Verbitchi Gets It in with a Massive Draw

Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The pot stood at around 12,000 with three players looking at a board of Q♥4♥A♠8♠.

Nichita Verbitchi, who was under the gun, bet out 5,500, a player in middle position called and Abdel-hakim Khelifa, on the button, raised to 18,200. Verbitchi moved all in for 55,300 and the player in middle position folded. Khelifa asked for a count and made the call.

Nichita Verbitchi: J♥10♥ All in
Abdel-hakim Khelifa: A♥Q♣

Verbitchi was behind Khelifa's two pair, but had outs to both a straight and a flush. The 5♦ didn't oblige for Verbitchi and he was sent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With the pot sitting at around 24,000 and the board displaying 9♣A♦10♠7♥7♠, Tom Kunze pushed all in for 30,200. Kirill Beutler took his time weighing his options, repeatedly asking Kunze if he would at least show one card if he folded. But Kunze stayed silent, making Beutler’s decision even tougher.

In the end, Beutler decided to fold, revealing an A♥ in hopes that Kunze would show him a card. However, Kunze simply claimed the pot without revealing anything, leaving Beutler disappointed.

Ion-Silviu Scobai, Saleh Assi, Konstantin Voronin, Athanasios Andrianopoulos, and Yunsheng Sun had all put in 1,900 preflop to see a flop of Q♣2♣4♦ which checked to Sun, who fired 4,000. Only Scobai called.

The turn brought a 3♥ which was checked through to the 9♦ river. Scobai reached for chips and fired 6,000. Sun didn't need to think for too long and let his hand go immediately, and Scobai was pushed the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Robert Kaggerud raised to 1,600 from the cutoff and Eduard Rau three-bet to 4,000 out of the small blind. Kaggerud called.

Rau put out a continuation bet of 2,500 on the 4♥6♥J♣ flop and Kaggerud shoved for 8,700. Rau seemed not to like it, but he made the call to put Kaggerud at risk.

Robert Kaggerud: 9♥9♣ All in
Eduard Rau: A♠K♥

Rau needed to find and ace or king to send Kaggerud to the rail. However, the rest of the board ran out 4♦8♥ and Kaggerud had doubled up to almost the starting stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Eduard Rau	53,000 -12,300	-12,300
