Amador Puts on a Show

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Danilo Donnini in the big blind and Joao Amador in the hijack were heads up in a pot worth 15,000. Donnini fired a bet of 7,300 on the Q104 flop, and Amador called.

The 3 turn was then checked through to the J river, where Donnini reaggressed with a bet of 16,800.

Amador spent a few minutes in the tank, cutting out calling chips before moving all in. Donnini immediately folded his cards, and the pot was shipped to Amador without showdown.

Aces for Palmer, Hanouna Left Short

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was joined as Stefano Palma was all in and at risk versus Igaal Hanouna.

Stefano Palma: AA All in
Igaal Hanouna: AK

The 534 flop brought some chop opportunities, and the K turn even gave Hanouna some ways to win.

Alas, the 10 river was safe for Palma's pocket aces, and he pulled in a double up.
