First Heads Up Table in the Shootout
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a board reading J♣5♠9♠K♠4♥ Luis Carmona bet out for 10,000 into a pot of 30,000 as first to act, but was put into a gross spot when his opponent Killian Desnos instantly shoved his 63,000 stack into the middle. Carmona didn't have to think for too long before making the hero call with K♥Q♦ holding only top pair with no spade. That being said, his read was correct, as Desnos tabled A♦2♠ for the failed bluff attempt, and promptly left the table.
This elimination leaves Carmona and Andrew Brown in a heads-up battle to see who will progress to day 2, with Carmona holding a commanding chip lead, holding double Brown's chips in his stack
