Montejo Bests Mcewen

Erick Torres

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jefferson Montejo raised to 35,000 from the button, but Preston McEwen wanted to play for more and raised it to 110,000. Montejo gave it some thought and eventually decided on a call to send them to a flop.

McEwen bet 85,000 on the Q♠9♠8♥ flop. Montejo chose to raise the price and went all in, which garnered a fold from McEwen to end the hand.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Cary Katz raised to 33,000 from late position only to face a three-bet from Richard Pyne on the button to 80,000. Katz went into the tank for a short while and then called.

The flop came 10♦K♦4♠, and Katz check-called Pyne's 50,000 continuation bet, and the dealer dropped the 7♣ as the turn card. Katz checked again, and now Pyne bet out for 125,000. Katz called.

Both players checked the 5♣ river, "King-six" said Pyne, and Katz turned over A♦K♥ for top-top and was pushed the monster pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

George Tomescu opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from the cutoff, which led to a call from Ignacio Sole from the big blind with not much left behind.

Sole checked the flop of 4♣K♠2♥ before Tomescu fired 16,000. Sole raised to 41,000 and was snap called by Tomescu.

Ignacio Sole: K♦4♦ All in
George Tomescu: A♣K♣

Sole was in trouble preflop, but he managed to not only outflop Tomescu, but do so in a way where Tomescu had a strong piece of the board.

The 2♠ turn and the 8♥ river were safe for Sole as he found a double against Tomescu.
