Ivanov Scores Knockout

Geoff Paul
Geoff Paul
Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With the flop showing K♠A♠4♥, Georgi Ivanov checked from the big blind. A player in middle position bet 4,500, and Ivanov raised to 10,000. His opponent called after a few moments.

A 5♥ came on the turn. Ivanov bet enough to put his opponent all in for his last 20,000, and received a call.

Middle Position: A♦J♥
Georgi Ivanov: A♥4♦

Ivanov had paired his kicker, and won the hand after the 10♣ failed to improve his opponent's hand.

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

After significant action there were four players all in. Amber Donatelli was covered by two of the players and at risk.

The cards hit their backs.

Shortest Stack: A♣3♣
Amber Donatelli: K♠J♥
Second Biggest: A♥K♥
Biggest Stack: 8♣8♥

With most of the aces dead Donatelli was in good shape to get a potential double and right on time the board came J♣6♠9♥5♣3♥. This gave Donatelli almost a full quadruple and the player with pocket eights won a small side pot.

Action was picked up on the river in a hand between Shea Quintin in the cutoff and a player in early position.

The board read 7♦2♣8♣10♦A♦ and the big blind moved all in for 20,000 and as the chips hit the felt, Quintin called.

Opponent: XxXx
Shea Quintin: K♦Q♦

The other player whipped their hand into the muck, rendering it unretrievable as Quintin added another stack to his growing pile of chips.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was an open under the gun to 5,000. A player in late position then went all in for his remaining 21,000. When action folded to Christopher Intal in the cutoff he didn't waste much time before jamming over the top. He had the under-the-gun player covered who eventually made the fold and they went to a runout.

At Risk Player: A♦9♦
Christopher Intal: J♦J♣

The board ran out 4♥5♣3♦ giving the at-risk player a wheel draw and backdoor diamonds. The turn brought a 9♠ giving Intal's opponent a pair but the river was a brick 10♠. Intal sends his opponent to the rail.
