Elmer Kalaquian
One of the familiar faces in action to the Gods of Poker Taipei Main Event is Philippine player Elmer Kalaquian who was at GOP’s debut in Jeju last month where he came close to the title in 5th place for his largest career cash of around ~US$ 31,228. Now in Taipei, he has unfinished business as he seeks to close it out this time around.
Catching Kalaquian in a hand, he three-bet from small blind and Rudy Edenata defended his initial raise from under the gun. At the flop 7 ♥️ 7 ♠️ Q ♠️, Kalaquian led for 7,000 and Edenata paid to see the turn 5 ♥️. Kalaquian fired again that quickly earned him the pot with Edenata sending his cards to the muck.
