Livello 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Alexandros Theologis and Shaun Deeb were heads-up in a pot with around 30,000 in the middle already. The board read 6♦5♣2♠9♦ and Theologis checked from middle position. Deeb was on his left and sized up a bet of 15,200 which Theologis called.

The river was the 3♣ and Theologis thought for a minute before tapping the table. Deeb pushed out his entire stack of around 30,500, putting Theologis back in the tank. After another minute passed, Theologis laid his hand down and Deeb flashed his A♠A♥ to the table.

Lucky River For Dawood

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Fazel Dawood opened from the hijack, and was called by Benoit Grobocopatel on the button and by the big blind.

On 5♥K♥10♣, the big blind checked, letting Dawood bet another 3,200. Grobocopatel called, but not the big blind.

The 7♣ came on the turn, and Dawood continued with a big bet of 22,000. In front of him, Grobocopatel moved all in. Dawood took a long moment, and called.

Fazel Dawood: A♠A♣
Benoit Grobocopatel: 10♥7♥

At risk, Dawood could only hope for a miracle as his aces were beaten by Grobocopatel's two pairs. And Dawood's prayers have been heard, as he hit the K♠ for two better pairs.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Yen Chen	195,000 195,000	195,000
Fazel Dawood	124,000 124,000	124,000

Action checked to Ortega on the flop of J♦2♣4♣ and Ortega continued for 2,600. The big blind folded and Gold check-raised to 6,200. Ortega folded and tapped the table in defeat as the 2006 Main Event champion showed the goods with the J♣.
