Nível 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

The action folded to Alexander van der Swaluw in the cutoff who took a moment and then moved all in. The button and the small blind got out of the way and action was on Guillermo Gordo in the big blind who went into the tank. Eventually he called off with just 125,000 more than Swaluw.

Alexander van der Swaluw: A♠Q♣
Guillermo Gordo: K♣J♥

The K♠4♣5♥ flop sent Gordo into the lead but the dagger came on the turn when the dealer rolled over the A♥. The 2♠ river would not improve Gordo and he would be left with just 125,000.

The very next hand he was forced all in from the small blind and surprisingly the action folded all the way to Joris Ruijs who was in the big blind.

The cards hit their backs with Gordo all in and at risk.

Guillermo Gordo: 7♠2♥
Joris Ruijs: 5♣2♠

The full board ran out 9♠6♦6♣5♠3♣ and with another dagger on the turn, Ruijs hit a pair and Gordo was sent to the rail in 6th place.
