Gonzaga Turns a Flush; Gets Little Value

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ryan McAllister raised it up to 160,000 in the cutoff with the A?9? and was called by Edwin Dela Cruz with the A?10? out of the small blind, Terry Gonzaga also called with the 9?2? out of the big blind. No chips were invested on the 10?7?3? flop and the 4? turn improved Gonzaga to a flush.

Dela Cruz bet 150,000 and Gonzaga raised it up to 500,000 for McAllister to snap-fold. Dela Cruz mulled it over for a minute and folded his top pair and top kicker.

William Teoh Eliminated in 6th Place (PHP1,184,000/$21,385)

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
William Teoh
William Teoh

The action folded to the short stack William Teoh on the button, who jammed for just 295,000. Alessandro Taranto in the big blind was the last player to act and Teoh joked "no look call" to the Italian, who glanced at his cards and then indeed called.

William Teoh: A?6?
Alessandro Taranto: Q?9?

Taranto took the lead on the 9?8?2? flop, then locked up the pot with the Q? turn to make the J? river a formality. Teoh's roller coaster ride ended in 6th place for PHP1,184,000 ($21,385)
