Terziani Sets the Trap

Tyler Foran

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stefano Terziani limped the small blind and called a raise of 240,000 from Jon Kyte in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♣Q♣10♥, and Terziani checked to Kyte who jammed all in. Terziani wasted no time calling off his stack of 1,115,000 and both hands were tabled.

Stefano Terziani: A♠A♥ All in
Jon Kyte: J♦10♣

Terziani set the trap with aces and Kyte flopped a pair and an open-ended straight draw. The 3♣ turn gave Kyte even more outs with a flush draw but the board pairing Q♠ changed nothing, sending the double toward Terziani.

Fabrice Maltez: A♠8♠ All in
Robert Bull: Q♦Q♥

Xiaohu Liu: 10♣10♥ All in
Fintan Hand: A♣J♣

They were off to the races and the 8♦6♠5♦ flop looked promising for Liu. The 2♦ turn meant Liu was in great shape to double, but the painful A♠ landed on the river, eliminating him in 19th place.
