Knapp Delivers the Double Knockout in a Massive Five-Way Pot
According to the players, action started with a limp by Ulla Winkler under the gun for 800, which got raised by Kristen Imsirovic in early position - she made it 2,500. This was called by the player in middle position. Anastasia Knapp was in late position and four-bet to 9,500, which was first cold-called by Myagmarsuren Rock in the hijack. Action then folded to the player in the small blind, who called all-in for 7,000. Winkler folded, Imsirovic called, as did the player in middle position.
It was five ways to the K?7?3? flop with one player all in. Imsirovic and middle position both checked. Knapp bet 15,000. Imsirovic folded and the player in middle position called. Rock folded as well.
The turn was 3x, pairing the board. Middle position checked, Knapp bet 20,000. Middle position raised to 65,000. Knapp four-bet shoved and got snap-called.
Small blind: AxJx
Middle position: A?4?
Anastasia Knapp: 7x7x
The middle-position player was holding the ace-high flush, but Knapp had both of her all-in opponents drawing dead on the turn and raked in a massive pot to give her the likely tournament chip lead.
Rock later said that she folded pocket queens on the flop, while Elizabeth Huey folded the very same hand preflop.
