Jakutis Doubles Through Zappala

Maxime Taldir

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Laurynas Jakutis jammed for 174,000 from the hijack and he was called by Francesco Zappala on the button.

Laurynas Jakutis: K♣Q♣ All in
Francesco Zappala: K♦J♦

Zappala didn't look happy when he discovered that Jakutis had a better kicker. He still had a chance to eliminate Jukutis thanks to a straight draw with the Q♠8♥10♥ flop, but the 3♦7♣ runout changed nothing and Jakutis doubled up with top pair.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Patrick White came in with a raise to 24,000 from early position before Amir Bonder jammed the cutoff for 115,000. White made the call to put Bonder at risk.

Amir Bonder: 9♥9♦ All in
Patrick White: J♠10♣

Bonder was up out of his chair as the dealer fanned out the 4♠3♥3♠ flop, keeping his two nines ahead. The 2♥ turn meant a jack or ten on the river would end Bonder's tournament. A K♣ completed the board, prompting a fist bump from Bonder as he doubled through White.

Stepan Budac: 8♦8♠ All in
Ran Ilani: A♣Q♣

The 10♦5♣K♣ flop kept Budac's eights in the lead, but Ilani picked up straight and flush draws. The Q♥ turn gave Ilani a pair, while the 8♣ fell on the river to give Budac a set, but Ilani at the same time made his flush to send the newly-crowned WSOP bracelet winner to the rail.
