Varela Gets Kings Cracked
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Santiago Varela opened to 10,000 in middle position and Peter Tordai three-bet to 26,000 from the next seat before [Removed:568] four-bet to 57,000 in the big blind. Varela five-bet jammed a stack of 74,000 and Tordai and Salah both called.
Salah checked on the 8♠10♠9♥ flop and Tordai moved all in. Salah folded and the cards were flipped.
Santiago Varela: K♥K♣
Peter Tordai: 9♣9♠
Tordai had taken a big lead with a set of nines and Varela couldn't improve as the board ran out 6♣10♦ to mark his elimination with the money bubble approaching.
