  • A big hand just happened on Table 59 between Evgeni Ozadovski (BB), Ian Robillard (UTG) and Jonathan Kharmouche (CO).

    Ian opened with a raise to 11.5K, and it folded to Jonathan who shoved his short stack (27.5K). Evgeni in the BB flat-called… and then Ian re-raised all-in, putting Evgeni to a decision. After about a minute of thinking, Evgeni called, putting a significant proportion of his stack at risk.

    The players flipped over their hands at once: Evgeni held 8 of Hearts 8 of Spades, Ian had King of Spades King of Diamonds and Jonathan had Ace of Diamonds King of Hearts.

    The board ran out about as safe as possible for pocket Kings: 6 of Clubs 9 of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds 2 of Spades 7 of Spades. Ian took the whole pot – 27.5K from Jonathan and 120K from Evgeni. Add another 5K for the blinds and antes and he grew his stack from 120K to about 272.5K.
