Ace-king is one of the most difficult hands to play in poker. Many pros won't even play it, while other over value the hand.
Martha Eneida Herrera Gonzalez opened with a raise and Marcelo Giorgetta quickly reraised. Martha tanked for a few minutes before she folded face-up. Marcelo Giorgetta didn't show his cards but he insisted that he was ahead.
We didn't see the hand go down but we saw the dealer pushing a massive pile of chips to Dominik Nitsche, who eliminated David Mormoyle and took down a pot that boosted his stack to 220,000.
The seven tables in use are packed into a fairly tight area, and in that fairly tight area are three video crews, a dozen or so photographers, a platoon of floor staff, a few humble reporters, etc. And every time a player goes all in there's a mad rush to the table to record the action. Which is my way of saying that it's a bit chaotic out there.
Two players are already gone. I missed the Diego Allan Gartner Ferrer hand, however, I caught the Jose Cassano hand in progress. He was all in preflop against Angel Guillen.
Angel:
Jose:
The board ran out and Angel Guillen won the pot. Jose Cassano headed to the rail.
