Strange Spot, Big Pot for Gonzalez

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jonathan Gonzalez
Jonathan Gonzalez

Details leading up to an unusual preflop decision for Adelsinei Desilva are unknown.

Desilva appeared to have open raised under the gun preflop, and the player on the button was all in for 9,900, with {j-Spades}{8-Clubs} in front of him. Jonathan Gonzalez had called the bet from the big blind, and action was back on Desilva.

Desilva decided to call, and he and Gonzalez went to a {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop for the side pot.

Gonzalez bet 25,000, and Desilva folded.

Button: {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Jonathan Gonzalez: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The turn {a-Spades} and river {6-Diamonds} secured the win for Gonzalez, who's sitting on one of the bigger stacks in the room going to the second break of the day.

Ralston's River Bet Gets Paid

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Dan Ralston checked from the small blind, the under-the-gun player checked as well as the cutoff on the turn of a {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board.

With about 10,000 in the pot, the river came {7-Hearts}, and Ralston put out a pot-sized bet for 10,000. The under-the-gun player called, and the cutoff folded.

Ralston showed {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}, good for a straight, and Ralston's opponent mucked.
