Noronha Spins it Up from Less Than One Big Blind
Jose Noronha from Portugal was all in for 1,500, less than one big blind. Dario Sammartino in the big blind got it heads up by sticking in a raise and he got his showdown with 
versus the 
of Noronha. Final board of 
and Noronha trips gave him 8,800.
On the next hand Noronha started putting all his chips over the line, but it was a string bet and was ruled a call. Conor Shelly in the big blind did him a favour by raising and Noronha moved all in with his 
against the 
of Shelly.
Noronha pointed at his cards saying, “Very dangerous.” The cards ran out 
flopping him a flush and doubling up again.
Noronha was under-the-gun next hand and clearly announced, “All in.” No callers and he showed 
. As we left the table he still had his jacket slung over hos shoulder ready to go, but you never know.
