Nazarian Out Right After Dinner

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Karen Nazarian jammed the K♠Q♥4♦ flop when checked to by Matthew Fergenbaum and received an instant call by the latter, as he shrugged and flipped over his A♣7♣. Fergenbaum was a huge favourite with the A♠K♦ and locked up the knockout on the 6♥ turn to make the 6♦ river a formality.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded to Alex Foxen on the button who only took a moment before putting out enough chips to cover both of the blinds.

The action was then on Anuj Kwatra in the small blind who wasted no time before putting in the last 17,000 of his stack. The big blind folded and they were off to a full board with the cards on their backs.

Anuj Kwatra: 8♠9♠
Alex Foxen: A♣4♣

Foxen flopped an ace on the 10♦7♣A♥ flop but Kwarta was open ended. The 6♥ turn would bring it right in and the J♦ river secured the pot and kept Kwarta in the race.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Keating opened under the gun to 4,000 before the action folded to Daniel Negreanu in late position who put in a three-bet to 10,000. It folded back to Keating who flicked in a call and they were off to see three.

The 8♥A♠2♥ flop landed and the action checked to Negreanu who continued for 8,000. Keating called.

The 4♦ hit turn and the action checked to Negreanu again. He sized up with a bet of 21,500 and Keating went into the tank.

After a full two minutes Keating moved all in. Negreanu got out his camera to film the vlog and then called.

Alex Keating: A♥J♥
Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♦

Keating needed a jack or a heart but the help would not come as the 7♠ hit the river. Negreanu scooped and Keating hit the rail.
