Lucky Lady Keeps Camarda in Contention
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gonzalo Almeida opened to 16,000 first-to-act and Ting-Yi Tsai called from the hijack. Salvatore Camarda then shoved for his last 43,000 from the small blind and Almeida made it 85,000 to go. Tsai let his hand go and a showdown was held.
Salvatore Camarda: Q♥Q♦
Gonzalo Almeida: K♥K♣
Camarda got up from his seat and started collecting his belongings as the dealer dealt out the A♦9♣7♣ flop and 8♦ turn. However, the Q♣ appeared on the river — providing Camarda with a winning set and sending him back into his seat.
