Tavares Takes a Seat, Immediately Gets Shoved On
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Gabriel Tavares was the latest addition to the field, and on one of his first hands he and Viacheslav Balaev went heads-up to a flop of 10♠10♦2♦. Balaev then bet 7,000 from the hijack, Tavares raised to 26,000 in the big blind, and Balaev called.
Tavares led out for 50,000 on the 4♣ turn, and Balaev moved all in. Tavares quickly folded and used his winner showdown card as Balaev showed Q♠10♣ while taking in the pot.
