Rezaei Falls to Cekalin's Kings
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Daniel Rezaei called from the small blind and Ritvars Cekalins took his option and raised to 1,700 from the big blind. Rezaei three-bet to 5,500 and, undeterred, Cekalins four-bet to 11,200. Rezaei called.
Rezaei check-called a 5,500 bet from Cekalins on the 7♠5♥J♣ flop and checked again on the 6♠ turn. Cekalins bet enough to put Rezaei all in for his last 24,000 and Rezaei counted out his stack before placing it into the middle.
Daniel Rezaei: A♥J♥
Ritvars Cekalins: K♣K♦
Rezaei had flopped top pair, top kicker, but was in trouble against Cekalins' cowboys.
The 4♣ river failed to improve Rezaei and he wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area.
