Cabrera Celebrates Good Times
In the hijack seat, Jesus Cabrera raised to 50,000 straight, and Tam Ly wanted to play for more. Next door, he three-bet to 150,000 total, sending the action back around to Cabrera. He responded with a four-bet shove for 448,000, and Ly was right there with the covering stack and the call to put his man at risk. Cabrera was none too concerned:
Cabrera:
Ly:
The flop provided Ly with a few more outs as it came to give him a gutshot. The turn was a blank, though, and so was the river to lock up the double for Cabrera. And boy, did he ever love that. Cabrera shot out of his chair and exploded in celebration as he made a long lap around the room shouting.
"Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. That's the one we were looking for. That's the one! What you think I move all in with there? Huh?? Of course I have it! That's the hand, baby!"
That is indeed the hand... baby. Cabrera's big double up puts him all the way up over 900,000. He's surpassed Ly now, though the loser of that pot is still left with about 775,000 chips with which to stave off the field.
