Souza's Swan Song

[user198205]

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Buckholtz raised to 26,000 from middle position and was called by Matt LaGarde from the hijack. Michael Souza then went all in from the button for a total of 157,000. Buckholtz folded but LaGarde decided to call putting Souza at risk.

Souza: {a-Clubs} {j-Spades}
LaGarde: {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}

The flop came {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} leaving Souza behind but still with hope, but then the turn brought the {9-Spades} giving LaGarde a boat and leaving Souza drawing dead. The river was a meaningless {q-Hearts} and Souza was eliminated while LaGarde chipped up to 600,000.

Seems Like a Dutch, A Dutch Too Much

[user76023]

Hendrik Alebregtse picked the wrong river to bluff on, it would seem. Against big blind Stanislav Alekhin, he raised preflop then fired 38,000 on the {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {K-Diamonds} flop, 75,000 on {8-Clubs} turn and finally moved all in on the {J-Spades} river. But the Dutchman was caught and had to show {9-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for nothing at all, always behind to the Russian's {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} which had rivered two pair.
