Freitas Spikes the Nuts Against Tamano
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tomohiro Tamano raised to 160,000 in early position before Richard Freitas three-bet to 475,000 in the cutoff. Tamano called and they went heads-up to the Q♦10♣3♣ flop.
Freitas then continued for 325,000 and Tamano came back with a raise to 700,000. Freitas called.
Tamano bet another 600,000 on the K♥ turn and Freitas tanked for several minutes before emerging with an all-in shove for 1,925,000. Tamano snap-called.
Freitas turned over A♦J♣ for the nut straight. "Wow," Tamano said as he revealed 10♠10♥ for a set. Tamano needed the board to pair on the river, but he missed the A♠ and Freitas doubled up.
