Day 1J: Bello Flops a set, Zamora Exits

Written by Kirk | Mar 9, 2025 7:36:09 AM

On a heads-up turn of 3♥J♠7♥4♠, Leobardo Zamora bet 75,000 into the pot of around 120,000 and Christoper Bello responded by ripping it all in for close to 375,000. 

This got Zamora to stand up and he began talking aloud as he pondered the decision. 

"You have a set?? I don't think you call that much preflop with 5-6... Man, I've been waiting ALL NIGHT for this hand!" He sighed heavily. "If you have a set, I have outs," he continued 

"Two outs," Bello replied. 

A few moments later, Zamora raised a chip high above his head and took one last look at Bello before he slammed it down to make the call. 

Bello then showed what Zamora feared, 3♦3♣ for a flopped set of threes, while he himself tabled what everyone expected, A♥A♦. 

The river 8♠ failed to provide Zamora with an ace and the huge pot was shipped over to Bello. 

Left short, Zamora fell to Sean Cha the very next hand. 

Bello - 840,000
Cha - 240,000
Zamora - 0
