Angelo Spikes River to Stay Alive

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Nick Angelo
Nick Angelo

The cutoff player opened for 1,200 and the button player called. Action was on Nick Angelo who three-bet jammed from the small blind for 10,800. The cutoff player called for less and the button player came along holding more chips than both opponents.

Cutoff Player: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Button Player: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Nick Angelo: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Angelo held the best with a made hand of eights but the [9cqcqod] flop gave the button player staright outs.

The {a-Diamonds} fell on the turn to put Angelo way behind as he needed any eight or jack to stay alive.

Angelo indeed had his prayer answered as the river fell the {j-Clubs} to give him the staright to take down the pot.

Matos lead out for 7,000 and was quickly called by [Removed:301].

Matos tabled {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for his missed open-ended staright draws and [Removed:301] scooped the pot holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Ryan Eriquezzo
Ryan Eriquezzo

With 11,000 already in the middle and a board showing {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, Ryan Eriquezzo moved all in for his last 19,500 from the hijack and was called by Steven Ortiz on the button.

Steven Ortiz: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Ryan Eriquezzo: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Eriquezzo turned two-pair but still had to dodge some cards as Ortiz could win the had with any queen or club.

Luckily for Eriquezzo the river bricked with the {4-Diamonds} and the two-time WSOPC Global Casino Champion scooped the double.
