Aido Forces a Fold From Zavorotnaja

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anastasija Zavorotnaja opened to 16,000 first to act and was called by Sergio Aido on the button.

Aido then called a 17,000 bet from Zavorotnaja on the K♣4♠4♣ flop and a 30,000 bet from Zavorotnaja on the 10♣ turn.

Zavorotnaja checked after the 6♠ completed the board, and Aido bet approximately 170,000 — leaving himself a single T-1,000 chip behind.

Zavorotnaja let her hand go, and Aido collected the pot.

Laak Loses a Flip to Bust

Tim Baker

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Phil Laak was all-in at risk for the last of his stack with Matthew Kramer making the call to try and send him to the payout desk.

Phil Laak: 7♣7♥ All in
Matthew Kramer: A♦K♠

It was a flip that would either see Laak double up or be eliminated. The 10♦K♥9♠ flop propelled Kramer into the lead with top pair. Laak couldn't find a seven on the 8♠ turn or 3♠ river, and he was out of the tournament.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up as Stephen Wangler, and Konstantin Generalov were all in against Hao-Shan Huang.

Stephen Wangler: Q♦J♣ All in
Konstantin Generalov: K♦Q♠ All in

Walker Ships it on Kassouf

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Cornelius Walker opened to 16,000 from middle position and Will Kassouf three-bet to 47,000 from middle position. Action folded back to Walker, who counted out his stack and then announced he was all in for a bit over 300,000.

"I have a Royal Flush draw," Kassouf said. "Big suited ace..."

It didn't take long for the clock to get called, which Kassouf thought was unreasonably fast.

The floor came over and Kassouf pled he had a real decision. The floor gave him a minute and Kassouf showed the A♥ after a bit of tanking before letting his hand go.
