Howard Wins a Monster Pot, La Cava Eliminated

Level 20 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Gareth Howard opened the action with a raise to 120,000 from under the gun. Once it was the turn of Alessandro La Cava in the big blind, he called.

The dealer spread a flop of 769, and fireworks followed.

La Cava checked, seeing Howard continue for 155,000. La Cava then check-raised all in for 1,400,000. Howard looked back at his cards, got his phone ready to record, and called.

Alessandro La Cava: 109 All in
Gareth Howard: 66

The turn A kept things as they were, and although the river 9 improved both players, crucially, Howard had a full house, seeing him scoop the massive pot, leaving La Cava eliminated.

Jorgji Kotorri

Jorgji Kotorri raised to 215,000 from late position, only receiving action from Rosario Saddemi, who put his remaining stack of 115,000 into the middle.

Rosario Saddemi: 66 All in
Jorgji Kotorri: AQ

Kotorri was adamant there would be an ace on the flop, and just like that, the flop came out 2A2.

The turn 4 and river J couldn't turn the tide back in favour of Saddemi, who headed toward the exit.

Toni Ravnak

Toni Ravnak raised to 120,000 in middle position, which was met by a three-bet shove from Maria Koutsouki in the big blind.

Ravnak asked for a count, which was 335,000, and made the call.

Maria Koutsouki: A7 All in
Toni Ravnak: A10

It was not the situation Koutsouki had hoped for, and when the J2846 offered no help, she said her goodbyes to the table and headed to the payout desk.

Henry Broens: 66 All in
Rosario Saddemi: K4

There was no drama for Broens, as the board came A3J910, seeing him double up.
