David Erquiaga Shares His Winning Hands

Level 5: 300 / 600 ante: 600
David Erquiaga

David Erquiaga retells the action at the previous level where he claims two heads. The first one opens with a hijack raise of 1300 that's called by the button Kristian Wiermyr. Erquiaga three-bets from the small blind for 5500, hijack answers with four-bet of 17,000, Weirmyhr gets out of the way while Erquiaga jams. Hijack calls for everything and it's a flip.


Erquiaga has A K , hijack opens Q Q , the board drops blanks until the river ace.


Two orbits later, Erquiaga raises 1200 from hijack position, gets challenged by cutoff with a 3000 re-raise, Erquiaga four-bets 9500, and cutoff calls to take it to the flop. Both players check to the river J T 7 6 J . Erquiaga jams, cutoff is covered but risks it anyway and shows 9 9 . Erquiaga rails another player with A J trips.
