Cesar Fuentes raised under the gun to 120,000, and Arkadiy Tsinis called from the big blind.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Kd2s2c8s, Tsinis checked, Fuentes bet 100,000, and Tsinis called.

The river card was the 3h, Tsinis checked, Fuentes bet 275,000, and Tsinis called. Fuentes showed Kc9c to win the pot with two pair, kings and deuces, and Tsinis mucked.

A little while later, Tsinis raised from the cutoff to 125,000, Fuentes reraised from the button to 355,000, and Tsinis used one of his Time Chips to tank for nearly a minute before he moved all in for 1,475,000.

Fuentes thought for a bit before he called with JhJd, and Tsinis turned over AsKs. Tsinis needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qs10d3s10hQh — Tsinis flopped a flush draw with a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. The pocket jacks held up for Fuentes to win the pot as he eliminated Tsinis in 11th place.

“Hell of a hold,” said Danny Fuhs.
