Cruel Turn Spells the End For Lopes Galindo

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Joseph Baghdalian raised to 30,000 under the gun before Humberto Lopes Galindo three-bet to 80,000 in early position. Baghdalian called and they saw a flop of K♣4♠J♠.

Lopes Galindo continued for 80,000 and Baghdalian called. The turn was the 7♥ and Lopes Galindo moved all in for 325,000. Baghdalian snap-called.

Lopes Galindo showed K♠Q♣ for top pair, but Baghdalian had turned a set holding 7♠7♣. Lopes Galindo was already drawing dead and the 2♠ river was a mere formality as he was sent to the rail.

Andres Gonzalez, the lone remaining member of last year's final table still in the field, is also at this table.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Hal Hammaker started the action with a 30,000 bet in middle position and got a caller in Raoul Kanme.

Both players saw a flop of 3♣4♥2♦. Hammaker continued with 50,000 and got called once again.

On the turn 5♣, Hammaker checked. Kanme fired 65,000 and Hammaker wasted no time in pushing all his chips in the middle for 300,000. Kanme folded without hesitation and conceded the pot to Hammaker.

Clee Silences Kassouf... Almost

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Will Kassouf made it 40,000 from the hijack before Terence Clee three-bet to 70,000 out of the big blind.

Perplexed by the small three-bet, Kassouf retorically asked Clee: "Why so small, why would you raise so small when you know I'm calling?" In the end, Kassouf called.

Before the flop was dealt Clee announced a check in the dark. Kassouf, was now even more baffled by the dark check, opted to check behind on the 10♣6♠2♣ flop, not before saying "As I'm a gentleman, I'll check as well.”

Clee led out for 70,000 when the 8♥ appeared on the turn. Kassouf mulled it over for quite some time before folding, and asking Clee to show one card. Clee responded and said to Kassouf: "If you show both, I'll show both".

Kassouf flipped over K♠Q♣ for king-high, prompting Clee to say: "Good fold, good fold" and turn over 7♣3♠ for just a complete airball with seven-high.

The whole table erupted in laughter and applause at Clee's bluff, including Kassouf, who admitted he was impressed by the play and the tabletalk.

There were 180,000 chips in the pot on K♠6♦K♣.

Oleksii Kravchuk who was under the gun checked to Octavian Vogele who was on the button, and he fired out a bet of 50,000, Kravchuk check-called.

Vogele did not slow down on the 5♠ turn as he decided to shove roughly 300,000 into the middle, Kravchuk snap-folded.

In a blind-versus-blind clash, Nathan Strange moved all in from the small blind and was called by Kohei Arai in the big blind.

Nathan Strange: K♦Q♠ All in
Kohei Arai: A♣K♣

The flop came K♠10♦5♥, giving both players top pair, but Arai held the superior kicker. The 6♥ turn and 2♦ river brought no help for Strange, and he was eliminated as Arai scooped up the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Koray Korkmaz open-shoved all-in for 150,000 in late position and got called by Simon Levy on the button, taking them to showdown.

Koray Korkmaz: K♣J♠ All in
Simon Levy: A♦10♠

Already ahead, Levy's lead got strengthened on the flop of Q♠10♥4♦ but Korkmaz had a chance as his outs increased with an open-ended straight draw. The turn 8♦ didn't change anything and the river 2♠ sealed Korkmaz fate. Korkmaz headed out to the payout counter as Levy scooped the pot.

Stewart Morrison

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Daniele Primerano kicked the action off with a raise in early position to 30,000, and the player to his immediate left called. Action was then on Diego Ponce in the cutoff, who put in a three-bet to 175,000.

When play folded back to Primerano, he moved all in for 1,375,000. The player to his left folded, but Ponce wasn't so quick to muck his hand.

Ponce went deep into the tank. A few minutes passed by, then a few more minutes. He then employed some table talk, trying to get more information.

"Are you nervous?" he asked Primerano.

"It's a big pot,” replied Primerano, "A little bit [nervous].” "In any case, I would prefer you fold,” continued Primerano.

Armed with precious little extra information, Ponce returned to trying to figure out what to do. After a couple more minutes passed, and with a painstaking look on his face, he elected to fold.

Rollercoaster Ride for Hendrix

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Dulberg raised it up in middle position and Adam Hendrix three-bet shoved all in for 405,000 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Dulberg who quickly called to put Hendrix at risk.

Adam Hendrix: J♠J♦ All in
Michael Dulberg: A♥K♥

The flop came 10♣9♦4♣ and Hendrix remained in front with his pocket jacks. The A♦ on the turn gave Dulberg a pair of aces but it was the J♣ on the river that gave Hendrix a set of jacks for a double-up.
