Cardoso Shoves on McKellar; Abu Gazal Gets There on the River Against Moreno
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Pierce McKellar raised to 16,000 under the gun before Josias Cardoso three-bet to 48,000 in the hijack. McKellar called and the flop came 5♠4♠K♥.
Cardoso then bet 30,000 and McKellar called. The turn was the J♣ and Cardoso bet another 70,000. McKellar again called to see the 9♥ river, where Cardoso moved all in for 121,000. McKellar quickly folded this time.
At another table, Ezra Abu Gazal bet 54,000 from the button on a board of 10♣4♣7♥5♥ and Andrew Moreno called under the gun.
The river was the K♦ and Abu Gazal bet 100,000. Moreno took a minute before calling once more, and Abu Gazal showed K♣Q♦ for a rivered pair of kings to win the pot.
