Belasic Doubles Through McLaughlin

Matthew Pitt

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Marc-Etienne McLaughlin was first to act from his seat in the cutoff position and he raised to 4,800. Tom Belasic was next to act on the button and he put in a raise of his own and made it 13,200 to go. After much deliberation, McLaughlin called.

The dealer spread the flop and McLaughlin checked. Belasic fired a bet of 8,000 only to see McLauhlin move all-in. Belasic instantly called.

McLaughlin:

Belasic was ahead with his pocket aces, but needed to avoid a spade in order to stay in the tournament. The turn was the and the river a safe and with that Belasic doubled to 120,000. McLaughlin is still in good shape with 128,000 chips available to him.

Matthew Pitt

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Big stacks Asi Moshe and Mark Schmid have clashed a couple of times recently, with Schmid coming off the better of the two from their confrontations.

Schmid opened to 5,000 in late position, Moshe three-bet to 14,000 from the hijack seat and Schmid called. The first three community cards fell and Schmid check-called a bet of 15,500 from Moshe. That was the last of the betting action because both players checked the turn and river.

Schmid won with his when Moshe mucked.

Asi Moshe	193,000 -71,000	-71,000

Mark Schmid	190,000 89,800	89,800
