Zuraikat Folds a Pair; Stoica First Out
Adrian Mateos raised to 700 in the cutoff and was called by Maxim Panyak on the button before small blind Ramzi Zuraikat three-bet to 2,100 in the small blind.
Both Mateos and Panyak called to the A♠9♥6♠ flop, where Zuraikat bet another 2,600. Panyak called, while Mateos got out of the way heading to the Q♠ turn.
Zuraikat slowed down and checked as Panyak fired out 5,200. Zuraikat turned over 8♣8♥ and tossed them into the muck as Panyak took the pot.
Earlier on the day, Zuraikat won a massive pot off Roman Stoica, and the guys at PokerFirma told PokerNews the details.
There was 6,500 in the pot on the 10♣8♦6♦J♦ board and Zuraikat had a bet of 27,200 in front of him, indicating there was some previous action on the turn. Stoica moved all in for 98,000, covering Zuraikat by 4,000. The latter went deep into the tank and eventually called.
Ramzi Zuraikat: 6♠6♣
Roman Stoica: A♦10♦
Zuraikat was behind with his set and needed the board to pair to survive. He called for the full house, and the dealer complied by finishing the board off with the 8♣. A few hands later, Stoica was eliminated.
Duc Tuan Tran was also recently eliminated.
