Smidt Chips Down; Kulev Chips Up

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn, with the board reading A8910. Big blind Omer Smidt checked over to Martin Zamani in the cutoff, who then put 300,000 into a pot of 450,000. After some thinking, Smidt made the call. "What card do you need?" asked Zamani, as the 3 peeled off. When checked to, Zamani put Smidt all in for his last 185,000. Smidt used two time bank chips before making the fold.

The very next hand, David Chen opened to 60,000 from early position. On his direct left, Alex Kulev three-bet to 150,000, prompting Martin Zamani to put in a cold four-bet to 505,000 from the hijack. Chen used a time bank before folding, and Kulev asked Zamani "roughly how much did you start the hand with?" After receiving the answer, he shoved, putting Zamani at risk. Zamani ended up folding.
