Medarov Soars to a Large Stack

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Vasil Medarov
Vasil Medarov

In a preflop four-bet pot to the {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, the opponent of Vasil Medarov already moved all-in in the dark with the covering stack and said "why don't we save the time and get it in already". Once it was on Medarov, he called all-in for 127,900 and tabled the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for two pair.

He was up against {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and remained ahead throughout the {7-Hearts} turn and {q-Clubs} river to join the current chip leaders.

Gonzalez Flattened by Fourie

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Matthew Gonzales
Matthew Gonzales

Matthew Gonzalez just alerted the PokerNews reporting team to a beat he recently took that saw him lose a large portion of his stack.

Gonzalez called a raise from Conrad Fourie preflop, then on a {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-} flop, the duo alternated raises until all the money was in the middle for a roughly 200,000 chip pot.

Gonzalez held {q-}{q-}{7-}{4-} for a set of sevens, while Fourie held {a-Clubs}{k-}{j-Clubs}{j-} for a pair of kings with a flush draw.

The turn brought a {j-}, giving Fourie a full house of jacks full of sevens, with the river {2-} changing nothing to send the huge pot to Fourie.

Salazar Takes From Henson and Aldridge

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After Ken Aldridge raised to 4,000 in early position and was called by Ray Henson on the button, Aden Salazar three-bet to 15,000 out of the small blind.

Both opponents called to see a flop of {2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Salazar led out for 35,000, which sent Aldridge into the tank as he cut down his chips and contemplated his decision.

After about a minute of thought, Aldridge shuffled his cards in his hands, then tossed them into the muck. Henson then also folded, bringing a pot to Salazar that has him right among the chip leaders.

Gonzales Vanishes After Big Clash With Fourie

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Matthew Gonzales
Matthew Gonzales

With 35,500 in the middle to the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop, Matthew Gonzales and Conrad Fourie got their chips in and it was Fourie as the player at risk in a significant pot.

Conrad Fourie: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Matthew Gonzales: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Gonzales was drawing slim but found some hope with the {6-Hearts} turn. However, the {9-Spades} river was of no help as Fourie doubled for 164,500. Gonzales was left with around 30,000 in chips and disappeared shortly thereafter.

Jaros Wins A Big One From Cabrera

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Picking action up on the turn with 65,000 already in the pot and a board of {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, David Cabrera checked to Patrik Jaros, who bet the size of the pot.

Cabrera chose to call for approximately a third of his remaining stack.

The river brought the {a-Diamonds}, and both players opted to check.

"Straight," said Jaros, who revealed {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}, for indeed, a rivered straight. Cabrera looked frustrated to see his opponent get there at the end and tossed his cards into the muck.
