Caballero Making Moves

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Gabriel Caballero limped in from under the gun and there was a raise to 400 on his left. Tomas Paredes three-bet to 1,800 in the cutoff and only Caballero called. The flop fell {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Caballero check-called a bet of 2,000 from Paredes.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to the {8-Hearts} on the river. Caballero led out for 2,600 and Paredes put together a raise to 6,800. Caballero instantly shoved all in for 31,100 and Paredes was forced to let his hand go. Caballero showed {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for what could have been the best hand as he raked in the pot.

Up and Down Day for Gates

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The last we saw from Garry Gates, he ran a flush into a bigger flush but he had since chipped up from that point. However, after a limp from early position, Gates made it 800 to go in the hijack. Andrew Hills called in the cutoff as did Lucas Smith on the button.

The flop came {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Gates led out for 1,500. Hills quickly folded but Smith made it 4,000 which Gates called. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and Gates check-called another bet of 7,000 from Smith.

The {j-Hearts} landed on the river and Gates checked once more. Smith splashed in a bet of 15,000 and Gates felt there was something fishy going on.

"You have kings?" Smith kind of questioned.

"Do you want me to have kings?" Gates muttered back.

After some more small talk between the two players, Gates let his hand go and Smith flashed {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} which was confirmed to be the best hand.

Moreno Soars to the Top

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Andrew Moreno and Jason James went heads-up to the flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}. James checked from the big blind and Moreno tossed in a bet of 500 from the cutoff. James check-raised to 1,800 and Moreno just called.

The turn was the {a-Spades} and James counted out a bet of 2,400. Moreno threw in enough chips to put James to the test for his remaining stack and he quickly called off another 10,000 chips.

Moreno turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} which left James drawing to just one out with {10-Spades}{7-Spades}. The {10-Hearts} completed the board and Moreno soared to the top of the counts after eliminating James.

Nichols Gets There on the River

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Three players headed to the flop with around 4,000 in the middle and the dealer fanned the flop of {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}. Steven Nichols led out for 2,500 in the small blind and Robert Pardo called in middle position.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Nichols tossed in another bet of 4,500 which Pardo called. The {q-Diamonds} on the river put four cards to a straight on the board and Nichols fired out another 7,000. Pardo thought for a moment before flicking in a call. Nichols tabled {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a rivered straight while Pardo could only muster two pair with {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Small Pot for Vazquez Eliminates Delisle

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante
Facundo Vazquez
Facundo Vazquez

Facundo Vazquez raised it up in early position and Jerry Delisle shoved all in for 2,600 on his left. Marvin Brown flat-called from the small blind and Vazquez opted to just call as well.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Brown checked to Vazquez who bet 2,400 into a dry side pot. Brown thought for a minute but decided to lay his hand down. Vazquez turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} which had Delisle's {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} in big trouble. The {9-Clubs} on the turn and the {k-Hearts} on the river wasn't enough to help Delisle who was eliminated.
