DeAlmeida Back At It
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Fresh off a seventh-place finish in Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack, Manuel "Manny" DeAlmeida didn’t waste time to engage in another tournament.
He found himself in heads-up action against a late position player and a growing pot after the flop, which showed 8♥4♦8♣. After checking the flop, his opponent bet 1,200, and then DeAlmeida check-raised to 3,500, which received a call.
The turn showed A♣, which prompted DeAlmeida to bet 2,500 and his opponent called. The river produced 7♣ and DeAlmeida bet 5,000 into his opponent, who took a few moments before calling.
“Trips,” DeAlmeida said as he tabled 9♦8♦.
His opponent mucked the hand and the pot was awarded to DeAlmeida.
