James Calderaro

Andrew Barfield opened to 350,000 from the cutoff and James Calderaro three-bet to 825,000 from the button. Barfield called and both players checked the QsQh4h flop. The turn was 3h, Barfield checked, and Calderaro bet 500,000.

Barfield check-raised to 1,500,000 and Calderaro called. The river was Ah and Barfield moved all in. Calderaro would be at risk for about 2,900,000 if he called but he elected to fold while showing KsKh.

Soon after, he was heads up with Andrew Davidson and moved all in for 2,425,000 with the board reading Jh6c3h7s. Davidson called and Calderaro was at risk.

Davidson: 9h6d
Calderaro: AdJs

Caldero was ahead with his paired jack and held for his double after the Ac river.

James Calderaro – 7,325,000 (49 bb)
Andrew Davidson – 7,325,000 (49 bb)
Andrew Barfield – 11,700,000 (78 bb)
