Paredes Wins Big Pot Versus Damasco
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The board read A♠8♦8♣7♦3♦ when this hand was picked up on the river. Rommel Damasco opted to go all-in from the hijack, and Victor Paredes made the call to put himself at risk.
Damasco showed A♥Q♥ for aces up, but he would be very disappointed when Paredes tabled K♦J♦ for a rivered flush to take in the huge pot that doubled Paredes to 2,165,000.
Farzad Abbaszadeh and Michael Hughes were both eliminated at other tables to trim the field down to 22 players.
