Gonzalez Doubles Late on Day 1c

Erick Torres

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Thanh Le opted to limp from early position, which was followed by a raise to 15,000 by Drew "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez from the next seat over. Trey Mayers was interested in playing a bigger pot and chose to three-bet to 40,000 from middle position. Le folded. Gonzalez took some time to think it over before he announced all-in for 104,500. Mayers called and put Gonzalez at risk.

Drew "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez: 10♣10♠ All in
Trey Mayers: A♠Q♥

Gonzalez was in a big flip for his tournament life as they went to a runout with him slightly ahead.

Gonzalez held on the 3♦3♠5♠ flop, as Mayers was left still searching for his overcards.

The 2♠ turn gave Mayers plenty of outs with a straight draw and a flush draw, but he failed to hit any of his outs on the K♥ river as Gonzalez scored the double.

Mayers busted shortly after, as he was seen exiting the tournament area.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

John Tran opened to 10,000 from early position before Ray Henson shoved for his last 64,000 from the small blind. Tran asked for a count before he made the call after taking an inventory. Henson was at risk as they went to a showdown.

Ray Henson: 6♣6♦ All in
John Tran: A♥5♥

Henson needed to fade an ace, but the flop did not comply with that directive when it came J♦K♠A♣, upgrading Tran to the best hand with a pair of aces.

The Q♥ turn offered some hope for a chop should a ten hit the river, but the 9♠ peeled instead as Henson hit the exit.

The 3♠ sealed it in favor of Bjork before the 9♣ completed the board.
