot and shared a fist bump with Schumacher as Manokharan hit the rail.
