Magnotti Loses a Bunch to Cruz
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Joseph Magnotti defended his big blind against a raise by Alexis Cruz and then check-called for 1,500 on the 9♣9♦4♠ flop. On the 6♣ turn, Magnotti check-called for another 4,000 and checked the 2♠ river. Cruz fired a bet of 16,000 to get snap-called and turned over the 9♠8♦ for trips nines.
Magnotti shook his head as he exposed the 9♥3♥ for the inferior kicker and lost a bigger portion of his stack.
Cruz leaped to two times the starting stack, which is only beaten by the large stack of Wai Keong Yong next to Magnotti.
