Khorshad Sagor Picks Up Aces Again

Khorshad Sagor

In a battle of the blinds between Khorshad Sagor and Peter Kiem, the latter bets small once and then leads the K♠ 5♥ 2♣ Q♥ 4♠ river for 425,000. Kiem calls and Sagor flips over A♦ A♠ much to the bemusement of the table, as everyone chuckles.

It is the third time Sagor picks up aces in the first level today, winning with two of them including a big double.

"I lost the minimum, I had a king," Kiem mentions.

Aces Then Kings Then Aces: Khorshad Sagor Finally Has a Top-Tier Hand Hold Up and Doubles Thru Yita Choong

Chipleader Yita Choong raises from the hijack to 250,000, Khorshad Sagor moves all in from the small blind for 2,660,000, and Choong thinks for a bit before he calls with A♥ Q♣ .

After having pocket aces and pocket kings the two previous hands, Sagor turns over -- A♦ A♥ .

But Sagor's premium hands have lost the previous two pots, so his demeanor with the aces is a little more subdued than it otherwise might be.

There is queen in the window as the flop comes K♥ Q♠ 5♥ , giving Choong some outs to crack Sagor's aces.

The turn card pairs the board with the 5♣ , and Choong needs a queen on the river.

The river card is the 9♣ , and the aces hold up for Sagor to win the pot and double up in chips. Thankfully for Sagor, his premium hand held up in the biggest and most important pot of the three.

Khorshad Sagor Gets Two Jams Through

Khorshad Sagor

Three ways to the A♦ Q♠ T♠ 2♦ turn, Marius Kudzmanas bets 275,000. Khorshad Sagor moves all-in from the next seat and Kaifan Wang folds, as does Kudzmanas.

One hand later, Kudzmanas pushes for 505,000 and scoops the blinds.

Sagor limps the next hand and Manuel Carvalho raises to 370,000. It folds back to Sagor, who jams for 1,350,000. Carvalho can all but laugh and sigh-folds after asking for an exact count.

Zhao turns over A♠ Q♣ , and he needs to improve to stay alive against Sagor's A♣ K♠ .

The board comes J♥ 2♥ 2♣ 9♠ A♦ , and Sagor wins the pot with two pair, aces and deuces with a king kicker, to eliminate Zhao in 37th place.

Armon van Wijk Doubles Thru Neng Zhao

Armon van Wijk

Neng Zhao loudly screams "hoooollldddd" when he attempts to knock out his table neighbour Armon van Wijk in a flip with J♥ J♦ versus A♥ Q♥ .

The A♠ 9♠ 3♣ K♣ 7♥ board provides the ace and Zhao falls silent.

"I am a monkey, monkeys always win," van Wijk clarifies and then adds "you actually had a real hand ... I thought you were full of shit."

Also involved in the hand was Manuel Carvalho, who had folded preflop.
