Navarro Arrocha Nets a Big Pot
Mario Navarro Arrocha had bought in at the start of play today with a stack of 30,000. He had already multiplied that several times over when his latest hand was caught.
He was battling with Viliyan Petleshkov over a 36,000 pot. The flop read A♦4♦7♥ and Petleshkov checked to Navarro Arrocha, who elected to bet 12,000. Petleshkov made the check-raise to 48,000 and Navarro Arrocha called after some delibiration.
The turn brought the 8♥ and Petleshkov now announced ''all-in'', for a pot-sized bet worth Navarro Arrocha's 129,000 stack. Navarro Arrocha snap called and the players showed their cards.
Mario Navarro Arrocha: A♠4♠
Viliyan Petleshkov: A♣K♠
Petleshkov flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no match for the the two pair of Navarro Arrocha. The river 3♠ bricked out and Navarro Arrocha scooped a huge pot of nearly 400,000. Meanwhile, Petleshkov was left with 20 big blinds
