Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with 11,000 in the pot and the board showing J♦K♠A♦

A player in the small blind checked to Rosendo Veras Guerrero, and he bet 3,500. Then the small blind raised to 8,500, which Veras Guerrero called.

Both players checked after the 10♠ on the turn.

The river was the 10♣ and the small blind check-called a bet of 5,000, and Veras Guerrero tabled A♥K♥ for two pair, which was good to take the pot as the small blind mucked his hand.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up with a player all in, and Rosendo Veras Guerrero putting him at risk.

All in Player: Kx10x All in
Rosendo Veras Guerrero: A♦J♥

The player at risk had two live cards but would need to improve to stay in the tournament. But when the board ran out Q♥Q♦2♠5♥7♣ the ace high of Veras Guerrero was still best, to eliminate his opponent.
