Michael Gagliano Doubles Through Jason Rivkin

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Eli Ross opened to 1,500 from middle position, Jason Rivkin called from the cutoff, and Michael Gagliano three-bet shoved from the big blind for 16,000. Ross folded and Rivkin tanked for about 75 seconds before he called.

Rivkin: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Gagliano: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, keeping Gagliano well ahead. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}, giving Rivkin plenty of outs with an open-ended straight-flush draw. However, the river was the {5-Spades}, safe for Gagliano to double up.

Ramos Gets No Action With a Set

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Felipe Ramos raised to 1,300 from middle position, Eli Ross called from the hijack, Jason Rivkin called from the button, and Daniel Needleman called from the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and action checked around.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and Needleman checked to Ramos who shoved for about 10,000. The rest of the table folded, and Ramos flashed {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} as he collected the pot.
