Gatto Tries to Trap Mendiola
Level 11
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Heads-up on a board of Q♣K♣8♦3♥, Carlos Mendiola bet 8,500 from the button before Fernando Gatto raised to 20,000 in middle position. Mendiola called, and the 9♦ fell on the river.
Gatto checked over to Mendiola, who this time checked back. Gatto then showed K♥K♠ for a set, and Mendiola mucked.
At another table, Hassan Sey was on the right side of an aces-versus-kings cooler to earn him a knockout and bring his stack up close to 200,000.
