Double for Kaley, Addamo and Burns Chop
We passed by Petar Kalev’s table just in time to see the Bulgarian player snag a double-up at the expense of tablemate David Tang with the two players getting all the chips in pre-flop.
Kalev was the at risk player but seemed relaxed, his leading Tang’s and his serenity appeared to pay off when the board ran out to give him an unnecessary flush and the pot.
Fresh from his largest career victory in the HK$82,400 No Limit Hold’em Event Melbourne’s Mike Addamo will be wanting another deep run here in Macau but his stack is remaining static at present.
Addamo was in the midst of playing a sizable pot against fellow countryman Kahle Burns, who has also enjoyed some run good already this week taking a 4th place finish in the HK$400,000 Super High Roller.
We caught the action on the turn with over 35,000 out on the felt and the board reading just as Burns (big blind) checked the action over to Addamo on the button.
Burns was giving Addamo the eye, but that did not stop him from firing out a bet of 9,000 and a suspicious Burns grudgingly tossed in the call.
The river completed multiple backdoor draws and both players seemed content to check it down. Burns turned over and Addamo also had an ace, rolling over and both players chop up the pot.
