Blind-Vs-Blind Clash

Sava Krink

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

It was a blind battle situation when Samuel Rosborough raised from the small blind to over 2,000,000, putting Charlie Cuff all in.

“Let’s see,” Cuff said as he peeked at his cards, then made the call.

Charlie Cuff: A♦J♥ All in
Samuel Rosborough: J♠9♦

The flop came K♥10♠4♦, giving Rosborough some backdoor hope but no immediate help.

The A♣ on the turn gave him a straight draw, but also paired Cuff for top pair.

The river 3♣ changed nothing, and Cuff scored a much-needed double-up, clearly relieved to still be in the tournament.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Start of day chip leader Julio Belluscio limped in late position, Michael Rossitto called in the small blind, and Carlos Kinil checked his big blind.

The wheel spun, A♣7♣8♥ and all three players checked.

Two more checks followed the 4♣ before Belluscio pushed forward a bet of 600,000. Only Rossitto called.

The board completed with the K♥ and both players checked. Rossitto tabled A♠6♦ and collected the pot when Belluscio couldn't beat it.

Asher Conniff and Rossitto have been driving the action at their table, battling in many small pots preflop and post flop. The two are sitting comfortably deep and across the table from each other. They have yet to play a significant pot against each other.

Michael Rossitto	10,955,000 1,355,000	1,355,000

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Matan Mesika and Samuel Rosborough went to battle in two hands, which saw Masika eliminated.

Samuel Rosborough opened the button to 320,000 and Masika called from the big blind.

The K♦J♥3♠ flop saw Masika check and Rosborough bet 180,000. Masika made the call taking them to the turn.

The 6♦ was placed and Masika checked again. Rosborough bet 1,200,000 which saw Masika fold and take a chunk off his stack.

In the next hand Rosborough opened the cutoff to 320,000 and Masika three-bet from the small blind for 780,000. Rosborough called and the players saw a 2♥9♥J♠ flop.

Masika checked, Rosborough bet 425,000 and Masika called.

The 3♥ was turned and Masika checked again. Rosborough bet 650,000 and Masika called.

Masika check-raised the 10♥ river to 1,200,000 after Rosborough bet. Rosborough responded with a jam, covering Masika's stack. Masika snap called, and the player flipped their hands.

Samuel Rosborough: A♥7♥
Matan Mesika: K♦Q♥ All in

Both players were sitting with the flush with Mesika having made his on the river, but Rosborough had the nuts with the Ace.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Asher Conniff kicked off the action in the cutoff with a raise to 320,000, and Julio Belluscio on the button made the call.

Both players checked the 3♠7♠9♣ flop and the K♣ turn.

Conniff checked the A♠ river once again, and Belluscio made a bet of 400,000.

Conniff hesitated a bit before making the call with Q♠Q♥, which was enough to beat Belluscio's bluff with 5♦4♦.

Asher Conniff	7,030,000 1,135,000	1,135,000

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Carlos Kinil raised to 250,000 and Tanupat Punjarojanakul raised to 700,000 on his left with just a few chips behind. Julio Belluscio further increased the action by declaring an all in. Kinil folded and after craning his neck hoping to see action at the other table, Punjarojanakul made the call.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul: 9♠9♥ All in
Julio Belluscio : A♦Q♦

The flop gave Belluscio some more outs as the dealer spread 8♥K♣10♠ but his opponents pair held true when the K♦ and 3♦ completed the board.

Belluscio Tries to Steal From Rossitto

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sava Krink

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

It started harmlessly when Julio Belluscio called from the button and Michael Rossitto checked his big blind.

Both players checked the 9♠A♦8♥ flop.

On the 4♠ turn, Rossitto checked once again, and Belluscio bet 200,000, which Rossitto called.

Rossitto also checked the 2♥ river, and Belluscio fired a hefty bet of 1,500,000. Rossitto started chatting with Belluscio, as these two had been playing together for quite a while. In the end, Rossitto said, "Let's see if I can catch you once more," and he made the call.

Belluscio showed 7♥6♥ for a missed straight, and Rossitto tabled J♥9♠ for a pair of nines, which was enough to claim this decent pot.
