Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gabriel Habbaba and Andres Ortega were not afraid to play a big pot as the two clashed in a significant hand.
Andres Ortega began the hand with a raise to 18,000 and faced an all-in from Gabriel Habbaba for well over 700,000. Ortega was undeterred by the size of the pot and made the call to be at risk for 561,000.
Andres Ortega: Q♥Q♣
Gabriel Habbaba: A♣K♥
It was a classic flip in a big spot for both players.
The flop kept Ortega in the lead as it came 4♠9♠6♦.
Ortega's queens stayed safe on the 6♠ turn, but Habbaba hit the river when the A♥ peeled to improve Habbaba to a better pair as he stood up in excitement, as Ortega got up from his seat in dismay.
