Konishi Among Big Stacks After Eliminating Dandrea

Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Raymond Dandrea had gone all in at a prior point in the hand, creating a main pot of 65,000, and a side pot was brewing between Reo Konishi in the hijack and Timur Margolin on the button.

The board read 3♠7♥4♥5♦ when Konishi bet 30,000. Margolin called to the K♥ river, where Konishi checked. After a while, Margolin decided to check back.

Konishi's Q♦Q♣ bested the J♠J♥ of Margolin and the 9♥9♣ of Dandrea, shipping the sizable pot and sending Dandrea to the rail.

Action was recapped by the table.

Brett Feder raised to 3,500 in the hijack and on the button, Joe McKeehen three-bet to 12,500. Action folded back around to Feder who four-bet to 38,500 and McKeehen called.

The flop rolled out Q♣8♣6♣ and Feder moved all in for 115,000 effective and McKeehen called to put himself at risk.

Brett Feder: Q♥Q♦ All in
Joe McKeehen: A♠A♥

No help was brought to the 2015 WSOP Main Event champion on the runout of 3♥9♠ and Feder raked in a massive pot while McKeehen was eliminated from the tournament.

Also eliminated shortly after at the same table was 8th place finisher in the 2022 WSOP Main Event, Aaron Duczak.
