Peragallo's Blind Shove Fails

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andrew Peragallo was all in under the gun and all in for 20,000. The small blind called him, and Peragallo said he hadn't looked.

Peragallo: {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Small blind: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

"You didn't even look, and you still woke up with that?" someone cracked.

Peragallo was loving the {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, but the {a-Spades} turn left him miles behind. An {8-Hearts} river was no help.

Brutal Beat for Subramanian

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} on the board, Ravi Subramanian bet 45,000 from the big blind, about the size of the pot. Sam Benavram tanked for three or four minutes in early position, talking to either Subramanian or himself. Finally, he stuck in his 60,000 and Subramanian called with {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Benavram had {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and needed help, which he got on the {5-Clubs} river, leaving Subramanian in disbelief.

Players are now on their final break of the night.

Ermie Flops Well But Can't Hold

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Ermie
Michael Ermie

After an open to 4,000 in middle position, Michael Ermie shoved in the next seat for just over 30,000. Aaron McEvoy called in the cutoff, as did the small blind. On the {3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop, the small blind checked and snap-folded to a shove.

McEvoy: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Ermie: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Ermie was looking decent for the moment with jacks but that changed in a hurry as his equity went to zero on the {10-Clubs} turn.

Valenzuela Knocks Out Two Then Dubs Ajayi

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

One player was already all in and there was a small side pot between the big blind and Leonardo Valenzuela with {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} on the felt. The big blind jammed for about 14,000 and Valenzuela called.

Valenzuela: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Big blind: {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Third player: {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The third player appeared to have not looked at his cards, and he was drawing dead. The river was a {2-Diamonds} and Valenzuela took the whole pot.

The next hand, Adedapo Ajayi shoved for 11,800 in middle position. Valenzuela called with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} but trailed Ajayi's {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} board favored Ajayi, but it was only a small hit to Valenzuela's stack.
