Top Dollar Doubles His Chances
Paul Newey moved all-in over the top of Sam Greenwood’s raise to 80,000 with [Ac9h] and Greenwood’s fold with [Ad9d] was agonising.
Cary Katz had called Greenwood already with [JsTs] so invested the extra. The board of [2h5d3c] saw Newey become a 3:1 favorite and that improved after the [Qd] turn. He survived through the [Ks] river and Newey got the full double-up.
We still have six, with stacks looking shallow and blinds up.

Greenwood Doubles Through Soverel
Sam Greenwood moved all-in pre-flop with [Ah3s] from the hijack and in the next seat, Sam Soverel decided to re-shove with [AdTs], successfully isolating the field.
Soverel was a huge favorite to bust a dangerous opponent just 30 minutes into the action.
The flop of [2c3hQs] saw a yelp of “Oh no!” come from a table neighbour of the two Sams and the [7s] turn kept Greenwood ahead.
“It’s bad news for anyone but Sam!” came another shout.
Only a ten would send Greenwood home, and the [6c] river meant Greenwood doubled up to 800,000 chips. He and the three players beneath him in the counts have less than 20 big blinds.

Soverel Doesn’t Let Badziakouski Have it Easy
Sam Soverel moved all-in with [Ac4d] for 1.5million on the button and Mikita Badziakouski went into the tank in the big blind. Cary Katz got out of the way between the two men.
After using time bank extensions, and clearly wrestling with a very marginal decision and eventually elected to fold away the better hand, [Ad7h], and save his remaining 435,000 for another hand.

Cary Katz Calls it Cold
After a flop of [6h8sTc], Cary Katz bet 100,000 on the turn of [4c] and was called by Elio Fox.
While Katz had jack-ten, Fox had an eight, and on the river of [8d], Fox turned the tables and bet out 205,000.
“I did not want to see an eight!” stated Katz, smiling. “Anything but an eight.”
After a couple of minutes, Katz made the fold his read demanded and escaped paying out even more to Fox. A great read and money saved in money earned.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Elio Fox | 1,140,000 |
135,000 |
| Cary Katz | 670,000 |
