Three All Ins To Eliminate Ketzer

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Down to almost nothing, Felipe Ketzer's all-in was, of course, called.

Opponent: J♣J♦
Felipe Ketzer: Q♦4♥

On 7♦Q♣A♠Q♥5♣, Ketzer was lucky enough to hit trips and doubled up to 1,100 chips.

On the button in the next hand, he moved all in again and was called by Bart Lybaert in the big blind.

Felipe Ketzer: Q♥9♦
Bart Lybaert: K♠5♥

Once again, Ketzer doubled up thanks to a straight hit directly on the flop 10♠8♦J♣A♠3♠. The situation made everybody laugh.

Felipe Boianovsky turned serious again a few seconds later when he opened to 1,800 from middle position. Ketzer shoved for 3,400 from the cutoff and Casimir Seire called in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 3♥4♠J♠, where Boianovsky bet 1,800. Seire check-called and check-called again on the turn 9♣ after Boianovsky bet 8,200. On the river 3♣, Boianovsky finally moved all in and Seire folded.

Felipe Ketzer: 7♣4♣
Felipe Boianovsky: A♥J♣

Ketzer had a pair, but the other Felipe had a better one, so Ketzer was eliminated.
