Pro Calls Celestino

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The action started with Arthur Pro opening to 14,000 from middle position, and finding a call from Ariel Celestino in the hijack, as well as Igor Yaroshevsky in the small blind. The flop came down {5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, as Yaroshevsky checked his option. Pro threw out a continuation bet of 24,000, which only Celestino called, as the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn. Pro quickly reached for his chips, and bet out another 50,000, which was snap called, before the {10-Clubs} completed the board.

Pro didn’t slow down, pausing for just a moment, before betting out 90,000. Celestino then moved all in for 350,000, which had Pro well
covered. Pro sat there for minutes, contemplating his decision, not happy with shove. Eventually he made the call, and was ecstatic, when he saw his opponent instantly shake his head.

He slammed down his {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, knowing it was good, as Celestino mucked his hand. The dealer then said he had to show his cards, as Celestino then rolled over his {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for top-pair.

Rivero Spikes

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Alexandre Rivero opted to move all in for 133,000 from under the gun, and the action folded around to Matt Schulte, who asked for a count, before making the call. The button and blinds folded, before both players tabled their cards.

Schulte: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Rivero: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Rivero was behind, and found no help, when the flop came down {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. However, he spiked the {Q-Clubs} to take the lead, and held as the {5-Diamonds} completed the board.
