Shmuel Snir Bechor Eliminated in 42nd Place ($12,200) by Kevin Ewald

Feb 22, 2025

Ankit Ahuja had previously won a healthy pot by betting out Yukako Hiroi. She then jams over the top of the short stack all-in of Shmuel Snir Bechor, who is at risk for 101,000 only.

Kevin Ewald in the blinds happily calls all-in for 717,000 as he has the Heart ADiamond A.

Bechor with the Club ASpade K and Hiroi with Spade AHeart K need a lot of help. They actually have the chance for an unlikely chop after the Heart JClub 5Spade 4Diamond 3 turn but the wheel never completes, instead it is the Club 9 that follows on the river.

After the hand is over, Hiroi asks if she should have just called the first all-in preflop. The answer from several players is yes, but as Michael Gathy points out “you just saved time”, referring to the likely call of Ewald’s reshove.

Ankit Ahuja – 1,995,000 (133 bb)
Kevin Ewald – 1,550,000 (103 bb)
Yoon Kang – 1,295,000 (86 bb)
Hugues Girard – 705,000 (47 bb)
Michael Gathy – 700,000 (47 bb)
Yukako Hiroi – 700,000 (47 bb)
