$1,100/$500K: Augusto Vargas Takes One Out

$1,100 SHRPO Big 4 Event (Re-Entry)

Level 5:  200/300 with a 300 big blind ante
Entries: 281

UTG+1 moved all in preflop for 1,300, the cutoff called,  Augusto Vargas called on the button, and the small blind called as well. The flop was dealt QcQh3h, and the cutoff bet 2,000. Vargas raised to 5,000, the small blind folded, and the cutoff called.

Both live players checked the Kh on the turn, and the river delivered the 6d.  Vargas bet 4,000, and the small blind folded. UTG+1 turned over JdJc, but it is not enough to top the 10h9h of Vargas. UTG+1 is eliminated, and Vargas stacks up 30,000 after the hand thanks to a flush.

The flop read Jd6c3c  when Darryll Fish bet 800 from the button. Jason Lang check-raised to 1,800 from the small blind, and the big blind folded. Fish reraised to 5,800, and Lang called before the turn fell 9c.

Both players checked to the 8s on the river, and Fish bet 5,000. Lang called with the Js8h in the hole, and that was enough to top the Jh6h. Lang held 31,000 after the hand, and Fish was left with 8,300.
