Double-Ups for Gopez and Cerbito
Level 25
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
At almost the same time on two neighbouring tables, Edilberto Gopez and Marciel Cerbito notched up doubles.
Alex Chong got away with a three-bet shove after a raise and two callers to then get into a raising war with Gopez in which he made it 65,000 to go. Gopez clicked it back to 130,000 and called instantly when Chong jammed.
Edilberto Gopez: A♦A♥
Alex Chong: 10♠10♥
The aces held on a board of K♦Q♦5♦6♣7♠ for Gopez to survive.
Cerbito turned the nut flush with A♣4♣ to beat Simon Isback and his K♣J♣ for an inferior flush on the K♠6♣5♣Q♣J♥ runout where none of the two was ever going anywhere.
