Gurrea Fades The River to Eliminate Robles
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Miguel Gurrea raised to 2,000 from middle position and found one caller in Rafael Robles in the big blind.
Robles check-called a 2,300 bet from Gurrea on the 8?7?K? flop and then checked again to Gurrea on the 10? turn. Gurrea bet 8,300 and Robles shoved for 26,500 total, sending Gurrea deep into the tank. A tablemate eventually called the clock and the tournament director nearly counted down to zero before Gurrea stuck in a call to put Robles at risk.
Rafael Robles: 7?5?
Miguel Gurrea: K?J?
Gurrea was ahead with his pair of kings, but would need to fade a bevy of outs to eliminate Robles.
The 2? river bricked out for Robles and his remaining chips were added to Gurrea's stack.
