Dvoress and Mateos Win Small Pots

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daniel Dvoress raised it up to 5,500 on the button and Timothy Adams called from the big blind. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Adams check-called a bet of 5,000 from Dvoress. The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and Adams folded to a bet of 28,000 from Dvoress.

At the other table, Pascal Lefrancois opened to 5,500 in the cutoff and was called by Adrian Mateos on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind. All three players checked through to the river with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Mateos finally flicked in a bet of 6,500 which forced Lefrancois to use a time bank but decided to fold as well.

Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

In a three-bet pot, Sam Greenwood and Tom Orpaz went heads-up to a flop of {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Greenwood checked to Orpaz who bet 20,000 into a pot of around 45,000 and Greenwood called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Greenwood checked again. Orpaz made a bet of 45,000 and Greenwood shoved all in which prompted a fold from Orpaz.

On the next hand, Orpaz open-ripped all in for around 70,000 from under the gun and Greenwood quickly called in the big blind.

Tom Orpaz: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Sam Greenwood: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The flop fell {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Greenwood flopped a set of kings to leave Orpaz drawing dead. The {q-Spades} on the turn just added insult to injury as Orpaz exited the tournament area.
