Sushant Doubles Through Kadur

Erick Torres

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Aditya Sushant took a stand in the hijack position when he raised to 2,000,000 and left only 500,000 behind. The table folded to Ran Kadur in the big blind, who decided to clash with Sushant as he put the chips in necessary to put Sushant all-in. Sushant obliged and put in his final chips to go to a showdown at risk.

Aditya Sushant: A♠K♥ All in
Ran Kadur: J♦8♣

Sushant nearly flopped Kadur dead when it came K♠4♠K♣ to hit trip kings.

The 6♦ sealed the deal as the 3♠ rolled off on the river.

Erick Torres

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♠ All in
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.

Erick Torres

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

The first hand took place when Nicolas Godard limped from early position before Mario Diaz Quilez checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦3♣A♥, which led to a check from Quilez before Godard fired 600,000. Quilez called to send them to a turn.

Quilez checked the Q♥ turn before Godard fired 2,500,000. Quilez paused to give it some thought before he folded.

Quilez got involved in the very next hand when Daniel Schill raised to 1,200,000 from the button. Quilez responded with a raise to 5,000,000 from the small blind. Schill opted to fold to award Quilez the pot.
