Nightmare Flop For Sasson
We saw a huge cooler when Pacheco raised vs straddle with Q♠Q♣ and got called by Sasson with J♠J♥. Everybody folded, and they went to flop Heads-up.
And the flop comes J♦3♣Q♥, which is an absolute disaster for Sasson as he flopped a weaker set than Pacheco. Pacheco c-bets for $3,000, and Sasson calls. The pot is $14,100.
Turn comes 6♦, and Pacheco bets again for $10,000 and gets raised to $60,000. After some thinking, Pacheco goes all-in and gets snap-called for a total of $175,000.
They ran it twice, but two percent of equity was not enough for Sasson as both rivers bricked, and Pacheco won a pot of $365,100.
When it Rains it Pours
In the next hand, we saw Sasson open limped for $1,000 and got two callers and a squeeze to $10,000 from Robl with 7♠7♥. Suvarna(A♥8♣), Tilly(K♦2♦) and Sasson(9♠8♦) called, flop comes 10♣6♣J♦, and the pot is $43,100.
Everybody checks. Turn comes J♥, Robl bets $10,000, and only Sasson calls with open-ender. The pot is $63,100.
River 7♦ is the worst possible card in the deck for Sasson as he hits the straight but has zero chance to win since Robl has hit the full house.
Robl puts him almost all-in with a bet of $150,000, and Sasson says, “Am I going home broke, really?” he calls and can’t believe his eyes.
Pacheco Flops Another Monster
Pacheco raises to $3,000 with K♥10♥ from SB and Tilly three-bets to $10,000 from the BB with A♦J♣; Pacheco calls, and the flop is 10♠10♣10♦ giving him Quads. Tilly c-bets for $15,000, Pacheco calls, and pot is $51,500.
Turn comes 3♦, Tilly continues with a $25,000 bet, Pacheco min raises to $50,000, Tilly calls. The pot is $151,000.
Fortunately for Tilly, the river is K♣, and she only has ace-high. Pacheco bets $100,000; Tilly decides to save some money and folds.
