Cortes the Killer
First in from the cutoff, Andrea Dato opened to 12,000, and Jesus Cortes three-bet shoved for 168,000 total. It slowly folded back around to Dato, but he snap-called and insta-tabled 
. Dominated and suit-dominated, Cortes' 
needed some help in a hurry.
And help arrived. The 
flop was a disaster for Dato, and he let out a quiet grumble. The turn 
and river 
were blanks, and Cortes has found his unlikely double. After paying off the debt, Dato is left with just 6,500 lonely chips.
