Kisacikoglu Barrels Into Hunichen

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The pot had grown to around 100,000 in size when Chris Hunichen bet 37,000 under the gun. Orpen Kisacikoglu then raised to 85,000 in the next seat over, and Hunichen called.

Hunichen check-called Kisacikoglu's next bet of 135,000 on the 5♦ turn as well, after which the A♥ river was dealt. Hunichen checked, sending Kisacikoglu into the tank.

After spending one time bank, Kisacikoglu fired a bet of 450,000 into the middle. Hunichen was quick to release his cards, forfeiting the sizable pot to his neighbor.

After just doubling up, Vinny Lingham took more from Jared Bleznick, leaving him one of the shortest stack.

Lingham was under the gun and bet 200,000 on a 7♠10♥4♠J♦ board into a pot of around 400,000. Bleznick call from the cutoff and the pair were taken to the A♦ river.

Both made quick checks to showdown and Lingham tabled his 4♣4♥ for a set of fours, leaving Bleznick to muck.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Moments after the restart, Cary Katz in the big blind and Alex Foxen in the hijack found themselves on a board of K♦7♦7♠4♠6♣ with 600,000 in the pot.

Catz bet 250,000 and Foxen went into the tank. "You have aces, Cary?" Foxen asked. Katz answered that he didn't and after a few more seconds, Foxen made the call with K♣J♥ for two pair. Katz only had A♠4♥ and lost most of his stack.

Down to 65,000, he moved all in in the next hand and was called by Barak Wisbrod who opened from under the gun.

Cary Katz: A♠6♥ All in
Barak Wisbrod: J♠J♥

Wisbrod's jacks held on 4♠2♥K♥10♦K♠ and Katz was eliminated.
