Event 36: Luis Ortiz Doubles Thru Nicola Davimos

$1,100 Triple Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Prize Pool:  $911,800  |  Structure  |  Payouts
Level 26:  25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 ante
Players Remaining:  20 of 940

With the board showing Kh9d7hQc on the turn and 1,725,000 already in the pot, Luis Ortiz moved all in from the hijack for 1,185,000.

Nicola Davimos tanked for a very long time before she called from the button with KsJh for a pair of kings with a gutshot straight draw. But Ortiz turned over 7s7d for a set of sevens, and he needed to avoid a ten on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 2h, and Ortiz won the pot with his set of sevens to double up in chips.

Luis Ortiz  –  4,095,000  (82 bb)
Nicola Davimos  –  165,000  (3 bb)

With 20 players remaining from a field of 940, the average chip stack is around 1,410,000 (28 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $7,400 each.

There will be a 45-minute dinner break after this level (around 9:05 pm), and action is scheduled to continue tonight until they reach a winner.
