Moritz Scores Full Double

Jacob Wilson

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of 6♦3♦8♣ with 8,600 in the middle. Small blind BetMGM Qualifier Jonathan Moritz bet out for 7,500, and was called by early position opener Matthew Costanzo.

The 3♥ fell on the turn, and Moritz swiftly moved all in, with an overbet of 32,500. Costanzo thought for quite a long time, before eventually sticking in calling chips.

Jonathan Moritz: Q♠Q♥ All in
Matthew Costanzo: 9♣9♥

Costanzo couldn't find a two-outer, and was left with just 5,300 following the 5♦ river. He busted shortly after, and has since re-entered.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading 5♣9♥10♣9♦4♣. There was 20,500 in the middle, and the pot was contested between big blind David Pelosi, and late position Michael Hermoza.

Pelosi had led out for 15,000, and Hermoza was clearly in pain regarding the decision he had to make. After quite some thinking, he stuck in the call, and his A♦A♣ won the pot against his opponent's 10♦5♦ for a counterfeited two pair.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Matt Salsberg opened to 600 under the gun, and Krishna Rambharose flatted the bet to his left. Alex Queen called from the small blind, as did Bruce Yamron from the big.

Queen then led out for 600 on the 5♦3♦9♥ flop, and received calls from all three of his opponents. The 10♦ turn checked over to Rambharose, and he threw 2,200 into the middle. Queen then check-raised to 8,000 and action folded to Rambharose.

He took quite a while, and took inventory whilst rechecking his cards. Eventually, he let them go.
