Ortega Loses Back to Back
Hannes Jeschka opened from middle position, and Gustavo Ortega defended from the big blind.
On the 9♣7♣A♣ flop, Ortega check-called a continuation bet of 50,000 from Jeschka.
The action repeated on the 10♠ turn, with Jeschka firing 175,000 and Ortega calling again.
Both players checked the 5♥ river. Ortega showed J♠J♣, but Jeschka had A♥Q♦ for a pair of aces, taking down the pot.
One hand later, action folded to Timur Margolin on the button, who opened to 80,000. Ortega called from the small blind.
The J♣10♥5♣ flop saw Margolin continue for 75,000, and Ortega made the call.
After the 7♥ turn, Ortega checked, and Margolin fired 460,000, with Ortega calling once again.
The K♦ river completed the board. Ortega checked for a third time, and Margolin bet 175,000. Ortega called, but his opponent revealed K♥2♣ for a rivered pair of kings, which was enough to win the pot and leave Ortega shaking his head.
