Ohel's Good Hand Eliminates Marius-Co's Good Hand (With Bonus Commentary)
Randy Ohel called a late position player's raise of 7,000 from the button. Nstantin Iftimia Marius-Co, the big blind, moved all in for 155,000. Ohel called, and the cards were turned over.
Nstantin Iftimia Marius-Co: A?Q?
Randy Ohel: 9?9?
The monotone K?3?4? flop most benefitted Ohel, who was the only one holding a spade. The flush completed on the 2? turn, and Marius-Co exited the tournament after the meaningless K? river.
"Good game," Ohel told Marius-Co.
Andy Frankenberger, also at the table, joined Ohel to provide analysis to PokerNews after the hand.
"I think it threw him off when I asked for a count," said Ohel. "I told him 'I called with a good hand. I wish it was a really good hand.'"
"His opponent said 'I also have a good hand,'" added Frankenberger. "I think Randy read into that. I figured he was begging for a call with ace-king."
