Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Assaf Zeharia and Kahle Burns were heads-up on a board of K♥8♣J♥10♥K♠ with around 12,000 in the pot when Burns bet 2,500 from the big blind. Zeharia then moved all in from the cutoff.

Burns had around 23,000 remaining and went into the tank for several minutes. "Flush is good?" Zeharia asked him.

"If you don't have a flush, why do you think," Zeharia added as Burns continued to think through the decision for his tournament life.

"Am I supposed to fold if I don't have a flush?" Burns replied.

"Take your time. Four minutes you have, but not too long into break," Zeharia added, pointing to the clock that continued to tick down towards dinner break.

Burns eventually folded and Zeharia showed A♥Q♥ for a royal flush. "You have to show that one," Burns said.

"This guy has been getting blessed by the deck," a tablemate said as Zeharia added more to his massive stack.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Harlan Karnofsky raised from early position and was three-bet to 3,300 by Peter Nigh in middle position. Action folded back around to Karnofsky, who four-bet to 8,600.

Undeterred, Nigh put in a five-bet, which was enough to put Karnofsky all in for approximately 33,000 total. Karnofsky quickly called and hands were revealed.

Harlan Karnofsky: A♥K♣ All in
Peter Nigh: A♦A♣

It was the worst scenario for Karnofsky, and the J♥K♥9♣8♠2♠ wasn't enough — eliminating the early chip leader from contention.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was caught on the river as the board read A♥2♣Q♠10♦9♣. From the big blind a big stack player bet 3,000. Brian Altman was in the small blind and considered it for some time before he raised to 22,0000 which got a quick fold from his opponent to take the pot.

At the same table, Kevin Gerhart is up in chips while Esther Taylor has only a few chips.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Four players saw a flop of K♣J♣3♠ where a player in middle position bet 2,500. The cutoff then raised to 10,000 and only Ken Bidinger called in the small blind.

The turn was the A♣ and the cutoff bet 5,000 out of turn. Bidinger checked and the bet was allowed to stand as Bidinger called. Both players then checked the 4♣ river.

The cutoff showed K♠J♠ for two pair, but Bidinger had Q♦10♥ for a straight to win the pot. "If I shove do you call?" he asked his opponent.

"Not with that board," the cutoff replied.

Shiv Narayanan opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 800. Clayton Olvera called before Tyler Gaston three-bet to 3,800 from the hijack. Both Narayanan and Olvera called.

Gaston continued for 4,300 on a monotone 10♦7♦4♦ flop and only Narayanan made the call.

The turn J♥ rolled off and Gaston sized-up to 13,700. Narayanan moved all in for 84,000 and Gaston went into the tank. "Pocket tens no good?" said Gaston before mucking his cards.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The player in early position raised to 1,000, Rachid Amamou three-bet to 3,500 in late position, and the player in the small blind cold four-bet to 11,500.

Early position got out of the way, and Amamou five-bet shoved all in, putting the small blind at risk, who had 27,500 behind. The small blind folded and Amamou showed Q♠Q♦.

After the hand, Amamou mentioned that today is his birthday. What better way to spend it than playing in the WSOP Main Event!
