Seyed Tabaei limped the 5,000 Big Blind from UTG. Rene Cifuentes moved all in for 31,000, and the decision eventually came to Aigars Petrovs in the Big Blind. Petrovs counted out Tabaei’s stack, and after spending perhaps two minutes in the tank, he moved all in. Despite being at risk, Tabaei snap-called.
Rene Cifuentes: A♦K♦
Aigars Petrovs: A♥9♦
Seyed Tabaei: K♠K♥
Tabaei was thrilled to see that his sneaky move had paid off, and it was even better for him that both of his opponents held an ace. He maintained his lead on the 4♥5♣9♥ flop. “One time!” he urged to the Poker Gods as Petrovs picked up a flush draw on the 3♥ turn.
Poker can be a brutal game. The A♣ river saw Petrovs improving to a two-pair, and considering he had both of his opponents covered, he scored a double elimination. The bubble is approaching at a rapid pace.
Aigars Petrovs: 400,000
Seyed Tabaei: 0
Rene Cifuentes: 0
