Valeriy Pak Runs Hot; Florencio Campomanes No Longer in the Mix

Jan 27, 2024

Valeriy Pak

The new level starts without Florencio Campomanes and he has a bad beat story to tell. Before the break, Campomanes loses a bigger pot to Kyle Bao Diep on which Campomanes min-raises and Diep defends the big blind.

Diep check-calls for 10,000 on the Spade JSpade 10Heart 7 flop before leading the Spade 9 turn for 17,500 and the Club 3 river for 61,000. Campomanes calls both times with the Heart QHeart 8 but Diep has the Spade KSpade 5.

Down to around 110,000, Campomanes three-bets an open raise of Valeriy Pak and then calls the four-bet shove with pocket kings. Pak only has pocket jacks but hits both remaining jacks on the flop!

Valeriy Pak – 475,000 (79 bb)
Kyle Bao Diep – 456,000 (76 bb)
Florencio Campomanes – Eliminated
