Gonzalez Shows the Bluff

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

All the cards were out and the board read {10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Johan Gonzalez (in the small blind position) moved all in against Salvatore Donato (in the big blind position) and Donato went into the tank.

Donato asked Gonzalez whether he would show if Gonzalez folded and he said yes. When Donato open mucked {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}, Gonzalez kept his word and turned his hand over to reveal {6-Spades}{5-Spades} for a busted flush draw that he had turned into a bluff.

Kassa Runs into Trouble

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Down to 75,000, Getnet Kassa shipped all in on the button and ran into Christopher Yong's pocket {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} in the small blind.

Nothing untoward happened on the {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board and Kassa is eliminated in 10th place. One more player needs to go in order for a table to break.

Kmieciak Four-Bets Avila

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Juan Avila has lost a pot after three-betting to 39,000 from the big blind over a 9,000 open by Piotr Kmieciak and a button flat from Victor Nitel. Back on Kmieciak and he moved all in for 225,000 and it was enough to convince both of his opponents to fold.

Barlow and Hegedus Out

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mark Barlow got the last of his chips in blind and Salvatore Donato was priced in to call the 10,500 all in from the big blind.

Salvatore Donato: {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Mark Barlow: {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Donato made a pair of deuces on the {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop and there was no redraw for Barlow on the {k-Spades}{q-Spades} turn and river.

A couple of hands later, Gabor Hegedus was spotted leaving the tournament area after he failed to spin up his short-stack.
