Gonzaga Chips Up Before the Break
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alessandro Taranto made it 160,000 to go on the button with the A♠8♦. Edwin Dela Cruz three-bet to 480,000 with the 6♥6♦ in the big blind and the Italian mulled it over for a bit and grabbed into his stack to check how much he had behind.
The last hand of the level was a limped pot between Dela Cruz with the A♦7♦ and the Q♣10♠ of Terry Gonzaga. The 10♥10♣3♠ flop was checked, Dela Cruz then check-called the 6♠ turn for 200,000 and the A♣ river for 400,000 to concede a pot right before the second 15-minute break.
