button in SafariShmuelov Sees His Last Runout
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Hollenberg opened from early position before Fabio Muhr called on the button. Yotam Shmuelov risked it all when he three-bet shoved for 22,500 from the small blind.
Hollenberg re-shoved in response to clear out Muhr and go to a showdown against Shmuelov, with Shmuelov at risk.
Yotam Shmuelov: Q♣Q♦
Michael Hollenberg: A♣A♠
Shmuelov had a quality hand, but the timing was off as Hollenberg had the best starting hand in poker.
The 8♣7♦4♠ flop did not alter the standings as Hollenberg maintained his lead.
Shmuelov wiffed on the 5♦ turn before the final nail in the coffin was delivered when the 4♣ river peeled to eliminate him from contention.
