Pateychuk Delays His Double

Adam Lamers

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Andrey Pateychuk slid out a raise to 1,000,000 in early position, leaving just 100,000 chips behind. Alexander Villa shoved all in on his left and the rest of the table folded. Pateychuk looked around the room for a minute, three places off the pay jump, before making the call.

Andrey Pateychuk: K♦J♣
Alexander Villa: A♠8♠

The flop came J♠J♦7♠ to give Pateychuk trip jacks and Villa a flush draw. The 7♦ on the turn improved Pateychuk to a full house and Villa was drawing dead to the A♣ on the river.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Sergio Torres raised to 425,000 from early position as action folded to Jose Aguilera in the small blind who three-bet to 1,500,000. Torres then pushed his entire stack forward and Aguilera called.

Sergio Torres: 9♦9♣
Jose Aguilera: Q♣Q♠

Torres found out he was crushed by Aguilera's queens and needed a miracle, but none arrived on the 5♥10♦7♣10♣7♦ board. The stacks were counted down and Torres had 8,200,000 remaining. Aguilera had him covered by about 400,000 and a teary-eyed Torres went off to commiserate with his supporters on the rail.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Spencer Taylor on the button was all in and at risk against Nicholas Gerrity in the big blind.

Spencer Taylor: 4♠4♦
Nicholas Gerrity: A♣9♣

Taylor would need to win a race to survive and did remain ahead on the J♠Q♣K♥ flop. The A♥ turn, however, left him on the brink, needing to find a ten for a chop or a four for the outright win. No miracle comeback materialized, with the Q♠ river completing the board to send Taylor out of the tournament.

He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.

Scott Berko raised to 400,000 in early position and Liran Betito three-bet to 1,075,000 on his left. The action folded back to Berko who shoved all in for 2,800,000. Betito asked for a count and then called as the cards went face up.

Scott Berko: K♠K♥
Liran Betito: 7♠7♥

The flop came J♣10♠10♦ and Berko was still well out front with his pocket kings. The 9♣ on the turn gave Betito some added outs but the K♣ on the river ensured Berko of a double up.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

In dire need of a double-up when getting moved tables, Scott Berko instantly received it with kings against the pocket sevens of Liran Betito.

He then three-bet to 1,300,000 out of the big blind soon after and Anirban Das called. Das checked the 9♥5♣3♦ flop and Berko's bet of 925,000 won the pot.
