dsalituro

Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Timothy Capretta moved all in for 310,000 from the cutoff and John Gravagna snap called in the big blind.

Timothy Capretta: A♥9♦
John Gravagna: 9♠9♥

Capretta was behind but spiked an ace on the A♣K♣8♠ flop to take the lead in the pot. The board ran out 5♣A♦ and Capretta finished with trips to double up.

A few hands later, Gravagna pushed forward 275,000 from the button, leaving himself just a single chip behind. Josh Palmer then reshoved, and Gravagna checked to see if there was a pay jump approaching before calling.

John Gravagna: A♠Q♠
Josh Palmer: A♦Q♦

Both players had the same hand and appeared headed for a chop until the 4♦J♦5♦ flop gave Palmer the nut flush. Gravagna was already drawing dead as the board ran out 6♣3♣.

"How does that happen? I never take a picture, but I have to take a picture of this one," Gravagna said as he snapped a photo of the board before heading for the exit.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Michael Vela in the small blind who moved all in for 210,000. John Riordan in the big blind called to put him at risk.

Michael Vela: J♠5♠
John Riordan: 3♦2♦

Riordan paired his three on the 3♠A♠K♦ flop while Vela had a flush draw. The 6♥ turn didn't help Vela, and neither did the 2♣ river as Riordan made two pair.

"What the f**k, two-three," Vela said as he pretended to wrestle with Riordan after the hand before collecting the payout slip.

dsalituro

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle and 320,000 already in the pot, Wan-Jhen Song bet 110,000 on a flop of 8♥10♣A♥ before David McGowan raised to 225,000.

Song called to the K♦ turn, where McGowan tanked for a moment before announcing he was all in. Song, with around 650,000 remaining, then tanked for several minutes until the clock was called.

The floor began the countdown before Song put in a chip to signify a call. She showed A♠Q♠ for top pair, but McGowan had 8♠8♦ for a set.

Song was already drawing dead as the 2♠ fell on the river as McGowan raked in the massive pot.
