Bobrosky Hands Moret-Rojas a Cooler

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Josh Bobrosky
Josh Bobrosky

Josh Bobrosky opened with a raise from under the gun and found three callers which included Rodney Moret-Rojas from the cutoff, along with MSPT Hall of Famer Kou Vang from the big blind.

The {7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop was checked tp Bobrosky who continued for 2,000, prompting a fold from the player in late position while Moret-Rojas raised to 9,000.

Vang folded while Bobrosky called and the {a-Diamonds} fell on the turn.

Bobrosky check-called the all in bet from Moret-Rojas and the two players tabled their hands.

Josh Bobrosky: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Rodney Moret-Rojas: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Bobrosky pulled ahead after turning a better two-pair and the {4-Clubs} river secured him the pot while Moret-Rojas took his exit from the tournament field.

Zhi Wu
Zhi Wu

Zhi Wu raised from middle position and then called a three-bet from the player in the big blind.

Once the {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop hit the felt, the big blind player moved all in and Wu snap-called.

Zhi Wu: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Wu was out in front with his pocket aces and neither the {3-Spades} turn nor the {3-Diamonds} river changed a thing, as he eliminated his opponent.
