Value for De Almeida

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mateus De Almeida opened with a raise to 2,500 from early position. Nero Chualong called from middle position. Nero Chualong came along from the hijack, and Farzaz Rahman defended his big blind to create a four-handed pot.

Rahman checked the A♥7♦2♠ flop before De Almeida bet 3,500. Chualong called, but Sharma and Rahman both folded.

Both remaining players checked the 8♥ turn to see the K♦ river.

De Almeida chose to bet smaller to the tune of 2,000 and was quickly called by Chualong.

De Almeida showed A♠J♣ for top pair, which was enough to drag in the pot as Chualong folded without showing.

Aggression from Cannon

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Donald Rosby raised to 2,500 from the cutoff before Deven Cannon called on the button. Roger Bailey defended his big blind to send three players to a flop.

All three players checked the K♠4♣7♠ flop.

Bailey checked the 7♦ turn, but Rosby opted to bet 3,000. Cannon gave it some thought before he chose to raise it to 8,000 in response.

Bailey folded, and Rosby paused to ponder the spot before he also folded to yield the pot to Cannon, whose turn aggression took down the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Travis Fujisaka raised to 2,200 from under the gun. Hung Moon chose to go all-in for 5,000 even on the button, and was called by Fujisaka to be at risk.

Hung Moon: A♥J♠All in
Travis Fujisaka: J♦10♦

Moon was in a good spot to double as he had Fujisaka's hand dominated.

The flop did not compromise that as it fanned out J♣6♥K♥.

Moon secured the double when the 8♣ turn and the 6♠ river completed the board.

Epstein Eliminated

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were already over 7,000 in the middle on the flop of A♠8♥9♥. Xian Tang had checked from the big blind position to Jonathan Epstein in the next seat over.

Epstein chose to bet 3,100 before he faced a check-raise all-in from Tang. Epstein pondered for a moment before he made the call to be at risk for his tournament life.

Jonathan Epstein: A♦Q♣All in
Xian Tang: K♥10♥

Epstein made the correct call as he was ahead of the flush draw of Tang, but with two cards to go, it was still anyone's pot.

The 9♠ was a safe turn for Epstein, but the river stung as it came 3♥ to upgrade Tang to a flush and the best hand to eliminate Epstein.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Hults began the hand with a raise to 1,800 from the cutoff. James Low called on the button, and David Paletta came along with a call from the small blind.

Paletta checked the K♥3♥2♦ flop before Hults bet 2,500. Low folded, and Paletta opted to call to send them to a turn.

The 4♦ turn led to another check from Paletta. This time, Hults bet 5,700. Paletta once again called.

Paletta chose to take the initiative on the K♣ river with a bet of 5,600. Hults gave it some thought before he put Paletta all-in. Paletta snap called to be at risk for 15,600.

Hults showed 9♥8♥ for nine high, while Paletta showed 6♦6♥ for two pair to take down the pot and double.
