Moutinho in Bad Shape

Erika Moutinho
Erika Moutinho

Erika Moutinho raised to 225 in the hijack and Eugene Katchalov popped it to 600 in the cutoff. "SoyUnCaballo" called on the button, "katsak" called in the small blind, and Moutinho four-bet to 2,750. Only Katchalov folded, landing a {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop.

A "katsak" check led to Moutinho shoving for 11,861. "SoyUnCaballo" called all in for 10,617, "katsak" folded, and the hands were revealed.

Moutinho tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for ace high while "SoyUnCaballo" was drawing with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The {5-Diamonds} turn gave "SoyUnCaballo" a flush and Moutinho couldn't hit a better one as the {Q-Spades} fell to leave her very short stacked.

Moutinho Triples...Then Doubles

Erika Moutinho shoved for her last 929 with {9-Spades}{7-Spades} and was called by two players.

Fortunately for Moutinho, her opponents checked down the {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board. Moutinho tabled {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for two pair to win the pot.

Shortly thereafter, she and Eugene Katchalov were involved in a preflop raising war. The end result? Moutinho was all in for 2,727 with {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} against Katchalov's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The board ran out {K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} to secure another pot for Moutinho.

Monster Stack for MONSTER_DONG

There's nothing we like more than a stacked table, and one such table here in the WCOOP Main Event features Jonathan "MONSTER_DONG" Karamalikis, Jens “Jeans89” Kyllönen, and Jonathan "FatalError" Aguiar. Karamalikis is by far the biggest stack at the table, and he's been putting it to good use.

Just before the break, action folded to "römpsä" in the cutoff and he put in a raise to 345. Karamalikis decided to defend his button with a three-bet to 825, which prompted both blinds to fold. Römpsä responded by four-betting to 1,805, Karamalikis moved all in for 62,561, and römpsä was put to the test for his stack of about 9,200. After a few tense moments, römpsä sent his hand to the muck, allowing the Australian to take down the pot, increasing his stack to over 64,000.

Bergman Busts Anderson

Josh Bergman
Josh Bergman

Calvin "cal42688" Anderson opened to 345 in early position and Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro called on the button. Josh "JBT449" Bergman made it 1,090 to go from the small blind, resulting in Anderson shoving for 6,133. Kelopuro folded, but Bergman called immediately with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

Anderson showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and found no help from the {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades} board, giving the pot to Bergman.
