Hand #121 - Luis Velador

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3 and he limps in. Anthony Signore checks his option.

The flop comes {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. Signore checks and Velador reaches for his chips. Signore folds before Velador could even count out a bet. Luis Velador wins the pot.

Out of Nowhere

Anthony Signore who, needless to say, has second place locked up, was slow to start. He didn't voluntarily put money into the pot until roughly the 25th hand mark. He has been playing smart, picking his spots, and is now roughly even in chips with Luis Velador.

Hand #119 - Anthony Signore

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3 and he limps in. Anthony Signore checks his option.

The flop comes {8-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds}. Signore checks and Velador bets 75,000. Signore makes the call.

The {7-Spades} hits the turn and Signore double checks his hole cards. He surveys the situation and then bets 200,000. Velador passes and Signore wins the pot.

Hand #117 - Anthony Signore

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3 and he raises to 150,000. Anthony Signore calls and we're off to the flop.

The flop comes {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Signore is first to act and fires out a bet of 300,000 which Velador promptly calls.

The turn falls the {J-Clubs}. Signore stares at the board, then his chips. He then says "six hundred." He pushes six stacks of orange chips towards the center. Velador passes and Signore wins the pot.

Hand #115 - Luis Velador

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3 and he calls. Anthony Signore checks his option.

The flop comes {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} . Signore checks and Velador bets 50,000. Signore calls.

The {3-Diamonds} hits the turn and both players check.

The river comes the {3-Hearts} and again it goes check-check.

Velador shows {5-?} {5-?} which is good enough to take it down.
