Revizada Eliminated as Outs Don’t Come

Nível 6 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Ronnie Revizada entered Level 5 as a short stack, but that didn’t curb his enthusiasm.

With less than 4,000 to start a hand, Revizada, who was in late position, found himself in a hand with a player to his immediate left and Dennis Kim, who was in early position on a flop of A♥J♠10♣.

Kim led out with a bet into Revizada, who raised. The player to his immediate left and Kim called. The turn produced 9♦, which Kim checked. Revizada then made an all-in bet with his remaining chips. The player to his immediate left called, only to face Kim’s raise, which forced a fold.

“Did you flop a straight?” Revizada asked.

“I have a set,” said Kim, who tabled 10♠10♥.

“I have outs!” Revizada exclaimed as he tabled A♠9♥.

With action to the river, Revizada needed one of the two remaining Aces to hit the board. The 9♦ came on the river, giving Revizada a full house and false hope.

“I hit my outs!” Revizada exclaimed.

His joy, however, quickly disappeared as he realized he held an inferior full house to Kim’s 10s full. Revizada took the beat in stride and wished the table well before exiting the event space.

Brenes’ Defense of Big Blind Pays Off

Nível 5 : Limits 500/1,000, 0 ante

A button raise didn’t deter two-time WSOP bracelet winner Humberto Brenes, who sat in the big blind and elected to defend after the small blind folded.

With heads-up action, the flop produced A♥Q♦7♣ for the two players. Brenes checked, and the player on the button bet, which Brenes immediately called to bring the action to the turn, where the 6♦ hit the board.

Brenes checked, leading to the player on the button to bet once again, only to see Brenes quickly check-call a second time. The dealer then placed 3♥ on the river, and both players checked down the action.

Brenes tabled A♦8♣, and the player on the button tossed his hand face down to the dealer, who pushed the pot to Brenes.
