Moshe Knocks a Player to the Curb

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 1,600 and the early position player and the big blind, Asi Moshe both called. The flop came out J♣4♠3♦ and Moshe checked, the player under the gun bet 7,000 and the early position player shoved all in for 17,000 and Moshe made the call.

Early position player: 3♣6♣
Asi Moshe: 2♥4♥

The early position player had a pair of threes and Moshe had the pair of fours heading to the turn. The turn and the river were the 2♦J♦ and Moshe had the best two pair with jacks and fours.

Moshe stated afterwards that the player had been super splashy the entire time he was at the table, hence why he made a loose call.

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of 7♣Q♣K♠8♠, the pot already had 30,000 in it when Bruno Pega moved all in, covering Vijay Ramani, who then went into the tank.

After a good while, someone called the clock, but he made the call soon after to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.

Vijay Ramani: 8♣10♣
Bruno Pega: A♣6♣

Ramani was actually ahead with his pair of eights on the turn, but the river A♥ gave Pega a pair of aces to win the pot, eliminating Ramani.

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The early position player and the cutoff limped, Michael Acevedo was on the button and punished the limpers by putting in a raise of 4,000 and was called by both players. The flop came out K♠6♣J♠ and the early position player checked and the cutoff shoved for 11,500. Acevedo made the call and the other player folded.

Cutoff Player: Q♦10♦
Michael Acevedo: A♦J♦

Acevedo was ahead with the pair of jacks but would need to sweat the straight draw. But in the end a pair of jacks won when the turn came the 3♣ and the river was the 8♦.
