David Salituro

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

David Kinane raised to 11,000 in early position and was called by Iivan Zambrana in the hijack, Hady Ramadan in the cutoff, and Lucas Vergara in the big blind.

Action checked around to Ramadan on the 8♣4♦4♥ flop, and he moved all in for 60,000. Vergara folded, while Kinane called. Zambrana then got out of the way.

Hady Ramadan: 2♠2♦ All in
David Kinane: Q♣Q♠

Kinane had Ramadan dominated with his queens, and the 5♥ turn and A♥ river completed the board to seal the bustout for the BetMGM qualifier.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Lim raised to 8,000 on the button before Ernesto Bathan moved all in from the small blind. Lim tanked for a few minutes, but he eventually called for his last 60,000.

Daniel Lim: 10♦10♥ All in
Ernesto Bathan: J♠J♦

"I promise you he wasn't slowrolling," another tablemate said after Lim turned over his pair of tens. He found himself crushed by Bathan's jacks, and the A♦4♣4♦7♦8♥ board offered no help as Lim was sent to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 9,000 before Thomas Barry three-bet in the cutoff. The early-position player then moved all in, and Barry snap-called for 130,000. "Oh oh, I'm in trouble," Barry's opponent said.

Thomas Barry: Q♦Q♠ All in
Opponent: A♥J♠

Barry showed down two queens and needed to avoid an ace to survive. His opponent made a pair on the J♥10♠3♣ flop, but he improved no further on the 3♥ turn or 6♠ river, and Barry secured the double up.

Chun Yang: A♦A♣ All in
Justin Arnwine: 7♠7♦

Yang had picked up two aces and was a big favorite to double up, and the 2♠K♥2♦3♣Q♣ board kept him in the lead as Arnwine handed over the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Raju Jampana raised to 10,000 in early position before Yonnas Banteamlak three-bet to 20,000 in middle position. Jampana then four-bet to 45,000, and Banteamlak called.

The flop came 10♠3♥4♥ and Jampana bet 75,000. Banteamlak took three black 75,000 chips and tossed them up in the air, catching them perfectly between his fingers before dropping them in the pot. "We're going to see a showdown," he said.

Jampana then bet 27,000 on the K♦ turn, and Banteamlak called. Both players revealed their cards, Jampana with A♠Q♣ and Banteamlak holding K♠K♣, but Jampana still had 4,000 behind as they went to the 5♥ river. Jampana then checked, Banteamlak moved all in, and Jampana folded.

At another table, Waleed Mian has built up a massive stack of around 700,000.
