Ricardo Andrade Bubbles Day 1f of FPS Main Event

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ricardo Andrade was all-in and at risk versus Igor Zolotukhin on the bubble.

Ricardo Andrade: AK
Igor Zolotukhin: KK

Andrade had been unfortunate to run Big Slick into pocket aces.

Zolotukhin had a sweat after the J97 flop gave Andrade a flush draw, but the 10 turn and 10 river were bricks to send the unfortunate Andrade to the rail.

Vrakas Busts Ylitalo

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Robin Ylitalo jammed all in for 120,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Evgeny Sirotenko who called. Georgios Vrakas went all in over the top for over 200,000. Sirotenko tanked before folding.

Robin Ylitalo: A10
Georgios Vrakas: QQ

The 10J6 was safe for Vrakas's pokcet pair, and he held through the 3 turn and 9 river to claim a big pot just before the bubble. Sirotenko claimed to have folded tens for what would have been the winning hand.

Miquel Busts Niste

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn of QA39 which was checked around. Mihai Niste had gone all in preflop with a short stack.

The river A saw Dalfo check to Ramon again, who elected to bet 105,000. Dalfo went into the tank for a minute before folding. Ramon tabled KQ for the nut flush and Niste showed 102 for ten high. Niste wished the table luck before departing.

Vasilev Claims Two

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Eduardo Pereira
Eduardo Pereira

Dmitrii Vasilev had opened to 20,000 and Taehyun Hwang had moved all-in for 50,000.

Eduardo Pereira was in the big blind and produced a four-bet jam for around 150,000. Vasilev quickly called to put both his opponents at risk.

Taehyun Hwang: 66
Eduardo Pereira: AK
Dmitrii Vasilev: AQ

Hwang looked in decent shape for a potential triple up, but the 59Q flop put Vasilev into the lead with a pair of queens, and he didn't relinquish it on the 29 runout.
