Maceiras Bubbles The Main Event

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Juan Maceiras Lapido
Juan Maceiras Lapido

Juan Maceiras was all in and at risk for his last 92,000 on the button against Jeffrey Hakim, who was in the small blind, on a flop of 947. When all the cameramen and media were in place, both players were instructed to reveal their hands.

Juan Maceiras: Q9
Jeffrey Hakim: 44

Macerias was in rough shape against a set, but the Q turn left Maceiras drawing live, much to the dismay of the remaining players who let out a collective groan upon hearing the news.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the A completed the board — eliminating Macerias on the stone bubble and guaranteeing all remaining players a min-cash of €8,850.

Lagodich Makes a Tough Call to Send Kaufman Out

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Brian Kaufman limped from middle position and Felipe Boianovsky limped behind from the hijack. Frank Lagodich then raised to 12,000 and both limpers called.

Action checked to Lagodich on the 8KQ flop and he bet 9,000. Only Kaufman called.

Both players checked on the 4 turn and then Kaufman shoved for his last 35,500 on the 5 river.

Lagodich went deep into the tank and eventually decided to call. Kaufman could only show J9. Lagodich turned over A4 for just a pair of fours and collected the rest of Kaufman's chips.

Labat Cracks Kings to Bust Nguyen

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Antoine Labat
Antoine Labat

Turbo Nguyen opened to 7,000 first-to-act and was called by Oshri Lahmani in the cutoff. Antoine Labat then squeezed to 24,000 on the button and Nguyen shoved for slightly more. Lahmani folded, but Labat quickly called to put Nguyen at risk.

Turbo Nguyen: KK
Antoine Labat: AK

The 107Q flop gave Labat additional outs to a straight and the A turn paired Labat's ace — leaving Nguyen drawing slim.

The 4 river changed nothing and Nguyen wished his tablemates good luck as he stood up from the table.

The board ran out Q7359 and the aces held for Astedt to eliminate Rosauro just before the break.

Tournier's Kings Cracked and She Hits the Rail

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Lali Tournier
Lali Tournier

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and it was Laurie Tournier at risk for 34,000 against Phillip Mighall.

Laurie Tournier: KK
Phillip Mighall: AQ

The AJ6 flop wasn't what Tournier wanted to see as Mighall flopped an ace to take the lead. The 8 turn changed nothing and the Q river improved Mighall to two pair as Tournier stood up from the table.
