Iakobishvili Running Good in Flops
Heads-up on a flop of 2?2?8?, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 17,000 from the big blind and Gha Iakobishvili called on the button.
"I won 12," Iakobishvili called over to Albert Daher as they headed to the 8? turn.
"You won five," Daher yelled back as his own flop contained two red cards. "I don't know when I'm going to win."
Both Iakobishvili and Ponakovs checked to the 10? river, where Ponakovs won the pot with a bet of 20,000.
"You're going to win first place, don't worry. But you're going to lose all the money in flips," Iakobishvili told Daher.
Daniel Rezaei then bet 8,000 on a flop of 3?8?Q? and Iakobishvili called on the button. Both players checked the 7? turn.
The river came the 2? and Iakobishvili bet 25,000. "It's hard for you to have two red cards," Rezaei said as he tossed in a call.
"I have jack-eight," Iakobishvili said, showing J?8? as Rezaei mucked.
