Villamarin Gets a Tough Fold From Saaskilahti

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Lauri Saaskilahti opened to 250,000 from middle position and called a three-bet of 875,000 from Carlos Chadha Villamarin in the small blind.

Villamarin checked on the 7J7 flop and Saaskilahti bet 600,000. Villamarin then moved all in for 3,200,000 — sending Saaskilahti deep into the tank.

After a few minutes, Villamarin laid his hand down and said, "Show the bluff," to Saaskilahti, who quietly slid his cards into the muck face down.

Terrance Reid
Terrance Reid

Terrance Reid had open-raised under the gun when Giuseppe Pantaleo three-bet to 720,000 in the hijack. Reid responded with a four-bet to 1,400,000 which Pantaleo clicked back to 2,080,000.

Reid spent a good while in the tank before he called. Going to the 97Q flop, Reid checked, and Pantaleo bet 650,000. Reid quickly moved all in for about 2,900,000, and Pantaleo snapped him off with the covering stack.

Terrance Reid: KQ All in
Giuseppe Pantaleo: AA

Reid was drawing thin as Pantaleo covered his flush draw. The A turn left Reid drawing dead, and he said his goodbyes as the meaningless 6 river rolled off.

Kyle Scott opened to 240,000 from under the gun and Rami Hammoud three-bet to 960,000 in the big blind. Scott called.

Hammoud continued for 500,000 on the flop of J79 and Scott called. Both players then checked on the 10 turn.

Both players checked again on the 6 river and were shocked when they saw each other's holdings. Hammoud showed AA as Scott muttered, "I should have been stacked," before showing a no-good KK.

"You're freerolling now," Hammoud told him.

Thomas Clack: A10 All in
Arturas Astrauskas: AQ

"How is it possible?" Astrauskas bemoaned when he saw his opponent had flopped trips.
