Komaromi Turns a Five, Bonnet Rivers an Ace

Bonnet wins it
Bonnet wins it

Alex Komaromi has been involved a good amount as of late and was once again in action here on this one. This time, he dropped about 240,000 chips after doubling up Luis Alberto Bonnet on the following hand.

Action folded all the way around to leave just the two blinds in action. Komaromi was in the small blind and raised all in against Bonnet's big blind. Bonnet made the call for his last 236,000 and found himself holding the best of it with five cards to come.

Bonnet: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Komaromi: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The flop came down {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Bonnet stayed in front with his ace-ten high. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Komaromi took the lead, but it would only last for a brief moment as the dealer dealt the {A-Diamonds} on the river and gave the lead back to Bonnet.

Bonnet won the hand with his pair of aces and doubled through.

Two Pair Good for Varela

Monteiro Flops Set, but Can't Win

From the cutoff seat, Rafael Monteiro raised to 36,000. Felipe Pasini reraised all in for 310,000. Monteiro made the call.

Monteiro: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Pasini: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Monteiro landed a set of nines to really put a strangle hold on this hand. Pasini would need runner-runner straight or flush cards in order to stay alive without the board pairing.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and it was a good card for Pasini. The river was even better with the {8-Diamonds} to give Pasini a straight and double him up.
