Kuether Out-Duels Cheong

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joseph Kuether and Joseph Cheong were heads-up in a pot that had around 20,000 in the middle and the board reading AA92. Cheong was in the big blind and led out with a bet of 6,000 which Kuether called on the button.

The river was the K and Cheong slowed down with a check. Kuether dropped in a bet of 25,000 and Cheong wasted little time before sending his cards into the muck.

The preflop action was juicy.

Michael Stein opened with a raise to 2,000 from middle position. Dragos Trofimov reraised to 7,000 from the cutoff.

David Rogers four-bet jammed for less with 12,300 chips from the big blind.

Stein reraised to 40,000, which led to an all-in from Trofimov for his full stack.

Rogers decided to throw his remaining 35,500 chips into the pot.

David Rogers: 99All in
Michael Stein: K7All in
Dragos Trofimov: QQ

The runout 5A356 didn't change the preflop positioning, as Trofimov's queens held, sending Rogers and Stein to the rail, where Rogers immediately bought back in.

Alqarqaz Rivers a Straight

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ayman Alqarqaz raised to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by Jiaming Zhao in the hijack. Yulian Bogdanov shipped all in for 11,000 on the button and was called by both Alqarqaz and Zhao.

The flop came Q52 and the action checked through to the 9 on the turn and the 8 on the river. Alqarqaz finally tossed in a bet of 5,000 and Zhao mucked his cards. Alqarqaz turned over J10 for a straight which was more than enough to eliminate Bogdanov who had AK.
