Vieira Hero-Calls His Way to a Double

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 800 ante

Heads-up on a flop of K♦2♣6♥, Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue bet 9,111 from the small blind and Joao "WinamaxPT" Vieira called in middle position.

The turn came the 4♦ and Maue bet another 35,777. Vieira again called to see the Q♥ river, where Maue moved all in.

Vieira went into his time bank as he tanked for several moments before calling with Ax4x for a pair of fours. Maue showed Jx7x for a bluff and Vieira doubled up.

Level 20 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 600 ante

"Jlebrun" was down to only 41,873 and moved all in as action folded around to Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs in the big blind, who called to put them at risk.

"Jlebrun": Q♦10♦
Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs: K♦10♠

"Jlebrun" was dominated, and while both players hit a pair on the J♦4♣10♥3♣5♥, Ponakovs' king-kicker played to send his opponent to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 600 ante

After just losing a flip with ace-king a few hands earlier, Josh "Nitbuster" Arieh was on a short stack and moved all in for 25,266 in the cutoff. Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue reshoved from the small blind and when the big blind folded the cards were on their backs.

Joshua "Nitbuster" Arieh: A♣8♦
Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue: A♥J♥

Arieh was in need of help, but when the board ran out J♠9♦7♦K♣K♠, it was the ace-jack for Maue that held up to send Arieh out on the stone-bubble.

The remaining 60 players are now in the money and locked up a minimum cash of $11,628.
