Lakatos And Wang Double

zedmaster84 • Level 31: 35,000-70,000, 8,500 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Ben Lakatos was the player at risk versus Ben Wilinofsky but had already locked up the double on a {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop. His {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for the nut full house could not be beaten by WIlinofky's {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, making the {j-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river a formality.

Fernando Habegger then put David Wang at risk in a preflop contest.

David Wang: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Fernando Habegger: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and Wang doubled.

Hernando Guzman started the action with a limp as the second player to act and Ben Lakatos also limped in. Ben Wilinofsky on the button squeezed to 300,000 and Guzman called, Lakatos folded.

While the flop showed {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Guzman was disconnected but got back in time to check his option. WIlinofsky went for the full pot for 802,500 and Guzman check-jammed for 2,174,587, the call of WIlinofsky followed after a few seconds of consideration.

Hernando Guzman: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Ben Wilinofsky: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Guzman had plenty of outs with his gutshot and live cards but the {2-Spades} turn and {k-Spades} river brought no help. Wilinofsky made kings over sevens and Guzman was eliminated in 7th place.

Ben Wilinofsky opened to 135,000 and Hernando Guzman came along out of the big blind. On the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Guzman opted to check-call for 87,500 and did so again for another 203,750 on the {7-Diamonds} turn. Wilinofsky checked behind the {2-Hearts} river with the {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Guzman dragged in the pot with the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Two hands later, Florian Fuchs potted out of the small blind and Ben Lakatos called. Fuchs bet the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop for just 103,125 to earn a call and the {7-Clubs} turn was checked. Fuchs also checked the {q-Clubs} river and let go when Lakatos bet half the pot.
