Double Trouble; Shimizu and Keating Give Some Away
Hand 1:
Nozomu Shimizu raised to 600,000 from late position and was shoved on by Alexandros Kolonias directly to his left. When it folded back around to Shimizu he made the call and the table was quick to needle him for his gamble.
Nozomu Shimizu: 9♥3♥
Alexandros Kolonias: K♠Q♣
The board pulled Shimizu ahead with the 10♠7♣9♣ and he was preemptively thanking the dealer, as the turn arrived the safe 4♠, but when the J♦ came it gave Kolonias the nut straight and another crucial double.
Hand 2
Marcello Delgrosso made the mistake of going to muck his hand before the dealer and table informed him that it was his big blind. As soon as it happened Alex Keating was quick to say, "That's going to cause a shit storm," and when it folded to him he went ahead and raised to 600,000.
It got back to Delgrosso and he kicked in a call, to which Keating said, "Really?"
Heads up they saw the flop of 7♣5♠4♣. Big blind checked and Keating quickly announced an all in which Delgrosso bemoaned before making the call.
Marcello Delgrosso: Q♥7♦
Alex Keating: Q♣4♠
Keating realized the bad news, as they both shared the queen but Delgrosso had the better pair. Keating picked up a flush draw on the 6♣ turn but it never came when the 9♥ bricked out on the river.
Delgrosso's mistake paid off handsomely for him in the end.
