dsalituro

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Timur Vardanian had three-bet to 7,500 from the hijack and Vadym Koriagin called in the cutoff before Michael Sullivan put in a four-bet to 15,500 on the button.

Both opponents called to see the Q♠9♥K♠ flop, where Sullivan moved all in for 34,100. Vardanian and Koriagin both folded and Sullivan asked Koriagin to pick one of his cards, exposing the 6♥.

The next hand, however, Sullivan tangled with Simon Wiciak in a pot that saw Wiciak get his last 87,100 in from the big blind as Sullivan called on the button.

Simon Wiciak: J♥J♣
Michael Sullivan: 10♠10♥

"Ah, for f**ks sake," Sullivan cried out when he saw he was dominated by Wiciak's jacks. Both players stood up from their seats, Wiciak taking out his phone to film the action, as the dealer spread the 4♣6♠5♥Q♦7♣ board.

The stacks were counted down and Wiciak had Sullivan barely covered, sending him to the rail.
