Hey Pacheco

Filipe Pacheco
Filipe Pacheco
Filipe Pacheco was crippled in a hand holding pocket sevens. In a heads-up pot, the two men watched the flop come down {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. After a series of bets and raises, Pacheco's opponent ended up all in with {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. The turn and river were both hearts, and Pacheco was knocked all the way back under 1,200.

A few hands later, Pacheco was the one all in. He got the rest of his stack in on a flop of {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. He showed down {5-?} {7-?} for two pair, trying to survive against his opponent's {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. Pacheco faded the flush this time, and his two pair were good enough to double him back up to 2,375.
