Villamarin Coolered Out By Little
Jul 16, '13
Carlos Villamarin just raised to 11,000 and Jonathan Little defended his big blind. The flop brought 35K and Little checked to Villamarin who bet 30,000.
Little check-raised to 75,000 and Villamarin decided to come back over the top to make it 150,000 total.
After some tanking Little shoved all in and Villamarin made the call.
Little tabled A9 for the flopped nuts and Villmarin was drawing to running straight flush cards with 68.
The turn brought the 8 and the river the 9. Villamarin’s hand did not improve and he lost all of his 400,000 chips. Little is now sitting on around 960,000 and he’s firmly in second place behind Martin Hanowski.
