Isle Open Event 1 (Day 2): "You Putting That On The Blog...My Wife Is Watching"

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 29 (Blinds 50,000/100,000/15,000)
Total Event 1 Entries: 1,239
Players Remaining: 21



Luis Santoni (Puerto Rico) sends out some love to his wife, who is following all of today's action on the blog.

With the blinds climbing seemingly every orbit, every pot is super critical at this point.  Moments ago at Table 2, Luis Santoni (Aguada, Puerto Rico) open-shoved for 605,000.  Action then folded to Larry Hirschfield, who re-shoved for less, followed by players folding to Will Oderat in the small blind.  Oderat took a lot of time before making his decision, eventually putting the chips on the felt for a call.  The big blind would release, and Oderat would have two players at risk.  

When the cards were tabled, Will would hold the best hand (8♣ 8), up against A Q (Santoni) and A♠ 10 (Hirschfield).  The 4♠ 5 7♣ flop only strengthened Oderat's lead, and after the K on the turn, he'd need to fade one last card.  Unfortunately for Oderat, the Q appeared on the river, giving the 1,500,000 pot to Santoni.  The poker veteran (Santoni) is now peaking for the day, and looking to make his first deep run in an Isle major in a long while.

Luis Santoni - 1,600,000
Will Orderat - 1,000,000
