Cortes' Prayers Go Unanswered
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Luis Cortes open-jammed a stack of around 1,000,000 from early position and Efrim Erdinc called on the button before [Removed:526] three-bet jammed in the big blind to send Erdinc deep in the tank. Erdinc eventually folded to hang onto his remaining 2,700,000.
Luis Cortes: A♦8♦
[Removed:526]: A♥K♥
Cortes was dominated but got some help on the flop of 7♦Q♣9♦ that gave him a flush draw. He put his hands together in prayer and let out a sigh as the board finished out 4♠K♣ to mark his elimination.
