Pelletier's Ladies Send Freitas Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Hugo Freitas shoved his short stack into the middle from under the gun and was called by Tony Pelletier in middle position to be put at risk.

Hugo Freitas: K♠J♥ All in
Tony Pelletier: Q♥Q♦

Freitas would need some help, but the 8♣4♠7♥6♣Q♣ runout needlessly improved Pelletier to a set of queens — eliminating Freitas late in the evening.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Loris Corbelli opened to 4,000 from middle position and Jason Metz three-bet to 10,000 from the cutoff. It was folded back to Corbelli, who called.

Both players checked on the 10♦8♠6♣ flop and then Corbelli bet 6,000 after the A♦ landed on the turn. Metz studied Corbelli for a bit and made the call.

The 3♠ filled the river and Corbelli bet 12,000. Metz tossed KxQx into the muck face up and Corbelli was sent the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in middle position opened to 4,000 and was called by the player in the cutoff. Yossi Hergan then shoved for approximately 30,000 on the button. The initial raiser called to put Hergan at risk and the cutoff folded.

Yossi Hergan: A♠K♦ All in
Opponent: A♣Q♥

The board ran out 6♦7♥6♣3♠10♦ — keeping Hergan best with his king kicker and awarding him the double up.

Rolli Ends Pral's Run

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

Fabian Rolli opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Florian Pral shoved for his last 19,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Rolli, who called to put Pral at risk.

Florian Pral: A♦K♣ All in
Fabian Rolli: J♠J♥

It was a fair fight, but the 2♣5♦J♣ flop improved Rolli to a set of jacks and left Pral drawing to runner-runner.

The 2♠ turn left Pral drawing dead and an irrelevant 3♣ completed the board to make Pral's elimination official.

Metz Shows a Bluff

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

Jason Metz was heads-up from early position against the player on the button on a flop of A♥J♥7♥ with approximately 30,000 already in the middle.

Metz checked to the button, who bet 22,000. Metz then check-raised to 44,000, sending his opponent deep into the tank.

The button eventually folded A♠K♠ face up and Metz returned the favor by tabling Q♠10♠ for a naked gutshot before collecting the pot.

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

Loris Corbelli opened from middle position and Guillermo Gordo three-bet to 10,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Corbelli, who called.

Corbelli check-called a 6,000 bet from Gordo on the A♥9♣4♥ flop and then both players checked on the 4♦ turn.

The 7♦ completed the board and Corbelli checked a final time — prompting a 15,000 bet from Gordo. Corbelli slid his hand into the muck and Gordo dragged the pot.

Guillermo Gordo	260,000
