Burillo Triples

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

As told by Daniel Burillo who was in a car crash last year and barely survived and is now able to play poker. Burillo was in a hand versus two players when he raised in early position to 6,000 and a middle position player and a late position player called.

The flop came a dangerous 6♥5♥3♥ and Burillo came out betting 6,000 and was called by both players.

The turn got even more juicy with the 4♥ and Burillo bet 6,000 and was called by both players again.

When the river brought a black 5x Burillo bet 15,000 and both players called. The first player showed K♠J♥ and the second player mucked and Burillo raked in a nice pot with 5♣5♠.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Players are being sent on another 30-minute break as tournament officials race off the purple 500-denomination chips.

This is also the last chance to enter today's action, as late registration ends at the conclusion of the break.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Preflop action opened with a player in middle position limping in. The cutoff then went all in for 14,000. Alejandro Crooks made the call from the small blind, and the middle position player came along.

The flop came 6♦6♣2♦ and both players checked. Crooks led out for 10,000 on the 4♣ turn which got a fold.

Cutoff: A♠8♣
Alejandro Crooks: 5♦4♦

Crooks was ahead, and the 10♦ river needlessly upgraded his two pair into a flush as he raked in a big pot.
