Here Comes XTheDecanoX

Thiago Nishijima
Thiago Nishijima

We've been trying to catch Thiago "XTheDecanoX" Nishijima in a hand all day with little luck . . . until now. It wasn't much of a hand, but Nishijima, who won $249K in a 2009 WCOOP event, was in action. It happened when an unknown player in the cutoff raised and Nishijima defended from the big blind, creating a pot of around 2,900.

Nishijima checked the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, as did his opponent, and the dealer burned and turned the {Q-Diamonds}. This time Nishijima led out for 1,100, which was enough to win the pot. With that, the online pro was up to 35K!

Small Pot For Csome

Picking up the action on a {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, Leandro Csome and an opponent checked to see the {10-Hearts} turn. This time, Csome check-called 1,000 from his opponent. The river delivered the {5-Hearts} which both checked quickly.

Reis Loses One

We're not sure of the details, but we just saw Flavio Reis paying off an opponent, dropping about 10,000 in the process. Reis had {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} out in front of him on a board of {3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}, while his opponent held {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. It didn't appear to be an all-in hand, but the result is the same . . . Reis lost some chips.

Solano Doubles

Miguel Solano
Miguel Solano

Picking up the action on a {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop in a five-handed limped pot, Miguel Solano raised all in for 9,075 after a player bet 3,000. After the others folded, the bettor called and revealed {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, drawing live against the {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} held by Solano.

Luckily for Solano, the {10-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river kept his bottom pair as the best hand to win the pot.

Barbero Eliminates Gomez

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Wilmer Gomez moved all in for his last 3,700 and watched as two of his three opponents folded. Unfortunately for him, Nacho Barbero called from the big blind and was ahead.

Showdown

Barbero{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Gomez{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Barbero held two pair, which improved to a full house on the {6-Clubs} turn. Gomez needed a ten on the river to keep his LAPT dreams alive, but it was not meant to be as the {9-Hearts} blanked. Gomez was eliminated from the tournament while Barbero chipped up to 18K.
