Sabogali Sends One to The Rail as Bubble Approaches

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alberto Sabogali
Alberto Sabogali

A player in early position shoved for their last 19,000 and action folded around to the player in the small blind, who re-raised to 34,000. Alberto Sabogali then cold-called from the big blind.

The small blind continued for 20,000 on the {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and Sabogali called.

The turn brought the {a-Spades} and Sabogali's opponent fired again — this time for 55,000. Sabogali called.

The small blind slowed down and checked on the {2-Spades} river, prompting an all in from Sabogali for around 200,000. The small blind folded and Sabogali showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a flopped set. It was good against the all-in player's {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Sabogali scooped the pot.

Both players checked on the {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and {10-Hearts} turn. Saddler then led out for 10,000 on the {4-Diamonds} river and Matei raised to 30,000. Saddler quickly folded and Matei took down the pot.

Petro Wins Race to Eliminate Cantrell

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Morgan Petro
Morgan Petro

Helen Cantrell opened to 20,000 under-the-gun and was three-bet to 45,000 by Morgan Petro on the button. Action folded back to Cantrell, who quickly shoved for 138,000 total.

Petro went deep into the tank, but eventually found a call to put Cantrell at risk.

Helen Cantrell: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Morgan Petro: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was nearly a coinflip, but the {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop left Cantrell drawing slim. The {6-Spades} turn and {3-Spades} river were of no help to Cantrell and Petro collected the rest of her chips.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Lerner
Michael Lerner

Lalith Mannur opened to 11,000 from early position and was called by Michael from middle position and the player in the small blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and action checked to Lerner, who bet 15,000. The small blind got out of the way and Mannur called.

Both players then checked down on the {9-Spades} turn and {j-Spades} river. Mannur tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, which was no good against the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} of Lerner, who scooped the pot.
