Latorre Smashes Through 400k

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Start-of-the-day chipleader Jose Angel Latorre blasted out of the gates in a massive confrontation that left Tomi Brouk empty-handed after the dust had settled.

Latorre raised to 2,000 from under the gun, Tomi Brouk three-bet to 7,000 in middle position, Latorre four-bet to 23,000, and Brouk called. The flop was {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Latorre continued with 19,500. Brouk took some time before making the call.

On the {7-Spades} turn, Latorre cut out a bet of 44,000 and Brouk went deep in the tank. After several minutes, he cut out the calling chips and bolstered the pot to more than 100k.

The river was the {A-Hearts} and Latorre moved all in. Brouk sighed deep, as if he felt what was coming, and flicked in a calling chip to call off his last 70,000.

Jose Latorre: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Tomi Brouk: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Brouk's gut feeling was right, as Latorre had rivered the higher set to knock him out. Just like that, the Finn, who started the day with 160,800, was gone. Latorre is now swinging almost twice the stack of his nearest challenger.
