Reskallah Wins a Massive Pot

Nível 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The hand with Aladin Reskallah was picked up on the turn with the board showing and a player in the big blind checked.

Reskallah bet 15,000 and the big blind quickly called. The river was and the big blind led out with a bet of 80,000.

Reskallah tanked briefly before going all-in for about 100,000. The big blind quickly mucked not calling the extra 20,000 in the pot of already 180,000 and Reskallah scooped in the massive pot without a showdown.

Moreno Doubles Up in a Battle of the Blinds

Nível 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Johnnie Moreno was left with about five big blinds when it folded around to him in the small blind and he went all-in. The big blind called the 14,000 to put Moreno at risk for his tournament life.

Johnnie Moreno:
Big Blind:

Moreno needed to catch one of his live cards because his opponent also had hearts and the board would run out giving Moreno a nine on the flop to win the pot.

Moreno then said "My strategy is just to have the worst hand against you all the time" joking to the big blind as he scooped the pot.
