Jon Gurrutxaga Jams Into Yotam Bar Yosef; Justin Ligeri Eliminated

Mar 11, 2019

Justin Ligeri is no longer in contention as he first called off in a bigger pot and then lost with tens against the pocket queens of Jon Gurrutxaga. Soon after, Gurrutxaga clashed with Yotam Bar Yosef. Gurrutxuaga three-bets preflop from 700 to 2,600 and the call of Bar Yosef follows.

On the Spade 9Diamond 8Diamond 2 flop, Gurrutxuaga bets 2,200 and gets raised to 8,500, which the Spaniard calls. After the Heart K turn, Gurrutxuaga then check-raises from 13,500 to 29,000 in order to pick up a call before moving all in for more than 50,000 on the Diamond Q river.

Bar Yosef reluctantly folded and shows his Heart 2Club 2 for bottom set.

“You can show the king of diamonds,” Bar Yosef added and sure enough he was shown that exact card by Gurrutxaga.

Jon Gurrutxaga – 155,000
Pierre Calamusa – 120,000
Yotam Bar Yosef – 90,000
Justin Ligeri – Eliminated
