Francisco De Beláustegui
He came in with a thorn in his side. Just a few days ago, the Buenos Aires native had managed to finish ITM in Event #14 NLH 6-Max, but his run ended in 17th place when he pushed his chips with a combined flush and straight draw that didn’t complete. For that deep run, he added US$6,729, his 13th cash in the city that never sleeps. A good result, yes, but not enough for someone who always plays big.
Redemption for De Beláustegui came quickly
Last Sunday, in Event #20 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max Bounty for US$1,600, De Beláustegui showed his best version. The tournament gathered 77 entries and generated a prize pool of US$72,380. Francisco took all the chips, the trophy, and a prize of US$22,620 for the champion. As if that weren’t enough, he pocketed an additional US$7,500 after eliminating 14 rivals and protecting his own bounty. A festival within the festival.
