Kick Off Event Bypasses Hand-for-hand
No need for an hour long hand-for-hand in the $100K GTD Kick Off Event.
In a single-raised multi-way pot with more than 125,000 in the middle, Sharon Kabilio moved all-in for 87,000 from UTG+2. Another player folded before Ahmed Khan moved all-in for 75,000 from the cutoff and Devaraj Munisekar called from the big blind. Munisekar had both players covered and flopped best.
Munisekar: 6♠6♣
Kabilio: J♠J♦ (all-in)
Khan: T♥T♦ (all-in)
Flop: 7♣6♥4♣
Munisekar had flopped a set of sixes while Kabilio and Khan had overpairs to the board. Kabilio and Khan went unimproved on the K♠ turn and 8♦ river.
Kabilio and Khan were eliminated on the money bubble. Munisekar's double elimination sent the remaining 63 players into the money.
