Thiriart Takes Huge Pot From Goel to Take Chip Lead
Nível 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 5♣2♦9♥ and Stefano Pizzuti was already all in with his last few thousand in the middle postflop. Arthur Thiriart put in a big raise and Apoorva Goel called to create a side pot of around 220,000.
The turn was the 7♥ and Thiriart fired out a bet of 170,000. Goel then moved all in and Thiriart called all in for 576,000 total.
Goel had K♥K♦ for an overpair, but Thiriart turned over 2♠2♣ for a set of deuces and was way ahead, leaving Goel drawing to a king on the river.
The river came the 5♥ and Thiriart held to win a huge pot, sending Pizzuti to the rail and chipping up to over 1.2 million, putting him as the chip leader heading into the dinner break.
