Terrazas Gets Jiggy

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Santiago Terrazas raised under the gun and Tome Moreira made the call.

Flop: {3-Spades}

Terrazas bet out, and Moreira called.

Turn: {A-Clubs}

Again, Terrazas bet out to the tune of 85,000. Once more, Moreira, made the call.

River: {4-Clubs}

Now Terrazas announced all in for his last 225,000. Moreira looked very unhappy. He disappeared into the tank, waving his {A-Hearts}

around in such a manner that everyone except Terrazas could see it. After some minutes of this, he passed. Terrazas flashed him the {A-Diamonds}

, which probably didn't make Moreira feel any better.

Terrazas - 530,000
Moreira - 260,000

Matias Gets There Again

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andrei Vlasenko raised in the cutoff and got himself called by both Jan Skampa (button) and Antonio Matias (small blind).

They saw a {4-Diamonds}

flop and Matias bet out 78,000; both his opponents promptly folded. Matias showed them {4-Clubs}

for their pains.

Matias Gets There on the River

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Antonio Matias in the small blind bet out 35,000 on the {9-Spades}

and Jude Ainsworth called behind.

They proceeded to check down the {5-Hearts}

turn and

river, before Ainsworth announced, "Nine is good," flipping {8-Clubs}

. There followed a wry chuckle as Matias flipped {A-Hearts}

to take the pot.

Gino Gabriel opened to 26,000 in middle position, and Jeff Sarwer called in the middle. A few seats over, Ruben Visser squeezed in a raise to 88,000, and it came right back to Gabriel. After a moment, he announced an all in for 260,000 total. Sarwer quickly ducked out, but Visser made the call with the covering stack.

Showdown
Gabriel: {Q-Clubs}

Visser:

The flop nearly locked it up for Gabriel as it came out {9-Clubs}

. Top set was going to be hard to beat, and the {3-Spades}

on the turn ended the hand right here. A useless {J-Diamonds}

fell on the river as Visser was already passing the chips across the table.

After that exchange, Visser is down to 302,000, doubling Gabriel up to about 560,000.
