"Always the Israeli:" Koko Cracks Aces to Bust Demlakian
An early position player opened to 500 and Yonatan Koko called in middle position before two players called behind him. Ken Demlakian three-bet out of the small blind and only Koko called.
"Always the Israeli!" laughed Demlakian. "When there's a murder, they always say it's the husband or the butler. But here, it's always the Israeli!"
Demlakian checked on the 9♠Q♣2♦ flop and Koko bet 2,000. Demlakian called and as he did so, asked his opponent how he got "that bump on your nose."
"You want to know the truth?" asked Koko. "It happened today. I was looking at Google Maps and walked into a pole."
As this conversation took place, Demlakian checked again on the 3♣ turn and Koko bet 4,000. The conversation died down as Demlakian check-raised all in to send Koko into the tank.
"You had enough of the game? I think you've had enough of the game," Koko said before making the call with his opponent covered.
Ken Demlakian: A♥A♦
Yonatan Koko: Q♦10♦
Demlakian was ahead with aces but that changed when the dealer put down the 10♣ on the river to give Koko two pair to mark the Australian's elimination.
"He said it's always the Israeli!" Koko said after his opponent left.
