2017 Isle Classic | Event #10
$360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 9 (Blinds 400/800/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 59
Since being featured earlier in the flight, Ido Ashkenazi (Davie, FL) had been eliminated from play on two separate occasions. He's hoping that the third time is a charm, as he doubled-up moments ago, just a few hands into Level 9. After Matthew Zarcadoolas opened to 1,600, Zaki Lichaa (Staten Island, NY) was next to act, and he'd three-bet to 6,600. Ido Ashkenazi flatted the three-bet, and after players folded back around to Zarcadoolas, he would release his hand. That would leave Lichaa the first to act in the heads-up hand, and he'd shove 15,100 even before the flop came out.
Once the dealer fanned out the A♥ 10♠ 8♣ flop, Ido quickly made the call, watching as Zaki turned over A♠ K♦. While a strong hand, he'd be behind the 8♥ 8♠ of Ashkenazi, who flopped bottom set. The turn would pair the board (10♣), which gave Lichaa a tiny bit more hope. The river brought the K♥, which was of no significance to Zaki, who would be left with just 1,800 after the hand. Lichaa was then eliminated two hands later, with no signs of re-entering this flight in his future.
Ido Ashkenazi - 48,000 (60bb)
