Level 2 : 100/300, 300 ante
Michael Gagliano
Michael Gagliano

Following his reported river-fold, Michael Gagliano recently played another huge pot. Gagliano was on the button, facing a bet of 14,000 into roughly 30,000 from Frederick Berger, who was in middle position. The board read {2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Gagliano decided to call this time.

Berger, however, rolled over {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for trip queens and Gagliano mucked.

Runner-Runner Trips for Ma

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Tony Ma

The {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} was spread out on the felt and Tony Ma fired 20,000 under the gun, a slight overbet to the pot. Noah Schwartz tanked in the hijack and then threw in the calling chips.

Ma flipped the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a flopped flush draw, and while it didn't get filled, the backdoor trips were enough to secure Ma the sizeable pot.
