Lococo Busts With Top Pair
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
It was blind v blind, as Alejandro Lococo open-limped into Gabriel Nobrega, who checked in the big blind.
The flop came 2?A?8?, and the PokerStars Pro led for 2,000. His bet was raised by Nobrega, who made it 6,500 before seeing a call.
Lococo slowed down, checking the 9? turn. In contrast, Nobrega continued the aggression, betting 13,500. Lococo, who was the stack at risk, quickly moved all in and the Brazilian snap-called.
Alejandro Lococo: A?7?
Gabriel Nobrega: A?2?
Lococo's tournament life was at risk, with his top pair running into Nobrega's two pair.
There was no salvation for Lococo on the river, with a 6? completing the board and sending the Argentinian to the rail.
