Pinho Calls it Down

Henrique Pinho

We picked up the action on the flop in a three-way pot as the dealer spread out {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {K-Spades}. Anders Wessman checked from the big blind, and Henrique Pinho — who appears to have been the preflop raiser — checked as well. Nacho Barbero set out 3,100 into a pot of just less than 7,000. Wessman called, but Pinho check-raised to 8,900 total. That folded Barbero with some reluctance, but Wessman tanked for several minutes and called.

That brought the to the {9-Spades} turn, and now the action froze on Wessman. After another couple minutes of deliberation, he announced that he was all in. Pinho asked for the count, and when he heard the dealer announce the 23,500, he cut the call from his stack and slid it into the pot. Wessman was at risk, and he was on the come.

Showdown
Wessman: {3-Spades} {6-Spades}
Pinho: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Wessman was drawing to the flush and the straight, but he couldn't find an out on the river. The {A-Clubs} dropped off the deck to secure the pot and the knockout for Pinho. He's moved up close to 75,000 with that win, while Wessman has been sent to the showers. Or wherever one goes when they miss a big draw to bust an EPT Main Event.

The bar, perhaps.
