Tamasauskas Busts Moraes

Alessio Sardone opened to 30,000 from middle position and Vladas Tamasauskas three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack. Rafael Moraes moved all in from the button for 650,000, folding out Sardone. Tamasauskas made the call to put himself at risk.

Vladas Tamasauskas: A♣K♣
Rafael Moraes: K♥K♠

Moraes was in good shape with pocket-kings and remained ahead on the 9♥8♣5♠ flop. That changed when the A♠ turn left Moraes drawing to one out. The case king never materalized on the 3♦ river and Tamasauskas took down a titanic pot while Moraes was left with under five big blinds.

A few hands later, Tamasauskas opened to 30,000 from early position and Moraes moved all in for his last 45,000 from the hijack. Hwany Lee three-bet to 95,000 from the cutoff and Tamasauskas four-bet to 280,000, folding out Lee to leave Moraes all in and at risk against Tamasauskas.

Rafael Moraes: K♦6♦
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♣5♣

The board ran out J♥4♣6♣K♥7♣. Moraes had made two-pair but Tamasauskas had rivered the nut-flush to send Moraes to the rail and take down another decent pot.
