Kurtzman Wins a Monster Pot with Ace-High

Tyler Foran

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The 10♣8♦4♦2♣ turn was already on the felt and Eric Kurtzman was in the big blind and checked to Yannick Capocetti who was on his immediate left as dropped 18,900 into the pot of 38,200.

Kurtzman thought about it for about a minute, and made the call.

The 2♠ paired the board on the river, and Kurtzman checked once more. Capocetti tapped the table, and Kurtzman announced, "Just an ace," as he rolled A♠3♥ face up.

Capocetti mucked his hand as the other players at the table gasped in disbelief.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three ways to the 9♦7♣6♣10♣ turn, the small blind checked and was then the only one to call a bet worth 11,500 by Santhosh Suvarna in the big blind. On the 3♥ river, the action checked to Suvarna again and he bet another 30,000. This time, a snap fold followed and Suvarna raked in the pot without showdown.

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Four-way to a flop of 2♥K♦6x, the player in the hijack and Connor Drinan in the cutoff had both put in 4,000 chips when Richard Guzzo jammed all in for 25,400 in the small blind.

The other player in the hand folded before the hijack called. Drinan added his cards to the muck as well, and the players showed down.

Richard Guzzo: K♥6♥ All in
Hijack: A♦9♦

The 2♣ turn gave the hijack some more outs, but the 4♥ remained safe for Guzzo to double up.

Tyler Boyer

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the river with roughly 35,000 in the pot and the board showing Q♠6♦2♥4♠5♣.

Yasheel Doddanavar checked from under the gun position, and Alex Fitzgerald bet out 15,000. Curtis Nare quickly called the bet, and Doddanavar folded.

Fitzgerald tabled Q♥Q♣ for a flopped set of queens. Nare flashed AxQx for a top pair, top kicker before mucking his hand.
