Fortune Shifts: Livshitz Doubles Up, Gambini Falls Short
Level 33
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
In the midst of an active streak, Malinov Atanas opted for an open-raise once again, this time from under the gun. Marco Gambini, positioned on the button, decided to call. The action escalated when Gabi Livshitz, in the small blind, went all in for 2,400,000.
Atanas, curious but hesitant, requested a count from the dealer but ultimately chose not to commit. Perhaps it was a gut feeling, as Marco Gambini made an instant call.
Gabi Livshitz: 10♣10♠
Marco Gambini: K♠K♥
Initially appearing promising for Gambini with the stronger pair, the 9♦3♣8♠J♦7♠ board ultimately favored Livshitz with a straight, securing the win for him and a confidence he seemed to exude from the flop onward.
