Micka Times Two

Ryan Fair opened to 46,000 in early position, Joel Micka three-bet jammed for 437,000 on the button, and Fair called.

Fair: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Micka: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Micka won the race as the board came {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}, doubling him to 928,000 chips. Fair is still among the leaders with 2.51 million.

Quintas & Eckert Hit The Rail

Dimitar Danchev opened for 40,000 only to have Jose Quintas shove all in from the small blind for 375,000. Danchev shrugged before making the call with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, which was well behind the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} of Quintas.

The {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs} wasn't overly exciting, but it did give Danchev chop outs along with runner-runner straight possibilities. What was exciting, at least for Danchev, was the {Q-Diamonds} that spiked on the turn to give him the lead. Neither he nor Quintas so much as flinched when the queen hit, and both remained calm as the dealer put out the {4-Diamonds} on the river.

Meanwhile, Timo Eckert was eliminated on the feature table, which means we're down to 23 players.

Serock Sent Off

Joe Serock - Eliminated
Joe Serock - Eliminated

George Clyde-Smith opened to 40,000 from the hijack seat, Joe Serock three-bet jammed for 370,000 from the big blind, and Clyde-Smith called.

Clyde-Smith: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Serock: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Serock had his bag on and was wandering away from the table as the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. He took a few more steps towards the door as the {k-Clubs} turned, and stopped briefly to shake a few hands, including Clyde-Smith's, when the {j-Clubs} completed the board.

Serock, who had two million chips at one point today, was eliminated, while Clyde-Smith now has 1.4 million.

Roy Can't Call

Jonathan Roy opened to 40,000 from under the gun, Jerry Wong called in the big blind, and the dealer fanned {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Wong checked, Roy continued for 42,000, and Wong called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, Wong checked again, and Roy fired a second bullet worth 114,000. Wong called.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board, and Wong checked a third and final time. Roy reached for chips, and slid out 242,000. Wong tanked for less than a minute, then moved all in for effectively 620,000.

Roy looked stunned.

The recent WPT winner removed his head phones, studied Wong, then looked at the board. He repeated this several times, until finally - roughly three minutes into the tank - he folded. When he went to muck his cards, the {6-Diamonds} flashed. Frustrated, he opted to turn over the other card - the {7-Diamonds}.

Wong didn't show either, rather he simply raked in the pot.

Blomlie Can't Shake Shatilov

Mikal Blomlie opened with a raise from the hijack, though we're not sure of how much. What we do know is that Andrey Shatilov called from the cutoff and the two saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}. Blomlie proceeded to bet 56,000, Shatilov called, and the dealer burned and turned the {A-Hearts}.

Again Blomlie bet, this time 151,000, and again Shatilov called. Blomlie then decided to give up on the {3-Clubs} river and checked. Shatilov did the same and tabled {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}, which bested the {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Blomlie.

Serock Straightened Out

Dimitar Danchev opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and Joe Serock called out of the big blind.

The dealer fanned {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Serock check-called a bet of 45,000. The {10-Diamonds} fell on fourth and Serock checked again. Danchev slid out a cool 100,000 and Serock stuck around once more. Fifth street was the {6-Hearts} and Serock checked for a third time. Danchev moved 227,000 into the center and Serock tanked before calling.

Danchev showed {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a king-high straight. Serock hung his head, mucked, and the pot was pushed to Danchev.

No Hesitation from Nogueira

Manig Loeser opened to 40,000 from middle position, Joao Nogueira three-bet to 87,000 on the button, and Loeser called.

The dealer fanned {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Hearts}, and Loeser checked. Quickly, Nogueira assembled 150,000 chips, and pushed them forward. Loeser eyed the bet, examined the board, and then pushed forward a tall stack of 30 blue T5,000 chips, making the call.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}, Loeser quickly checked, and Nogueira immediately began assembling a bet. With two hands, he shoved 300,000 across the betting line. Loeser tank-called once again.

The river was a repeat king - the {k-Diamonds} - and Loeser checked a third and final time.

"All in," Noguiera said instantly, wagering his remaining 350,000 chips or so.

There was a beat, and then Loeser flicked his cards into the muck. Noguiera proudly tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for a full house.
