Quilez Leaves Thrush Short
Level 35
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Nathan Thrush opened the action with a raise to 1,000,000 from early position during the last hand before the break. The table folded to Mario Diaz Quilez for who chose to raise all-in for 4,700,000. Thrush called and just had him covered to send them to a showdown with Quilez at risk.
Mario Diaz Quilez: A♥A♠
Nathan Thrush: Q♠Q♣
Quilez had Thrush crushed, and the 5♦8♣5♣ flop brought no solace to Thrush, who was searching for one of the two queens left in the deck with two streets to go.
The turn was paint, but it was the J♦, and the 10♣ river was immaterial as Quilez delivered a blow to Thrush as they entered break.
