Baali Raises River

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

In a limped pot to the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, action checked through to the {2-Spades} turn. Humberto Lopes Galindo bet 500,000 from the big blind and was called.

He then fired for 500,000 on the {6-Clubs} river. Fouad Baali raised to 4,000,000 and Galindo frustratingly folded.

Gerard Rubiralta was down to just 1,500,000 after the previous hand and pushed all in on the button. Fouad Baali shoved all in from the small blind and the cards were face up.

Gerard Rubiralta: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Fouad Baali: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Baali solidified his lead with the pocket jacks. The {6-Clubs} on the turn gave Rubiralta some extra outs but the {k-Diamonds} on the river was not one of them.

Humberto Lopes Galindo, who started the hand with 8,150,000, opened to 800,000 from the button. Gerard Rubiralta then jammed as the big stack from the small blind. Fouad Baali quickly folded from the big blind and Galindo called.

Humberto Lopes Galindo: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Gerard Rubiralta: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop took away some of Rubiralta's outs and the {5-Spades} turn left him drawing dead. The {q-Diamonds} completed the board and Galindo became the massive chip leader.
