Taveras Escapes On the River
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mike Dentale raised and then had two shorter stacks get their chips into the middle in Omar Taveras and Mario Damiao.
Mario Damiao: A♦9♥
Omar Taveras: A♠10♥
Mike Dentale: A♥J♠
"I am dead," Damiao said when he had the worst kicker.
The board ran out 5♦3♠2♥7♥10♣ and Taveras rivered the ten to more than double, while Damiao was eliminated.
"I mean, I raise a lot. They jam ace ten into one of my fifty raises," Dentale shrugged.
