White Falls Short of Pushing Solanki Out

Gabrielle Barredo

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

Danielle White opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and was called by Rahul Solanki in the big blind to see a flop.

On the Q♠9♣Q♥ flop, Solanki checked, and White continued for 4,500. Solanki calmly check-called. The turn brought the 6♥, and White fired again — this time for 11,000. Solanki, unfazed, made another smooth call, drawing a curious glance from White.

When the 4♣ river landed, Solanki checked for a third time. After a pause, White checked behind.

Solanki tabled Q♦8♥ for trip queens, and White quietly mucked her hand, clearly disappointed.

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

Players folded around to Danielle White in middle position, who opted to raise to 5,000. The table folded to Jason Gabriel, who called in the small blind.

Gabriel checked on the 4♦4♣9♠ flop before White bet 4,000.

Gabriel called 4,000, leading to a J♣ turn. Gabriel checked again leading to a 16,000 bet from White.

Gabriel gave it some thought before check-raising to 32,000. White mulled over her options before jamming for 54,500 more.

White's all in put Gabriel in the tank who gave it some time before opting to fold his hand.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Evangeline Ayed made it 5,000 to go from under the gun and Chad Holloway defended out of the big blind.

Holloway checked the K♠7♣10♣ flop and Ayed put out a continuation-bet of 3,000. Holloway made the call.

The 5♠ turn went check-check and the 7♠ landed on the river. Holloway led out for 4,000, which was enough to force Ayed to fold.

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With action folded to her, Danel Morez raised to 12,000 from the small blind after a limp from Jimmy Wells under the gun. Both Alexander Buranov in the big blind and Wells made the call.

The flop came 7♥Q♥5♣, and after Morez checked, Buranov immediately jammed all-in for about 25,000. Before his chips even hit the felt, Wells tossed in a single chip to call, prompting the dealer to confirm, “Is that a call?” With the action back on her, Morez looked to her left at both players before eventually folding.

Alexander Buranov: 4♣4♠ All in
Jimmy Wells: A♦Q♣

Wells was ahead with top pair, and the runout J♥8♥ didn’t change a thing.

Buranov hit the rail as Wells pulled in the pot.

Robert Jones

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Cameron Hubert opened the action with a raise to 10,000 from early position. Adrian Gallardo elected to call from middle position, along with Peter Lynn from the cutoff.

These three players saw a flop of J♣5♦4♠. Hubert, the initial raiser, decided to check it over Gallardo. Gallardo threw 12,000 into the middle, Lynn obliged, and Hubert mucked.

On a 6♣ turn, Gallardo continued to fire, making a bet of 20,000. Lynn decided the heat was too much, and released.

Barring a breakdown, Gallardo has set himself up for a prime position on day two of this tournament with a massive chip stack!
