Late Night Counts in Level Nine

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

Collado Cracks Aces Again

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

It appears that table 138 is the deadlock for players with a pair of aces as yet another short stack got it in with them and ended up second-best. Armando Collado struck with his {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} versus {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} when the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} for Collado to make kings full of tens.

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.

Gonzalez Flattened by Fourie

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

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.

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.

Collado Scores a Knockout

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

Armando Collado raised to 4,000 and a short stack then jammed for 15,000 in the cutoff. Norbert Szecsi called on the button and Collado also came along. The two active players checked down the {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} board and Collado's {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a straight won the pot, as the short stack had the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Szecsi briefly showed his {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-}.
