Beltz Turns the Winner

Josh Noy

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Wouter Beltz opened to 12,000 from the cutoff before Luis Gutierrez slid in a three-bet to 44,000 on his left. Action folded back around to Beltz, who called to see the 9x8x6x flop.

Beltz checked and Gutierrez continued for 30,000. The Dutchman then announced a raise to 85,000, only to see Gutierrez fire back for approximately 155,000. Beltz decided to four-bet all in for 383,000, which Gutierrez snap-called.

Wouter Beltz: 7x7x
Luis Gutierrez: 8x8x

Beltz revealed an open-ended straight draw but found himself up against middle set. The 10x turn completed the straight for Beltz before a blank on the river assured him the double up.

Maksim Vaskresenski opened to 17,000 in the hijack and Michael Uguccioni three-bet to 50,000 from the cutoff before Pedro Cavalieri four-bet to 100,000 on the button.

Vaskresenski folded and Uguccioni five-bet to 250,000, leading Cavalieri to six-bet jam a stack of around 300,000. Uguccioni called with a bigger stack.

Pedro Cavalieri: A♥A♣
Michael Uguccioni: J♠J♣

Uguccioni had run into aces and there would be no suck-out as the board ran out 7♥6♦4♣3♥7♦ to earn him the double.

Boutaleb Calls Ramos Light

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Djamal Boutaleb raised to 17,000 from under the gun and was called by Dennys Ramos in the hijack for a heads-up pot.

Boutaleb continued for 10,000 on the 3♠J♣K♣ flop and Ramos called.

The 7♥ fell on the turn and Boutaleb bet once more — this time for 31,000. Ramos again called.

Boutaleb slowed down and checked on the 3♣ river and Ramos slid a hefty 115,000 bet into the middle. Boutaleb thought a while before calling and Ramos turned over A♣Q♣ for a flush.

Boutaleb showed he held 4♦4♠, seemingly unaware Ramos had made a flush until it was pointed out to him, and Ramos was sent the pot.
