On a recent Hustler Casino Live Stream, we saw how Mariano felts King Henry in a $100/$200 ante game.
Henry looked down to A♣️J♣️ with $60,400 in his stack in the High-Jack and open-raised to $500. Wesley with A♠️ 3♥️ and a monstrous stack of $350k+ made a 3-bet of $1,500. Mariano with $92,500 in his stack looked down at two red kings. This is a dream scenario, and Mariano took advantage. He made a 4-bet of $6,000. This triggered Wesley to fold. Just when we thought the pre flop action was over, Henry came over the top with a 5-bet of $16,000. Mariano, holding the second best hand in Poker pre-flop shoved all-in for the effective stack of Henry. Henry called and they went to the flop with a pot of $122,700, agreeing to run it twice.
In the first run-out, the flop came down 5♦️K♠️A♦️, although Henry flopped top pair, it was still a bad flop. By the ace coming on the flop at the same time that Mariano hit top set this burned one of Henry’s outs. Henry did not hit a runner-runner miracle. This secured at least half the pot for Mariano.
The second board flopped 7♠️10♥️10♦️, which changed nothing and Mariano was still far ahead. With the 3♦️ and Q♠️ on the turn and river, which were bricks for Mariano took down the second board as well.
