Gierse Gets Alqarqaz
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ayman Alqarqaz open-jammed from the hijack for 265,000. Nikola Gunchev called from the cutoff but Marius Gierse three-bet jammed from the small blind. Action went back to Gunchev who mucked his hand, and the players continued to showdown.
Ayman Alqarqaz: A♠Q♥
Marius Gierse: K♥K♣
It was a classic flip, with Gierse ahead having woken up with pocket kings.
There was little to sweat on the 10♥9♣7♦ flop. There was a small sweat of a chop on the 6♦ turn, but the 7♣ river saw to Alqarqaz's elimination.
