Calamusa Battles Back with a Triple Up
Pierre Calamusa opened to 60,000 from early position and picked up a call from Yassine Adib in the big blind.
The flop came A♣4♥Q♦, and Adib check-called Calamusa’s 75,000 bet.
On the 9♥ turn, Adib checked again, and Calamusa continued for 160,000. Adib then shoved for 420,000, and Calamusa made a quick call.
Yassine Adib: Q♣9♣
Pierre Calamusa: A♠K♦
Adib’s two pair held up even after the J♠ river, leaving Calamusa with just 110,000.
In the very next hand, Calamusa went all in under the gun and got calls from Vladislav Donchev on the button and Belarmino De Souza in the big blind. Both players checked the 5♠10♠K♥ flop.
On the Q♦ turn, De Souza fired 140,000, prompting Donchev to fold and sending it to a showdown.
Pierre Calamusa: 10♦5♣
Belarmino De Souza: K♣2♣
Calamusa flopped two pair, while De Souza had top pair and needed help from the river. The 8♠ came on the river, giving De Souza nothing and allowing Calamusa to triple up, keeping his tournament hopes alive.
