Arrocha Takes Two

Mario Navarro Arrocha opened to 6,000 from cutoff and Dylan Linde defended the big blind.

The pair saw a 9♠5♥8♥ flop, and Linde check-called a 6,000 continuation-bet by Arrocha for 6,000.

The A♣ turn was checked by both to see the 3♠ river, and again to get to showdown. Arrocha turned over J♣8♣ for a pair of eights, which was enough to take the small pot against Linde's 10♣6♥, having missed his flopped straight draw.

In the next hand, Arrocha opened to 6,000 from the hijack, and Pavel Plesuv defended his big blind. A 10♥J♥9♠ flop was check-called by Plesuv after Arrocha asked for 6,000.

The A♥ was turned, and Arrocha saw Plesuv call his 20,000 bet. After the dealer placed the 3♥ completer, both checked to get to showdown.

Arrocha showed 8♠8♥ and took down another pot, having rivered the flush. Plesuv's straight with 8♦7♠ didn't hold up.
