Sanz Finds a Miracle Chop on the River

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Borja Urrea raised to 35,000 under the gun and Guillermo Sanz three-bet to 115,000 in the cutoff. Urrea called and went to turn his cards over before being told Sanz still had 15,000 behind.

The flop came A♣A♠3♣ and they quickly got the rest of Sanz's stack in the middle.

Guillermo Sanz: A♦J♥ All in
Borja Urrea: A♥2♥

Both players had flopped trips, but Sanz was ahead with his jack-kicker until the 2♠ fell on the turn to give Urrea a full house. The river was the 2♣ and Sanz started to get up from his seat, but the rest of the table alerted him that he had earned a chop with that river deuce.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 7♥K♣3♥, Borja Urrea bet 20,000 from the hijack and Giuliano Galliana raised to 60,000 in the big blind. Urrea then reraised to 120,000, and Galliana called.

The turn was the 4♣ and action paused at the table for a few minutes. The dealer eventually told Galliana it was his turn, but Galliana insisted he had already checked.

"He checked a while ago. It was subtle, but there was a tap," tablemate Stephen Song added. Action then went on Urrea who pushed the rest of his 550,000 in the middle, and Galliana quickly folded.

Urrea took the seat of the recently-departed Benny Glaser.

At another table, Fabrizio Fuchs and Anthony Smith exchanged raises until Fuchs was all in for 440,000 from early position as Smith had him at risk from middle position.

Fabrizio Fuchs: K♥K♦ All in
Anthony Smith: A♦K♠

Fuchs showed down a pair of kings and needed to avoid an ace to stay alive, and he successfully navigated the Q♠4♣9♣Q♣10♠ board to earn the double up.

More than 200,000 was in the middle as Stephen Song and Gergely Rona went to the turn on a board of 7♠2♦3♠9♣. Song then bet 160,000 from the big blind and Rona called on the button.

The river was the 4♠ and Song moved all in. Rona leaned back in his seat, let out a sigh, and eventually flicked in a chip to signify a call for his last 219,000.

Song showed 10♠10♥, but Rona had 7♥7♦ for a set to win the pot and earn the massive double up off the reigning EPT Barcelona champion.

The rest of Wouter Beltz's chips were being pushed over to Terrance Reid, who filled in the details after the hand.

Reid had opened to 24,000 under the gun and Beltz called in middle position. The flop came 2♠J♥10♣ and Reid continued for 23,000.

Beltz called to the 7♣ turn, where Reid bet another 57,000. Beltz again called, and the 5♠ fell on the river. Reid then moved all in, and Beltz called for 249,000.

Beltz turned over 8♦8♥, but Reid had A♦A♣ to win the pot and send Beltz to the rail while boosting his stack up to nearly 2,000,000.

Kevin Houghton moved all in for 135,000 in early position, and Martin Zamani called in the hijack. Alejandro Romero announced a reshove from the big blind, and Zamani didn't even wait for Romero to put in the chips before snap-calling for 255,000.

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Lucia Navarro put in her last 120,000 from middle position, Hendrik Sanhen reshoved for 190,000 in the big blind, while Lanir Itzchaki called to put both opponents at risk in the hijack.

Lucia Navarro: J♣10♣ All in
Hendrik Sanhen: A♠A♥ All in
Lanir Itzchaki: 10♥10♦

Sanhen had woken up with aces and was a favorite to scoop the entire pot as the flop came 2♣Q♠Q♣, giving Navarro some hope with a flush draw. The 8♣ turn gave her a flush, while the river was the 6♠. Navarro tripled up, while Sanhen took 70,000 off Itzchaki in the side pot.

Brock Wilson may have busted earlier, but his better half, Cherish Andrews, is still alive and well with a stack of 640,000 at this table.
