Sabogali Finds a Double

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Alberto Sabogali
Alberto Sabogali

Alberto Sabogali was all-in preflop from middle position against a player in early position who had Sabogali covered and at risk.

Alberto Sabogali: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Early-position player: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

"This is very lucky hand," Sabogali said.

The {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Spades} runout left Sabogali best, and an unsurprised Sabogali re-iterated, "It's just a very lucky hand," matter-of-factly as he scooped the pot.

A player in early position raised to 3,500 and was called by Isiah Ditoto in middle position and the player in the big blind.

It was then checked down on the {a-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river. Ditoto showed {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, which was good against his opponent's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and {5-}{5-} and he dragged the pot.

It was checked to Soleyn on the {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and he promptly went all in. His opponent folded and Soleyn scooped the pot.

Martinez Flushes Jin Out of Contention

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Victor Martinez
Victor Martinez

Jay Jin was heads-up from the cutoff against Victor Martinez on the button on a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, which both players checked.

The {k-Clubs} came on the turn and Jin bet 3,500. Martinez moved all in, which was enough to put Jin all in for the rest of his chips. Jin called and hands were revealed.

Jay Jin: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Victor Martinez: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Jin was ahead, but would need to fade a club to avoid elimination. The {q-Clubs} river completed Martinez's flush, however, and Jin was sent to the rail.

Jin was seen re-entering shortly after busting for a fresh stack.
