Arturo Segura
Arturo Segura

A big pot was played across the room and a bunch of chips were headed in the direction of ClubGG qualifier Arturo Segura.

The board was quickly washed by the dealer, but Segura had gotten it in preflop with pocket queens, against the pocket jacks and ace-king of Ronald Kluber and George Garcia.

Segura made queens full and scooped a huge early pot. Kluber was eliminated and Garica took a hit.

"Big K" Agonizes ClubGG Qualifier Franco With Shove in the Dark

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Kevin "Big K" Meyers and Club GG Qualifier Ian Franco
Kevin "Big K" Meyers and Club GG Qualifier Ian Franco

ClubGG Qualifier Ian Franco raised to 200 and Kevin "Big K" Meyers three-bet to 600. Franco called and they saw the {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop.

Meyers sized up to 6,600 and Franco called.

Meyers shoved his remaining 15,400 in the dark and stood up as the river brought the {q-Spades}. Franco went deep into the tank for several minutes.

"You got eights," asked Meyers to his silent neighbor Franco. "Pocket eights?"

Eventually, the clock was called and Franco mucked.

"You wanna see one," asked Meyers. "Pick one."

Franco turned over the {7-Clubs} for at least one pair.

"Set of sevens," said one tablemate.

"Seven-deuce," quipped another.
