Gonzaga Falls for Welo's Trap

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tor Welo
Tor Welo

Tor Welo min-raised to 120,000 with the A♠A♦ and Terry Gonzaga called with the K♥10♣ on the button.

The A♥J♥7♠ flop gave Welo the top set while Gonzaga had a gutshot. Welo's bet of 150,000 resulted in a call by Gonzaga, who it was checked to after the A♣ turn. Gonzaga bet 250,000 and Welo flat-called which led them to the 8♣ river.

Welo checked again and Gonzaga bet 500,000 with 1,300,000 behind. The check-shove by the Norwegian followed and Gonzaga snap-folded.

Nicola Montalbano Eliminated in 8th Place (PHP609,000/$10,999)

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nicola Montalbano
Nicola Montalbano

Tor Welo raised to 120,000 with the A♣10♣ from under the gun and Terry Nguyen three-bet to 300,000 with the K♠K♣ in the hijack. Nicola Montalbano in the big blind had just 125,000 behind and called all-in for 185,000 total.

The A♥K♥10♠ flop gave Welo top and bottom pair while Gonzaga had the middle set. Welo checked to the three-bettor and Gonzaga continued for 300,000. "How much do you have?" Welo inquired and glanced over to the other side of the table, then opted to call.

A second flush draw came with the 6♠ turn and Welo checked once more. Gonzaga pushed all-in and that forced out Welo after some deliberation, as a quite happy Gonzaga smiled back with the Norwegian in the tank.

Once the cards were revealed, Montalbano was left drawing dead already and his tournament run officially concluded with the 4♥ river.

Ryan McAllister raised to 120,000 with the A♣7♣ and Edwin Dela Cruz three-bet to 350,000 on the button with the 7♠7♥. Terry Gonzaga folded the 9♠9♣ out of the big blind, and McAllister came to the same conclusion.

Soon after, Nicola Montalbano raised to 250,000 with K♠Q♥ and kept 245,000 behind. William Teoh then three-bet to 550,000 on the button only for Gonzaga to push all-in for 845,000 in the small blind. Montalbano threw up his hands in the air almost immediately and sigh-folded while Teoh instantly called.

Terry Gonzaga: A♥K♣
William Teoh: 8♠8♣

The K♥5♠4♦ flop improved Gonzaga to the superior pair, which stayed in the lead throughout the J♣ turn and 10♦ river.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Valeriy Pak
Valeriy Pak

Ryan McAllister got through with a shove out of the small blind holding the A♦Q♥ and up next, William Teoh opened to 100,000 with the K♥Q♠. No call followed and the pot was awarded to Teoh.

Terry Gonzaga then made it 110,000 to go with the 10♥9♥ from an early position for Valeriy Pak to just flat-call on the button with A♠A♦. Gonzaga had a piece of the K♠9♦2♦ flop and bet 100,000, Pak then jammed for 490,000.

That sent the local hero into the tank and he eventually folded as the first 15-minute break of the day kicked off.

Teoh then jammed his short stack on the 2♣ river and Dela Cruz folded the superior hand.
