Shehadeh Gets Value from Garcia

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

Carlos Garcia Rodriguez saw his stack plummet below three million after barely playing any hand, and raised to 250,000 with the {K-Spades}{J-Spades}. Luigi Shehadeh just called with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} on the button and the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop was checked by both players.

Garcia Rodriguez checked the {10-Spades} turn and called a bet worth 290,000 by Shehadeh before the {9-Clubs} fell on the river. Garcia Rodriguez checked and reluctantly called a bet worth 625,000 by Shehadeh to see the bad news and take a big hit to the stack.

Right after that, the players went into a quick five-minute break and the blinds will go up in the next hand.

Gonzalez Wins Twice but Hall Hero Folds

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

First, Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez made it 600,000 with {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and then, sensationally, Carlos Garcia Rodriguez folded pocket jacks! Hall folded too, but what a let-go from Rodriguez.

Secondly, Lopez opened in first position to 250,000 with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Hall called with {A-Spades}{4-Clubs} in the big blind. The flop of {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} looked a dangerous one and when Gonzalez led out a c-bet for 300,000, Hall made the call. The turn of {8-Diamonds} saw Hall check-fold on the turn, perhaps the exact right move when it would have been easy to get all-in on the flop, according to commentators David Tuchman and Jesse Sylvia.

The Italian then limped in with {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Cate Hall checked her option with {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Shehadeh checked the {Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop and folded to Hall's bet.

One hand later, Shehadeh raised to 275,000 on the button with {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Lopez Gonzalez defended the big blind with {K-Spades}{9-Spades}. The duo checked the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop before the {3-Clubs} turn saw Lopez Gonzalez check-call a bet worth 240,000.
