It went check/check and Gilson bet 420,000 after the 3h river. Fernandez tossed out a single chip to call, then had to pay the full amount when Gilson tabled As9h for the nine-high straight.

Haim Toorgeman

Haim Toorgeman opened to 75,000 and Zach Mullennix three-bet to 240,000. Nick Avena thought about coming along from the button but he folded along with the blinds behind.

Toorgeman confidently put in all his red 100K chips for a 900,000 four-bet leaving a little more than 500,000 behind. Mullennix mulled it over for a few minutes then moved all in. Toorgeman quickly called for 1,540,000 total, he was at risk but in great shape.

Toorgeman: KsKh
Mullennix: QcQs

A cooler for Mullennix and the board ran clean AcJh4h7d8s to send the big double to Toorgeman.

“I told you I was going to double through you,” Toorgeman told Mullennix after the hand.

Haim Toorgeman – 3,155,000 (105 bb)
