Gagliano Getting Shorter

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

The player in the under-the-gun position raised and was called by the player in the cutoff, and Michael Gagliano and Naceim Qarmout in the blinds.

They all checked through the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop to the {9-Clubs} on the turn. Gagliano and Qarmout both check-called the 4,000 continuation0bet of the initial raiser while the cutoff folded.

The river completed the board with the {j-Spades}, Gagliano checked, Qarmout bet 13,000 and that was enough to pick up the pot.

The BorgataPoker.com Sponsored Pro was eliminated shortly after.

Furey Flops Set and Felts Zarco

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

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} all the chips went in and Javier Zarco tabled {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for top pair. He was at risk and way behind against Charles Furey's {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for middle set.

The {4-Spades} turn gave Furey a boat and left Zarco looking for one of two remaining nines. The {k-Clubs} on the river sealed his fate, for this buy-in at least. He was eliminated, but still has the option to re-enter.

Furey pulled the pot and is playing about 160,000
