Ballestero Denied a Bubble Double
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to David Ballestero in the small blind who raised to 70,000, leaving himself just one red 5,000 chip behind. Adria Gabarro in the big blind then moved all in and Ballestero ensured the hands were complete on the other tables before calling.
David Ballestero: A♦Q♦
Adria Gabarro: A♥9♣
Ballestero had Gabarro dominated and was poised for a double up as the board came 2♣2♥K♠3♥. The river, though, brought the [h] and the two players chopped the pot with kings and deuces, ace-kicker.
