Iakobishvili Makes Noori Fold
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gha Iakobishvili was the first eliminated player of the tournament, but he immediately reentered the tournament. Moments later, he opened to 3,500 from under the gun, and was called by both players in the blinds.
On A♠8♠2♥, Iakobishvili bet 6,000 and was called twice. But on the turn 9♠, Zaid Noori in the big blind took the lead and bet 11,500, Iakobishvili called, but Sam Greenwood in the small blind check-folded.
The river was the 4♠, and Noori checked. Iakobishvili took this opportunity to almost go all in, and make Noori fold.
