Ace-Queen Brings Little Joy for Micallef
Matthew Micallef opened to 20,000 from the cutoff before Matas Cimbolas three-bet to 75,000 from the small blind. Micallef jammed as the bigger stack and Cimbolas snap-called for his stack of 299,000.
Matas Cimbolas: 9♣9♥
Matthew Micallef: A♠Q♣
Cimbolas spiked a set on the 10♠9♠2♣ flop, and sealed the checkmark on the 7♣ turn, ahead of the 3♠ river.
On the next deal, Ben Zech raised to 20,000 from early position. Tudor Zapsa reraised to 50,000 from the next seat over and then Micalleff put in his last 88,000 from the hijack. Zech folded and then Zapsa put in the calling chips.
Matthew Micallef: A♣Q♦
Tudor Zapsa: A♠10♥
Things went from bad to worse for Micallef as the 10♦ was in the window, followed by the 8♥5♥. HIs three-outer failed to come in and he was eliminated after the board completed with the 9♣2♦.
