Geula's Ace-King Massacre
Biao Ding opened to 5,500 from early position only to be three-bet by Alex Condon to his left for 17,500. Then Erfan Geula in the cutoff decided to put in the cold four-bet to 44,000 and action folded back to Ding, who also decided to get out of the way. Condon then five-bet jammed for around 140,000 and Geula made the call to put him at risk.
Alex Condon: A?K?
Erfan Geula: A?K?
The players were highly likely to chop the pot, but not when the flop came out Q?7?J? to instantly flop Condon dead as Geula made the nut flush. The board completed with the meaningless 3?5? and Condon was sent to the rail early in the day.
"Well, at least it was a quick death," Condon sighed as he packed up his belongings and headed towards the exit as Geula stacked his new chips.
