Fontan Falls Short of the Money in Cruel Fashion

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jesus Ramos raised to 12,000 in early position and Guillermo Fontan moved all in for 98,000 in the small blind. Ramos called, and Fontan immediately took out his phone and began filming the action.

Guillermo Fontan: A♦A♥ All in
Jesus Ramos: 8♠8♣

Fontan had found two aces and was the favorite to double up, but the Q♦J♠8♥ flop gave Ramos a set and the lead. The K♦ turn gave Fontan more outs with a straight draw, but he missed the 5♦ river.

"Good game, buddy," Ramos told him as Fontan made his exit a few spots short of the money.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Terry Grant raised to 12,000 on the button and Ernst Soederkvist called in the small blind. Andrew Mackenzie then moved all in for 101,000 in the big blind and Grant folded, but Soederkvist called to put Mackenzie at risk.

Andrew Mackenzie: 8♥8♠ All in
Ernst Soederkvist: 6♥6♦

Mackenzie had Soederkvist dominated and was poised for a double up until the flop brought 6♣5♥4♦ to give Soederkvist a set. The rest of the board ran out 5♣2♠ and Soederkvist improved to a full house to secure the pot and send Mackenzie to the rail.

At another table, Cristian Herberth had shoved for 72,000 in the hijack and Jack Hardcastle called on the button.

Cristian Herberth: K♦Q♦ All in
Jack Hardcastle: A♥J♥

Herberth picked up a flush draw on the 8♠7♣2♦6♦ flop, but he missed the 10♣ river and Hardcastle remained in the lead with his ace to earn the knockout.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mariusz Czech moved all in for 110,000 in early position, James Mclean reshoved in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

James Mclean: K♦K♠

"Seven!" Czech yelled out as he began filming the action with his phone. The A♦8♠3♣ flop was no help, while the turn was the 5♦. "Seven!" he repeated, but he again missed the Q♠ river and reached across the table to shake Mclean's hand before making his exit.
