A Fallen Angel

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante
Angel Guillen - Eliminated
Angel Guillen - Eliminated

Recently moved to the feature table, Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen was dealt {10-}{10-}.

With one limper in front of him Guillen rasied from the cutoff to 1,400, but saw the player in the small blind re-raise to 3,200.

The limper folded, Guillen called, and a flop of {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} hit the board. The small blind led out for 4,200 and after about ten seconds of concentration, Guillen moved his entire stack in the middle for an additional 20,000-ish. The small blind, who had Guillen barely covered, called and turned up {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

As the {J-Diamonds} was delivered on the turn, the original limper admitted to folding the {A-Hearts}. That made the {A-Diamonds} river card that much worse, as Guillen's opponent spiked the one-outer to score the elimination.

Vaeza Doubles

Adolfo Vaeza
Adolfo Vaeza

A four-way limped pot has resulted in a big double for Adolfo Vaeza.

When the flop fell {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, the player in the big blind bet 1,300. Vaeza popped it to 3,000, forcing folds from the other two players in the hand. The big blind called and when the {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn, he led out 4,000. Vaeza shoved for the remainder of his stack, 35,900.

His opponent thought about it for about 45 seconds before calling, tabling {7-Spades}{6-Spades}. Vaeza showed {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a better straight and avoided a chop when the {10-Hearts} fell on the river.

Manzano Gets Paid Off

Alex Manzano opened to 1,000 under the gun and was called by the next two players to act.

The flop fell {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and action was checked around, landing the {10-Spades} on the turn. Manzano bet 1,800, chasing only one opponent away. When the {6-Clubs} hit the river, Manzano bet a smallish 2,100.

His opponent called, but mucked when Manzano tabled {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for top pair.

Jose Barbero - Eliminated

Season 3 LAPT Punta del Este Champion and Team PokerStars Pro Jose "Nacho" Barbero has been eliminated.

After seeing one opponent limp and another raise to 1,500, Barbero shoved for 5,500 from the small blind. The limper re-raised, successfully isolating the pot, and showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Barbero was racing with {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. However, it was all but over when the flop came down {J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The {8-Hearts} turn and {7-Spades} river completed the board, officially ending Barbero's title defense.
