Shimelfarb Four-Bet Jams
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gennady Shimelfarb opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to around 78,000 by Rob Wazwaz, who was in the small blind. Shimelfarb four-bet all in over the top to put Wazwaz to a decision for his remaining chips, sending him deep into the tank.
"Gennady, if I show fold and show, will you show me?" asked Wazwaz after over a minute. Shimelfarb stayed statue-esque.
Another minute went by and Wazwaz folded. Shimelfbarb sent his cards to the muck and scooped in the pot.
Meanwhile, Matt Alexander was just eliminated from an adjacent table in 19th place to bring the tournament down to 18 players.
