Tamasauskas Busts Moraes
Alessio Sardone opened to 30,000 from middle position and Vladas Tamasauskas three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack. Rafael Moraes moved all in from the button for 650,000, folding out Sardone. Tamasauskas made the call to put himself at risk.
Vladas Tamasauskas: A?K?
Rafael Moraes: K?K?
Moraes was in good shape with pocket-kings and remained ahead on the 9?8?5? flop. That changed when the A? turn left Moraes drawing to one out. The case king never materalized on the 3? river and Tamasauskas took down a titanic pot while Moraes was left with under five big blinds.
A few hands later, Tamasauskas opened to 30,000 from early position and Moraes moved all in for his last 45,000 from the hijack. Hwany Lee three-bet to 95,000 from the cutoff and Tamasauskas four-bet to 280,000, folding out Lee to leave Moraes all in and at risk against Tamasauskas.
Rafael Moraes: K?6?
Vladas Tamasauskas: A?5?
The board ran out J?4?6?K?7?. Moraes had made two-pair but Tamasauskas had rivered the nut-flush to send Moraes to the rail and take down another decent pot.
