Derwiche Gets a Shove Through; Mendes Felts Reichenstein
Level 11
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Imad Derwiche raised to 3,500 from middle position and Johnny Mendes called from the big blind. The flop was 10?8?7? and Mendes checked. Derwiche shoved the rest of his short stack for around 20,000 and Mendes gave it a moment of thought. It was too much and Mendes gave up the pot.
Action was heads up on a nearby table with around 30,000 in the pot and K?K?3?A? on the board. Kyle Cheong bet 10,500 from the big blind and Uri Reichenstein called from the cutoff. The river was 7? and Cheong slid out 50,000 to cover the rest of Reichenstein's chips. Reichenstein called for the rest of his stack and turned over A?J?, but Cheong had A?Q? to take the pot with a pair of aces and a better kicker.
