Kolev Runs Into Leal Moreno's Trips

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A few hands after Brandon Leetz doubled up at this table, Gonzalo Leal Moreno and Boris Kolev would tangle in another all-in pot.

Leal Moreno bet 5,000 on a flop of J♦J♥2♦ and Kolev then raised to 10,500 in the cutoff. Leal Moreno called from the big blind and the K♦ fell on the turn.

Kolev then bet another 6,000 and Leal Moreno raised enough to put him all in. Kolev called off his last 20,000 with A♣K♥, but Leal Moreno had J♠8♦ for trip jacks.

The river came the Q♥ and Kolev was sent to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Gonzalo Leal Moreno raised to 3,000 in the cutoff before Brandon Leetz moved all in for 32,500 on the button. Samir Moukawem then reshoved in the small blind and Leal Moreno folded.

Brandon Leetz: 4♠4♦
Samir Moukawem: A♥K♥

Moukawem was looking to win the race to score the knockout but couldn't connect with the Q♣7♦2♣5♣9♣ board. He flung his arms in the air in frustration and angrily tossed his cards back to the dealer while Leetz scooped in a double up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

From middle position, Marle Spragg opened to 3,500, and was only called by Giorgiy Skhuluhiya on the button.

The flop 2♣3♥A♥ was quickly checked by both players to move on to the turn 9♥, where Spragg decided to bet 5,500. She was called by Skhuluhiya.

Finally, on the river 5♦, Spragg asked for 7,500 chips. But in front of her, Skhuluhiya moved all in with a bigger stack. Facing a decision, Spragg eventually folded.

Heads-up on a board of 4♠J♠K♦10♦, Rachid El Yaacoubi bet 8,500 from middle position before Mihai Niste raised to 22,000 on the button.

El Yaacoubi called to see the A♣ river and checked. Niste checked back and El Yaacoubi turned over 4♥4♦ for a flopped set.
