Gonzalez Busts Gill and Daniels

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Robert Gill was facing the prospect of losing half of his stack to the big blind and ante, and he moved all in from under the gun. Cody Daniels then moved all-in over the top for around 330,000, and behind them, Andres Gonzalez called and put both at risk.

Robert Gill: 9♥6♣ All in
Cody Daniels: J♥J♠ All in
Andres Gonzalez: A♠A♥

Before the cards were flipped over, Daniels used his one-time, but all hope of an even deeper run evaporated on the A♣8♦2♠ flop. The 9♠ turn left both shorter stacks drawing dead ahead of the 5♦ river, and the table broke right after.

One year ago, Daniels finished in 635th place, surpassing that result with a 590th place for $32,500.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A pot of around 400,000 was already in the middle as Christopher Frank and Alejandro Lococo went heads-up to the river on a board of 2♠A♦Q♥10♣2♣. Lococo then slid forward a tower of chips, enough to put Frank all in.

Frank tanked for several minutes until he called for his last 520,000. Lococo showed K♠J♠ for the nut straight and Frank went to muck his hand, but the dealer retrieved A♣10♠ before Frank made his exit.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nacho Barbero opened from middle position to 40,000 and was three-bet by the button to 110,000. Randy Perkins was in the big blind and shoved for 215,000, then Barbero announced a four-bet of 320,000, which got the button to fold.

Randy Perkins: 8♥8♦ All in
Nacho Barbero: A♣Q♣

"Flipaments," said a player at the table.

Indeed it was a flip and it went Barbero's way as he paired his ace on the 5♦K♠A♥J♦3♦ runout, which eliminated Perkins.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Brandon Cantu raised to 40,000 in late position, the player on the button flatted, and Tyler Montoya three-bet shoved all in from the small blind for 405,000, putting himself at risk. Cantu got out of the way, and the button made the call.

Tyler Montoya: A♥K♦ All in
Button: K♠Q♠

The flop came 8♠9♦2♦, with Montoya still in the lead. The J♠ rolled off on the turn, giving the button additional outs with flush and straight possibilities. The river card was black, but it was the J♣, securing Montoya the double-up.

"It's always a sweat," said Montoya as the dealer counted the chips and pushed the pot his way.
