Baltazar Turns the Nuts; Tadini Folds a Set
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Anas Tadini raised to 1,200 from early position and was called by four other players.
On the J♣9♠2♥ flop, Luc Alves checked from the small blind and UDSO High Roller champ Isabel Baltazar led out for 2,800 from the big blind. Tadini called before Azaal El Yamani folded from middle position. Patrick Frew called from the button and Alves also stuck around.
Baltazar fired out another 4,000 on the K♠ turn. Frew was the only player to fold.
A third barrel of 16,000 came from the High Roller winner, but both of her opponents folded.
All three players showed their cards anyway. Baltazar had the nuts with Qx10x, while Alves missed his flush with his A♠Q♠. Tadini made a disciplined laydown, and folded a set as he showed 2x2x.
