Caldas Shows Roberts the Exit

Stewart Morrison

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joining the hand with roughly 800,000 already in the middle and a flop showing 10♦4♠9♣, under-the-gun player Carlos Caldas moved all in, covering his opponent, Christian Roberts.

Roberts had 1,350,000 behind and went into the tank. After a few minutes of consideration, another player called the clock, which spurred Roberts into immediate action, making the call before the clock had even been enforced.

Christian Roberts: A♣10♥ All in
Carlos Caldas: K♥K♦

There was no help for Roberts on the 8♦ turn or the 6♦ river, sealing his fate and sending him to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Oren Rosen raised in middle position to 100,000, receiving calls from Ming Li, one seat to his left and the player in the big blinds.

The dealer spread a 2♦Q♣8♣ flop, and the big blind player checked. Rosen continued for 125,000, which met immediate resistance. Li moved all of her chips into the middle, totalling 1,425,000. The big blind folded, and action returned to Rosen.

Rosen took a moment to consider, but Li let him know that a minute is too long.

"I don't like when you take your time. Either call or muck your cards."

Rosen obeyed, folding his cards, but asked Li to show what she had. Li flipped over K♣9♣, showing that she had a flush draw.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ming Li	1,900,000 150,000	150,000

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Darin Harbick raised under the gun to 100,000 and was immediately met by a three-bet by Kristofer Kneale. Kneale, just one seat to his left, made it 240,000, and when action folded back to Harbick, he made the call.

The dealer flipped over a A♥10♣10♥ flop, and after a moment to survey the situation, Harbick moved all in for roughly 820,000.

Kneale snap-called and revealed the bad news.

Darin Harbick: A♠8♠ All in
Kristofer Kneale: A♦A♣

Harbick was drawing dead to running tens, but the 3♣ turn put any thoughts of an unlikely chop to bed.

The river 9♥ river was added to the board, but by that time, Harbick was already packing up his belongings to leave.
