Monster Pot for Gonzalez Before the Break

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Carlos Gonzalez
Carlos Gonzalez

Carlos Gonzalez raised to 2,800 from the late position and was called by Jacob Horowitz in the cutoff. Steve Pappas three-bet to 12,500 on the button for the blinds to fold. Gonzalez called and Horowitz folded.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}, Gonzalez check-raised the 18,000 continuation-bet of Pappas to 35,000 which Pappas called.

The turn brought them the {9-Spades}, Gonzalez bet 35,000 again and now Pappas shoved for Gonzalez to snap-call.

Steve Pappas: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Carlos Gonzalez: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Pappas held the overpair but Gonzalez had turned the nut-flush. Gonzalez cheered loudly when he saw the cards as Pappas was drawing dead.

The river completed the board with the {7-Hearts} as a formality as Pappas was sent to the rail and Gonzalez jumped into the chip lead.
