Kurganov vs. Sulsky in Massive 400K Pot

Nível 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Igor Kurganov opened for 5,100 from the hijack only to have Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky three-bet to 13,500 from the cutoff. The button folded, as did the blinds, and Kurganov pushed back with a four-bet to 32,500. Sulsky thought for a few moments and then announced that he was all in. Kurganov wasted little time in calling off for 201,900 total.

"Ok, let's do it," Sulsky said before tabling the . He almost seemed to know it was a flip, and indeed it was as Kurganov rolled over the . The excitement that comes with a race such as this was quickly dissipated when the flop gave Kurganov a set.

"I still have a jack," Sulsky said after the turned. Unfortunately for him, he wouldn't find one as the blanked on the river. Ship the double to Kurganov.

"I Pay. Woman. You."

Nível 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Joe Cada opened for 4,500 from the hijack only to have Marvin Rettenmaier three-bet to 12,200 from the cutoff. Action folded to a short-stacked Artem Litvinov in the big blind and he turned sideways in his chair, turning his back to the action. The dealer seemed a bit confused, as did some of the players, but then Litvinov pulled out a coin and flipped it.

We're not sure what it came up, but it inspired Litvinov to move all in for 32,200. Cada quickly folded and Rettenmaier thought about a call. Litvinov, who is from Russia, attempted to talk Rettenmaier out of making the call in his broken english, but the German called him nonetheless.

Litvinov:
Rettenmaier:

Litvinov looked crushed when the flop paired Rettenmaier and immediately stood from his chair. The gave him pause as it delivered a flush draw, and then Litvinov went wild when the river completed it to extend his tournament life.

"Yes. Yes. Yes," Litvinov said. "I pay. Woman. You," he added to Rettenmaier.

"I'm good , man," Rettenmaier said with a chuckle. Litvinov then went off to the side, cleared away some spectators and then began doing his patented karate moves in celebration.

Chewy Takes a Chunk from Mercier

[user101598]

Nível 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Andrew "luckychewy" Lichtenberger raised to 5,500 in first position, and the action folded to Jason Mercier, who three-bet to 13,200 on the button. Lichtenberger called.

The dealer spread , Lichtenberger checked, and Mercier continued for 12,300. Lichtenberger called, and both players checked when the turned.

The completed the board, Lichtenberger checked a third and final time, and Mercier tossed out 27,100. Lichtenberger went for the check-raise, making it 75,000 to go, and Mericer sighed loudly. He re-checked his cards two or three more times, snatched a handful of chips in his hand, and finally made the call.

Lichtenberger ripped over - he had flopped the nuts - and Mercier flicked his cards into the muck.
