USDO Cup Winner Gabriel Eliminated
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
There was a large pot brewing between Mauro Dantas and USDO Cup winner Gabriel Villar Montes on Table #12.
There was around 17,000 on the middle on the 7♦6♣4♣ flop.
Cards were on their backs, with Montes showing 7♥4♥ from the small blind for two pair. Dantas was on the button with 8♣8♦.
Montes had a stack of around 62,000 with Dantas having 79,000.
The Q♣ kept Montes ahead, but Dantas picked up a flush draw.
The 3♣ completed the board to give Dantas the checkmark and send the opening event winner to the rail.
Montes captured the UDSO Cup for 200,000 MAD (~€19,000). The triumph was especially moving as it marked his return to the felt following a heart attack suffered in Las Vegas earlier this summer.
