Noronha Spins it Up from Less Than One Big Blind

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

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 {a-Spades}{7-Spades} versus the {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} of Noronha. Final board of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} 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 {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} against the {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} of Shelly.

Noronha pointed at his cards saying, “Very dangerous.” The cards ran out {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} 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 {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. As we left the table he still had his jacket slung over hos shoulder ready to go, but you never know.
