Noori Sweats a Triple Up
Low Card: 5,000
Completion: 20,000
Limits: 20,000-40,000
Michael Noori: XxXx/A♦6♣7♣
Dario Alioto: XxXx/2♠7♣5♦
Hisashi Yamanouchi: XxXx/2♦9♣2♣ - folded on fifth street
Michael Noori completed, Dario Alioto raised, and Hisashi Yamanouchi called. Noori then reraised all in and both Alioto and Yamanouchi called.
Alioto bet on fourth street and Yamanouchi called to create a side pot. Alioto bet again on fifth, and this time Yamanouchi folded.
Noori had gone over to the rail and had to be called back to the table to turn over his cards. Alioto finished with A♠Q♦K♠Q♣ for a pair of queens, while Noori had 9♠10♥ showing by seventh.
He peeled the 8♠ to make a straight as he earned a triple up.
"I wasn't even paying attention to the runout," Noori admitted.
"Pay attention, you goof. It's only the final two tables of a 10K. There's a lot of skill in sweating cards," Jake Schwartz told him.
