Arroyos Back at the Helm

Level 36 : 600,000/1,200,000, 0 ante

Tim Andrew completed in the small blind and called when big blind Pete Arroyos potted for 3,600,000.

They saw the {3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} hit the felt and both checked to the {5-Diamonds} turn. Andrew checked again but Arroyos fired a pot-size bet of 7.2 million. Andrew immediately called.

The {5-Diamonds} river was quickly checked through and Arroyos announced two pair, showing {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

"Two pair is good," Andrew said and mucked.

Freeroll for Cicchelli

Level 36 : 600,000/1,200,000, 0 ante

In a three-way limped pot, Robert Chicchelli and Tim Andrew checked the {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop and Pete Arroyos potted for 3.6 million on the button.

Cicchelli tanked for about two minutes and then raised all in for about 8 million. Arroyos called and they both showed the eight-high straight.

Cicchelli, however, had {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} and was freerolling against {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

"Yeah, baby. Freeroll!" Cicchelli shouted in excitement, hoping to scoop the pot.

"Spade one time!" he continued.

The {2-Clubs} changed nothing and neither did the {8-Diamonds} river, leaving the pot split between Cicchelli and Arroyos.

Andrew Takes the Lead After Doubling Through Arroyos

Level 36 : 600,000/1,200,000, 0 ante

Tim Andrew made it 2.8 million under the gun and Pete Arroyos accepted the price in the small blind. The {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} flop was checked but Arroyos fired the maximum bet on the {10-Spades} turn. Andrew fairly quickly cut out calling chips and slid them forward.

The river was the {K-Clubs} and Arroyos placed in a tower of chips, covering Andrew's remaining 7,325,000. Andrew called, showing the nuts with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Arroyos' hand was thrown in the muck.

Andrew doubled to just over 35 million and took over the pole position from Arroyos.

Arroyos Can't Pull the Trigger

Level 35 : 500,000/1,000,000, 0 ante

Pete Arroyos limped on the button and Robert Cicchelli potted in the small blind, making it 4,000,000. Big blind Tim Andrew got out of the way but Arroyos snap-called.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Cicchelli announced he was all in for 4.8 million. Arroyos spent over two minutes contemplating his decision and eventually figured out that his hand wasn't good enough to match the price.
