Pedro Garagnani open-shoved from middle position for his last 11,000 and Timothy Adams raised to 26,000. Thomas Muehloecker four-bet to 66,000 and action folded back to Adams, who shoved with Muehloecker covered. It was a quick call for Muehloecker's 475,000 and all three hands were turned up with Garagnani and Muehloecker at risk.
Pedro Garagnani:
Thomas Muehloecker:
Timothy Adams:
The flop came and Garagnani flopped aces and jacks but needed to sweat a heart.
The turn was and the river , giving Garagnani the main pot for a triple. Adams had a pair of aces to best Muehloecker's queens and send him to the rail.
Juan Pardo raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Thomas Muehloecker shoved for 225,000 from the small blind. Pardo quickly called and action was heads up with Muehloecker at risk.
Thomas Muehloecker:
Juan Pardo:
The board ran out and the river diamond brought flush to give Muehloecker the double.
On a turn, Mustapha Kanit checked to Mike Watson who bet 72,000 into a pot of around 140,000.
Kanit then check-raised all in for 176,000 and Watson called.
Mustapha Kanit:
Mike Watson:
Watson would need his top pair to hold, with his flush draw blocking some of Kanit's outs. That didn't matter, however, as the river completed the Italian's straight to double up.
