Vallinas Leaves Goncalves Short

Ryan Lashmar

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of A♣J♦10♦ and roughly 600,000 in the middle, Mathieu Goncalves checked from the big blind and Jon Vallinas bet 100,000 from the hijack. Goncalves clicked it back to 200,000 and Vallinas made the call.

Goncalves bet 200,000 on the 2♣ turn and was once again called by Vallinas.

Both players checked the 8♥ river. Goncalves tabled 2♦3♦ for a pair of twos and a missed flush draw while Vallinas showed down Q♣J♣ for a pair of jacks to take the pot while Goncalves was left with just over five big blinds.

Parmar Makes a Big Laydown

Ryan Lashmar

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Taran Parmar opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and Enis Rouissi shoved for 2,025,000 from the big blind, sending Parmar deep into the tank.

"It it a coin flip or no?" Parmar asked Rouissi. "Don't want to say anything?"

Rouissi remained silent as Parmar continued. "Every single person at this table calls with my hand".

Eventually Parmar folded J♣J♦ face up.

"You should have called" Rouissi told his opponent.

"Of course I should have called" Parmar replied as Rouissi took the pot.
