Colillas Cracks Aces to Bust Monroig

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Ramon Colullas
Ramon Colullas

The cutoff opened to 1,200 before Ramon Colillas made it 3,500 on the button. Michael Monroig then moved all in for around 10,000 in the small blind. The cutoff mucked and Colillas hesitantly called.

Michael Monroig: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Ramon Colillas: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Monroig immediately stood up and said "Oh boy," as the hands were exposed. The {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop gave Colillas an open-ended straight draw which immediately came on the {8-Spades} turn. The {10-Diamonds} river completed the board and Monroig left the table in disgust as Colillas dragged in the last of his chips.

It's been quite the spin-up for the PokerStars Ambassador as he had just 19,000 chips at one stage on Day 1d.

Prianos Put In Tough Spot

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Ashley Frank opened to 1,000 from early position and was called by Ying Zhao in middle position as well as Marios Prianos on the button.

Frank checked on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and Zhao led out for 1,600. Prianos made the call while Frank folded to send the two players to the turn.

Zhao continued her aggression on the {k-Hearts} turn, firing off 9,600. Prianos responded with a raise to 9,600 only to be met with all in shove for 31,300 from Zhao. The jam sent Prianos into the tank. He pondered over his decision for quite some time, asking the dealer to count out the shove before calculating how many chips he would have left if he called and was wrong. Ultimately he did commit calling chips to put Zhao at risk.

Ying Zhao: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Marios Prianos: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}

Both players had made two pair but Zhao's was better, putting her in a good position to get the full double. The {4-Clubs} river changed nothing, bringing Zhao back up above starting stack while putting a large dent in Prianos' stack.

Dobrin's Jacks are Good

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Jeffrey Dobrin raised to 1,100 in the hijack before Ryan Smith three-bet to 3,300. The button and blinds got out of the way before Dobrin made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {k-Spades} on the turn.

Dobrin checked to Smith who made a bet of 2,500 and Dobrin called.

The {10-Hearts} fell on the river and once Dobrin checked, Smith quickly checked back. Dobrin tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Smith whipped his hand into the muck.

Ausmus Gets Knockout with Set

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Jeremy Ausmus
Jeremy Ausmus

Altynai Fung raised it up to 4,300 preflop, getting the small blind, under-the-gun player, and Jeremy Ausmus, in early position, to come along for the ride.

On the {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, action checked back to Fung, who continued for 14,000. The small blind and under-the-gun players got out of the way, putting the action on Ausmus. He thought for a bit, before tossing in a raise to 50,000, enough to put Fung all in. She thought only briefly before pushing her chips into the middle, making the call.

Altynai Fung: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Jeremy Ausmus: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Fung had flopped top pair, but that was no good against Ausmus' middle set. She would need some help to stay alive, but none would come on the {q-Spades} turn or {3-Hearts} river. Ausmus' set was still best, and he scooped the pot while Fung left the table.

With 4,000 in the middle on a {4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{k-Diamonds} board, Gabe Ramos bet 1,500 from late position and was called by the button.
