Vecino's Bluff Can't Get Past Ferreira

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jean Ferreira opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Juan Carlos Vecino three-bet to 160,000 in the cutoff. Ferreira called and the two players saw a flop of {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

They both checked to the {10-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Diamonds} on the river. Ferreira led out for 200,000 and Vecino shoved all in for 755,000. Ferreira thought for a moment and then called. Vecino tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} but it was no match for the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} of Ferreira.

Salter Folds to Moraes' Shove

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jack Salter opened to 50,000 from the hijack and Rafael Moraes defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Moraes checked. Salter bet 45,000 and Moraes check-raised all in for about 425,000. Jack Salter, with 340,000 behind, gave it some thought but opted to let it go.

Ayras Eliminates Velasevic

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Danilo Velasevic
Danilo Velasevic

Danilo Velasevic was one of the shortest stacks still remaining and he pushed all in for around 200,000 in early position. Pauli Ayras made the call on his left and the rest of the table folded.

Pauli Ayras: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Danilo Velasevic: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

Velasevic held a pocket pair but Ayras had plenty of opportunity to connect with the board. Indeed he did, by hitting a pair of jacks on the flop and Velasevic was unable to catch up.

Melogno into Chip Lead

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Pablo Melogno
Pablo Melogno

Oleh Okhotskyi had checked a pot of around 800,000 on a board of {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} to Pablo Melogno, and the Uruguayan announced a bet of 485,000.

Okhotskyi had come into the day as the chip leader, with Melogno as the shortest stack, and the Ukrainian used the last two time extensions he had before calling.

Melogno showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a flopped full house and Okhotskyi nodded before mucking his hand.

Khamidullin Takes Back From Melogno

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Timur Khamidullin raised to 70,000 from the small blind and Pablo Melogno called from the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and both players opted to check to the {j-Clubs} turn. Khamidullin checked once more and Melogno bet 45,000. Khamidullin check-called.

The {9-Hearts} filled up the board and Khamidullin checked for a third time. Melogno bet 185,000 and Khamidullin called. Melogno tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} but that wasn't good enough as Khamidullin revealed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} to win the pot with kings and jacks.

Bardon Comes Out on Top vs van Zadelhoff

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Manuel Bardon O'Shea
Manuel Bardon O'Shea

The action folded to Steven van Zadelhoff in the small blind who made it 65,000 to go. Manuel Bardon re-raised to 200,000 in the big blind and van Zadelhoff shoved all in for 916,000. Bardon made a quick call and the cards were on their backs.

Manuel Bardon: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Steven van Zadelhoff: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Bardon was in a dominating position and the flop of {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} didn't change anything. The {6-Clubs} on the turn left van Zadelhoff drawing to three outs and the {9-Hearts} on the river was not one of them.
