Arreca Crippled

Donnie Peters

Eric Arreca raised from late position and Tony Tan reraised from the button. Jordan Smith called out of the small blind. Arreca called as well.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Smith checked, Arreca bet, Tan raised, Smith called, Arreca reraised, Tan called, and then Smith folded. Arreca and Tan would see the turn.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Arreca bet. Tan made the call.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Arreca bet. Tan raised, Arreca reraised and Tan called.

Tan turned up pocket sevens for a straight. Arreca showed pocket sixes for a set of sixes and lost the hand, leaving his stack in some severe pain.

Lorenzo Guarin and Ben Yu got all in preflop. Guarin held {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} and Yu had {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Yu's tournament life was on the line.

The board came down {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {3-Hearts} and Guarin's aces were as good as gold in this pot. Yu was eliminated from the event.
