Ray Cuny
Ray Cuny

From middle position, Adrian Mateos raised to 9,000. Ray Cuny, who was just moved to the table and playing his first hand, made the call from the cutoff seat. Everyone else folded, and the dealer fanned the {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop. Mateos checked, Cuny bet 19,000, and Mateos called.

The {7-Diamonds} on the turn paired the board, both players checked, and then the {9-Clubs} completed it. Mateos checked again, Cuny bet 20,000, and Mateos called.

Cuny showed a straight with the {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and Mateos mucked.

Gomez Moves Ahead

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Javier Gomez
Javier Gomez

2015 WPT Prague Champion Javier Gomez has vaulted into the chip lead here, on over 700,000 now.

The big hand that got him there started with the cutoff making it 8,000, and Gomez three-betting out of the small blind to 25,000. The cutoff called, and Gomez led around 30,000 into the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-} flop. The cutoff called again, and the turn came an offsuit {7-}.

Gomez fired again, making it 72,000 and the cutoff called. Finally, on the offsuit {6-} river, Gomez jammed for around 200,000. The cutoff called with a set of nines, but had been outdrawn by Gomez two tens for the straight.
