Santoro Makes a Huge Call

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Parx Big Stax 31 1100 Day 1a
Parx Big Stax 31 1100 Day 1a

On a {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Luigi Santoro was in middle position and facing a shove from a player on the button. The shove was worth about 33,000, the size of the pot. Santoro didn't cover by much but he stuck in his chips anyway and showed {a-Spades}{5-Spades}. It was good as his opponent had {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"Queen or ten!" the all in player urged, and he got his wish right away with the {q-Spades}.

However, Santoro was the one pumping his fist when the {4-Spades} completed the board to give him a flush, leaving the disbelieving player wondering how he got called but offering a fist bump anyway.

Kordys Picks Off a Bluff

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

We found Rafal Kordys in middle position facing an overbet on {7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades} against a player in the cutoff. The cutoff had piled in 28,000 into about 18,000 and Kordys thought awhile then slid in the required amount.

The cutoff showed {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a bluff and Kordys took it with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for trips.

Ibrahim Doubles Through MacKinnon

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Patrick Ibrahim
Patrick Ibrahim

We found DJ MacKinnon facing an all-in shove by Patrick Ibrahim on the river. The board read {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Ibrahim's shove was worth about 31,000, with the pot a little over 40,000. MacKinnon muttered to himself and shook his head, then slid in enough to call the jam.

Ibrahim showed {k-}{k-} and MacKinnon flicked his cards indicate a muck. The dealer instructed him to show and he flashed what looked like {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Colache Busted

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Renata Colache got her last 15,000 or so in with {k-}{k-} against a player holding {8-}{8-}. Unfortunately for Colache, the flop brought {q-}{q-}{8-} to give her opponent a boat, and the turn and river bricked off to avoid giving her a better full house.
