Big Pot for Amsellem as Schuh Exits and Daci Regrets
Just shy of the bubble, a pivotal hand unfolded. Arjel Daci opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from middle position. Robin Gerard, sitting in the cutoff, deliberated before calling. The action folded to Jacob Amsellem in the big blind, who responded with a hefty three-bet to 34,000. Daci made the call, putting the pressure back on Gerard.
After careful consideration, Gerard moved all in for 109,000. Amsellem, without much hesitation, raised again to 220,000, isolating the pot. Daci asked Amsellem how much he had behind, prompting Amsellem to neatly display his stack. After a moment of thought, Daci folded, and the cards were tabled:
Robin Gerard: A♥K♥
Jacob Amsellem: K♠K♣
Gerard needed help from the board and found a glimmer of hope with the flop of 8♥Q♦6♥, giving him a flush draw. However, the turn 5♠ and river 7♣ offered no heart or ace, eliminating Gerard just short of the money.
As Gerard exited, Daci shook his head, lamenting what could have been..
