Big Stack Dalfo Battle

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On the river of a board {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, big stack Ladislao Dalfo Battle made it 20,000 to go and his opponent quickly called. Dalfo Battle showed {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a set of queens and his opponent mucked ace-trey in disgust. The Catalan appears to be among the current chip leaders in level seven.

Tammel Busts Pisano

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way turn of {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Tarmo Tammel called a bet by Ricardo Pisano in the blinds and a cold-caller remained in the hand also.

Pisano then jammed the {3-Hearts} river for the last 6,200 and picked up one call. Tammel raised to 15,000 and Pisano already sighed, as if he knew his fate. The third player in the hand reluctantly folded and Pisano turned over {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a straight, but indeed Tammel had the goods with {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a full house.

"Thank you, bye bye," Pisano said on his way out.

Evard Joins the Big Stacks

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Francois Evard
Francois Evard

Jesus Cortes and Francois Evard are among the big stacks at half time in level six and the latter just knocked out Andrea Manzoni.

It started with a raise by Manzoni from under the gun and the Italian picked up one cold-caller. Evard three-bet the button and Manzoni four-bet, which forced out the third player in the hand. Evard made the call and that created a pot of 17,000 to the {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Manzoni bet 5,100 and Evard called to see the {q-Spades} on the turn.

Manzoni jammed for 11,400 and Evard snap-called.

Andrea Manzoni: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Francois Evard: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {7-Clubs} river was a blank and the Swiss claimed a very healthy pot.
