DeAlmeida Back At It
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Fresh off a seventh-place finish in Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack, Manuel "Manny" DeAlmeida didn��t waste time to engage in another tournament.
He found himself in heads-up action against a late position player and a growing pot after the flop, which showed 8?4?8?. After checking the flop, his opponent bet 1,200, and then DeAlmeida check-raised to 3,500, which received a call.
The turn showed A?, which prompted DeAlmeida to bet 2,500 and his opponent called. The river produced 7? and DeAlmeida bet 5,000 into his opponent, who took a few moments before calling.
��Trips,�� DeAlmeida said as he tabled 9?8?.
His opponent mucked the hand and the pot was awarded to DeAlmeida.
