Ganivet Shoves on Labranche; Ortega Wins One, Loses One
Level 40
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
James Carroll looked down at 8♥8♦ in the cutoff and committed himself to the pot with a raise of 10,000,000, which got through.
After that, Jonah Labranche raised to 5,000,000 from the small blind with Q♠2♦ and Alejandro Ganivet, with K♥J♠, shoved for 28,200,000 from the big blind. Labranche quickly let it go.
Jacques Ortega then picked up 10♥10♦ from under the gun and made it 3,200,000, earning him the pot as everybody folded.
Finally a flop was seen when Josh Reichard opened A♠2♦ from the hijack to 3,200,000, and Ortega defended with 10♠5♠ out of the big blind.
On the J♦K♥9♠ flop, Ortega checked and Reichard continued for 3,500,000. Ortega took some time to count out his stack, but eventually laid his hand down.
