La Francesca Fires at Karim; Kesidis on Right Side of Massive Cooler
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alessio La Francesca raised to 60,000 under the gun and Michel Karim three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack. La Francesca then four-bet to 330,000, and Karim called.
The flop came J♥6♣6♥ and La Francesca bet 75,000. Karim called and the 5♥ fell on the turn, where La Francesca bet another 210,000. Karim gave up his hand this time, and La Francesca took the pot.
At the same time at another table, Karsten Knoebel had bet 250,000 from the hijack on a board of J♣J♠A♠2♦3♥ before Ratmir Kesidis moved all in for 665,000 from the cutoff. Knoebel called with K♥J♥ for trips, but Kesidis showed A♦A♥ for a flopped full house to win the massive pot.
