Cabrera Scoops Amid Some Confusion

[user67765]

Omaha H/L:

Abel Cabrera fired bets on the turn and river on a board of {4-Spades}

and Nick Georgoulas called him down.

Cabrera: {K-Spades}

Georgoulas: {J-Clubs}

Cabrera had the nut flush for the high as the players disputed the low. It was awarded to Cabrera as he scooped the pot. He's hanging in there with 120,000 as Georgoulas still holds a healthy lead.

[user67765]

Hold'em:

Abel Cabrera limped from the button before Nick Georgoulas raised in the big blind. Cabrera made the call.

The flop landed {9-Diamonds}

and Georgoulas led out for 12,000. Cabrera made the raise to 24,000 and Georgoulas called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}

and Georgoulas check-called the bet from Cabrera. The river brought the {10-Diamonds}

and Georgoulas checked over to Cabrera who didn't hesitate to make another bet. It was enough to force Georgoulas out of the hand, stating that he held {A-?}

. Cabrera flashed the {3-Hearts}

as he raked in the chips to reduce his chip disadvantage.

Georgoulas is at roughly 270,000 with Cabrera now up to about 190,000.

[user67765]

Hold'em:

Andrew Demetriou raised to 24,000 from the button with both opponents making the call out of the blinds.

and the action checked to Demetriou who made a continuation bet. Nick Georgoulas made the call in the small blind as Abel Cabrera stepped aside.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts}

and Georgoulas checked to Demetriou who bet once again. Georgoulas again made the call.

The river delivered the {9-Diamonds}

and Georgoulas once again checked the action across to Demetriou who committed his last 22,000. Georgoulas made the call with {K-Spades}

for just a pair of kings, which turned out to be good as Demetriou tabled {3-Spades}

.

Demetriou collects $5,583 for his efforts as we are now heads up! Nick Georgoulas will take roughly a 3:1 chip lead into this heads up contest.
