Cunha Hero-Calls Into a Full House

Ollie Garland

Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gabriel Cunha raised from middle position, receiving calls from Vladimir Erceg and Aliaksandr Shylko on the button and in the big blind respectively.

The 6♠8♣8♦ flop saw the action check to Erceg, who bet out 80,000. Only Cunha called.

The 9♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Erceg sized up to 250,000.

The 6♣ river prompted one last check from Cunha. Erceg moved all in for Cunha's effective stack of 380,000 and Cunha elected to make the call.

Gabriel Cunha: A♥J♠ All in
Vladimir Erceg: A♠8♠

Cunha's ace-high hero call ran into the full house of Erceg, sending Cunha to the rail.
