Barbero Gives it Up on the Turn

Tyler Foran

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nacho Barbero opened 120,000 in early position and Sergio Aguero defended the big blind,

When the J♠J♥4♠ flop hit the felt, Aguero check-raised the continuation bet of 105,000 to 225,000. Barbero took about 20 seconds before making the call.

The 4♦ fell on the turn, double pairing the board, and Aguero fired another bet of 200,000, which was enough to force Barbero out of the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Scott Seiver opened to 125,000 from the cutoff. But on the button, Jesse Lonis shoved for 265,000 chips.

Next to act, Gergely Kulcsár in the small blind decided to four-bet all in with the biggest stack in the field. "I'm pretty sure I have to fold" said Seiver, who eventually folded.

Jesse Lonis: A♥5♥
Gergely Kulcsár: A♣Q♣

Kulcsár was in the lead preflop and stayed ahead after the river on 7♠J♥Q♥K♠Q♦, which gave him trips. "I had eights" said Seiver after the hand to justify his fold.

Jesse Lonis opened 110,000 from early position and Gergely Kulcsar called next to act.

Alexandros Theologis: K♦J♣
Christoph Vogelsang: A♠A♥

There wasn't much to do for Theologis in this hand. He just waited until the turn on Q♥5♥8♠3♣3♠ to stand up and leave the table, being eliminated from the tournament.
