Notable Chip Counts

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andrews in the Blender

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were roughly 34,000 chips in the pot on 610QA.

Cherish Andrews in the cutoff bet 14,000 and Nick Yunis in the big blind made the call. Andrews went for another street of betting when the J hit the river and she bet 16,000. Yunis took a few moments before he announced all in for 40,000 effective.

Andrews went deep into the tank and after a long deliberation she decided to fold. Yunis double checked his whole cards and flung the 2 across the felt.

Kunze Keeps Firing

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tom Kunze opened to 2,000 from under the gun, and Pavel Plesuv called in the cutoff. Giorgii Skhulukhia defended his big blind, and all three players checked the 853 flop.

Another check from Skhulukhia followed the 3 turn, where Kunze bet 3,000. Plesuv was the only caller, and Kunze fired again for 7,000 on the 5 river.

Plesuv took some time before sending his cards into the muck, and Kunze collected the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ellie Mirzaei
Ellie Mirzaei

Ellie Mirzaei was all in from the big blind for 95,800, at risk against Michael Rossitto in the cutoff.

Ellie Mirzaei: AK All in
Michael Rossitto: KK

Mirzaei picked up some hope on the 59J flop, and completed a flush on the 4 turn. Rossitto saw the final K on the river, but it was too late. After scoring a knockout with pocket kings earlier, Rossitto saw them cracked by Mirzaei and paid the double-up.

River Bet Enough for Costa

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nick Yunis opened to 2,200 in the hijack, and Felipe Costa three-bet in the cutoff to 6,700. The call was made, and a pair of checks followed the 635 flop.

Both players decline to bet again on the 4 turn, and the dealer flipped over the Q river. Yunis checked one last time, and Costa fired a bet of 3,500.

That was enough to see Yunis let his hand go, and Costa picked up the pot.
