Garay Sticks Around

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Allen Alvarez shoved from under the gun and action folded to George Karmires in the cutoff who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Alvarez had 71,000 behind. Karmires folded but Edsel Garay called for the 22,000 he had behind in the small blind. The big blind quickly got out of their way.

Edsel Garay: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Allen Alvarez: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades} for Garay to hold with the pocket pair and double up.

Schneck Claims Some Chips Back

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Robert Schneck raised to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by the player in the early position for both of them to then proceed and check through the whole {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs} board. Schneck tabled {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for ace-high and that was enough for his opponent to muck his hand.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for Bililigne to hold and eliminate his opponent.
