From middle position, Juan Navarrete Azon raised to 600. Chris Lastiwka made the call from the cutoff seat and then Team PokerStars Pro and four-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu was up. He three-bet to 2,600 and the blinds folded to put the action back on Azon. Azon four-bet and made it an even 6,000. Both Lastiwka and Negreanu quickly folded and Azon won the pot.
With the flop of out in the middle of the felt, Alexandre Karguine checked and the next player checked to Anton Wigg. Wigg bet 950 and Karguine made the call. The third player then check-raised to 2,900. Wigg flatted that and then Karguine moved all in for 12,325. After the check raiser folded, Wigg called and showed the . Karguine held the and it was top pair and a flush draw versus the overpair for Wigg.
The turn brought the and the river the , which both nailed Karguine. First, he made trip queens to take the lead and second, he smacked a flush as the river completed the board. He won the pot while Wigg was left with just 18,000 in chips.
It's another hit to Daniel Negreanu's stack, but we just caught the last bit. The board read when we walked up, and Chris Lastiwka was putting out the last bet of 8,200 into a pot of about just more than that. Negreanu spent just a couple minutes in the tank, counting down his shortening stack to assess the potential damage. Finally, he splashed the call into the pot.
Lastiwa turned up for the full house, and Negreanu was beaten. It sounded like he said he had kings, but we can't be sure. Either way, it's another downward trend for Kid Poker as this last pot knocks him all the way back to 6,250.
Daniel Negreanu is back up to around 14,000 after more than doubling up.
Bob Stain raised to 600 and was called in two spots before Negreanu three-bet all-in for 5,850 from the small blind. Stain moved all-in as well to isolate and it worked.
We've lost another member of the Team PokerStars family as Fatima Moreira de Melo has just been issued her marching orders. We heard her relating the three-hand sequence to our Dutch colleagues, but we only understood about one-in-twenty words. If you're better versed in Dutch than we are, you can find the story here on the .nl blog.
If you're primarily English speakers like us, suffice it to say that the SportStar has been uitgeschakeld here on Day 1b after a series of unfortunate events toppled her chip stack.
Roberto Romanello starred in the TV episodes at EPT Barcelona last season on his way to a 39th place finish but he won't have that opportunity again this year as he's out. He never got his stack going in the right direction and seemed a little frustrated as things went against him. He'll be back though.
Edit: He came along to tell us he busted with flush under flush.
Action folded to Allen Bari and he opened with a raise from the hijack seat. Ivan Demidov reraised from the cutoff to 1,200 and play folded back to Bari. Bari four-bet to 3,000 and Demidov tanked. Eventually, he five-bet to 5,500. Bari only took a short period of time before six-betting things to 9,150. Demidov thought for another minute or so and then mucked his hand, allowing Bari to win the pot preflop with the six-bet.
With the bursting forth of the Party Rock Anthem over the loudspeaker, the fourth level has come to a close, and the players are off for another 20-minute break.
