Edgars Beizaks opened to 40,000 from the Button. Seated in the Small Blind, Konstantin Arber three-bet to 125,000. When action came back to Beizaks, he moved all in for perhaps 280,000. Arber made the call.
Edgars Beizaks: 7♥7♠
Konstantin Arber: A♣8♠
Beizaks took a firm grip as the flop came 7♣A♦6♦, and Arber wasn’t able to catch up as the board completed with 8♦5♦. Arber was now down to 15,000; less than one Big Blind. A few hands later, he got it in with J♣10♦ against the A♠7♥ of Pekka Ikonen. He managed to survive the clash, as the J♦5♥7♠J♠A♣ board favored him.
Then, a few hands later, Beizaks opened to 40,000 UTG. Once again, Arber moved all in, this time for 95,000. Then, out of the blue, Arunas Satkus raised to 170,000. This was big enough to force a fold from Beizaks, who claimed he threw away ace-king.
Konstantin Arber: K♥Q♠
Arunas Satkus: A♥A♣
Surely this would be the end for Arber? Nope! He hit trips on the Q♣Q♦J♦ flop, and he never looked back as the board completed with 6♥3♠. He is still alive in the tournament, now playing just shy of 200,000.
