Almagableh Sends Cervantes Home Early

Livello 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Rudy Cervantes raised to 20,000 from late position only to face a three-bet to 60,000 from Abdul Almagableh. Cervantes put in the call to see the flop come 9♦Q♥10♠.

Cervantes checked to Almagableh who continued with a bet of 60,000. Cervantes acted decisively in jamming for around 200,000 total and Almagableh quickly put in the call to set up a runout with Cervantes at risk.

Rudy Cervantes: 9♠9♣
Abdul Almagableh: A♥J♠

The 4♥ turn was safe for Cervantes' set of nines but the K♣ river completed the straight for Almagableh, sending Cervantes to the payout desk early in Day 2.

Horiuchi Takes It All to Gottlieb

Livello 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tom Gottlieb raised in the cutoff to 25,000 and faced a three-bet from Masato Horiuchi on the button to 63,000. Gottlieb decided to four-bet to 110,000 and after some thoughts, Horiuchi called.

The flop brought Q♥A♠9♥ and both checked to see a 5♣ on the turn. Gottlieb check-called Horiuchi this time for 75,000.

When the 6♠ hit the river, Gottlieb checked again and faced a shove from Horiuchi, putting him at risk for his last 110,000.

Gottlieb went deep into the tank and eventually called with K♣K♥, only to see A♦10♦ in Horiuchi's hands for a pair of aces and Gottlieb made his way to the exit.
