Saliba Gets Gigja to Fold

Ryan Lashmar

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Brynjar Gigja opened to 80,000 from middle position and Justin Saliba defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the A♣Q♣9♣ flop leading to the 4♠ turn. Saliba checked and Gigja bet 100,000. Saliba used one time extension before moving all in for around 300,000 which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nacho Barbero raised to 80,000 under the gun. Chino Rheem called from the big blind with just 60,000 remaining in his stack.

Rheem checked the 2♦10♦4♣ flop and Barbero bet enough to put Rheem all-in. Rheem reluctantly made the call for the rest of his chips.

Chino Rheem: Q♣8♦ All in
Nacho Barbero: 6♦6♥

There was help for Rheem on the K♦ turn and 9♠ river, as Barbero's sixes held up and sent Rheem to the rail.

Paulius Vaitiekunas raised to 60,000 under the gun. Isai Scheinberg three-bet from the button to 120,000 and Vaitiekunas called.

Vaitiekunas led out for 60,000 on the J♦7♠9♠ flop and was met by a raise to 300,000 from Scheinberg. Vaitiekunas immediately folded and Scheinberg was kind enough to flip over A♥A♣ as he pulled in the pot.
