Dorneles' Heater Continues

Frank Visser

Level 40 : Blinds 175,000/350,000, 45,000 ante

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles was the first to act and he made a raise to 717,500, which got called by "HemmingWai" in the next seat over. Next to act was "BOSStouche", sitting in the hijack, and they put in the squeeze three-bet to 2,450,000.

The action folded back to Dorneles, who four-bet shoved for 13,548,135 chips. "HemmingWai" found there to be too much action and folded before "Bosstouche" made the call to put Dorneles at risk once again.

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles: K♥K♦
"BOSStouche": J♠J♦

Dorneles was sitting on the higher pocket pair, but the 8♣10♥Q♥ flop brought some sweatiness in the form of a gutshot straight draw for his opponent. However, the board blanked out with the 5♦ turn and 3♥ river, and Dorneles soared through the ranks once more.

Level 40 : Blinds 175,000/350,000, 45,000 ante

Day 2 chip leader "2ndOnly2God" raised to 900,000 once it had folded to them on the button. Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas was in the big blind and made the call.

A flop of 4♠A♥9♥ was spread and "2ndOnly2God" continuation-bet for 675,000 after a check from Bujtas. Bujtas consequently made a raise for his entire stack of 2,020,920, and his opponent instantly called.

Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas: J♥7♥
"2ndOnly2God": A♣2♦

Bujtas was looking for a heart to beat "2ndOnly2God"s top pair, but he failed to hit one when the board ran out 6♠A♣. "2ndOnly2God" rivered trips and maintained his place on the upper regions of the leaderboard.

Meanwhile, some more eliminations happened on outer tables as this action-packed Day 3 has not slowed down whatsoever.

Dorneles Denies "3betwizkid" the Chip Lead

"magocapria27" made the first aggressive action with a raise to 630,000 from the cutoff. The button folded and "3betwizkid" shoved their massive stack of 23,447,009 in the middle, far and away covering the two other players left to act.

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles was in the big blind and went deep into the tank. Eventually, he came up with a call to risk his 10,281,810 stack and tournament life. "magocapria27", meanwhile, had seen enough and let their hand go, leaving the other two players to fight for a humongous pot.

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles: A♠J♠
"3betwizkid": A♦K♠

"3betwizkid" was in great shape to take a commanding chip lead over the field, and that remained the case once the 2♥5♣8♥ flop was dealt. However, the J♥ turn brought a role reversal, and Dorneles surely thanked his lucky stars when the safe 8♠ completed the board.

The 70 big blind pot headed towards Dorneles, while "3betwizkid" was relegated to the middle of the pack.

After the hand was over, the empty seats on the table filled up as "aferrao147" had busted on another table, leaving the field with 32 competitors and thus four tables.

Player	Chips	Progress
Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles	21,398,620 9,283,286	9,283,286
3betwizkid	13,175,199 -5,057,760	-5,057,760

Level 39 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 37,500 ante

Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado was leading the lobby when "Khrristian18" open-shoved for 3,948,108 from under the gun. Delgado was in the next seat over and made the call, while the rest of the table mucked their holdings.

"Khrristian18": 7♦7♠
Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado: A♠Q♥

Delgado was looking to extend his chip lead with another scalp, but instead, he fell down a few spots on the leaderboard when the 5♣2♥6♠10♣3♣ board was fanned out across the virtual table.

"Khrristian18" doubled up while three other players lost their respective all-ins on outer tables.

Level 39 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 37,500 ante

"aferrao147" made the minimum raise of 600,000 from middle position and the action folded to Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov in the big blind. Filatov was left with just shy of ten big blinds and decided to wager his entire 2,960,600 stack by clicking on the all-in button. "aferrao147" made the call and the players were off to the races.

Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov: A♥K♠
"aferrao147": 8♦8♥

Another flip in the Main Event, and, this time, the pocket pair held as the board ran out low cards with 6♣6♦4♣9♦2♣. That spelled the end for Filatov and one of online poker most recognizable names took his leave.

Sobrino's Four-Bet Results in His Demise

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

Diego "CHIQUIDEALER" Sobrino raised to 500,000 once the action folded around to him in the cutoff. "IReadB00ks" was in the big blind and opted for a three-bet to 1,750,000 before Sobrino four-bet jammed for 6,510,598, putting himself at risk.

"IreadB00ks" made the call for around half their stack and another preflop all-in was taking its course.

Diego "CHIQUIDEALER" Sobrino: A♣8♣
"IReadB00ks": 10♥10♦

Sobrino had tried to get "IReadB00ks" off their hand but had failed to do so. The K♥K♠J♦ flop brought some counterfeit hopes for the Argentinian, and the A♣ turn even saw him grab a commanding lead. However, the 10♠ river crushed his dreams as "IReadBooks" promptly upgraded to the best hand with a full house.

Meanwhile, "MakuFz" busted on another table to slim the field down even further.

Player	Chips	Progress
IReadB00ks	20,111,899 8,225,098	8,225,098

"DingeBrinker" Looking for Opportunities Elsewhere

Level 38 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

"pAYtAXiSnICE" opened the action with a raise to 500,000 from under the gun before "DingeBrinker" jammed all-in for 4,322,029 from the cutoff. "3betwizkid" then cold four-bet shoved from the big blind while covering both players, and "pAYtAXiSnICE" showed the A♥ before they let go of their hand.

"DingeBrinker": A♣K♥
"3betwizkid": K♦K♠

As it turned out, "DingeBrinker" was in dire need of the mucked card. The flop of Q♦J♣7♣ left them with some hope to win without an ace on the board, but the 6♦ turn and 9♣ river blanked out, and "3betwizkid"s kings held for the elimination.

"DingeBrinker" still has another shot at SCOOP Main Event glory, however, as they are still in the $10,300 High version at the time of writing.

Player	Chips	Progress
3betwizkid	18,232,959 13,736,508	13,736,508
pAYtAXiSnICE	7,331,286 -2,696,708	-2,696,708

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

"fank113" open-jammed his final 2,028,228 chips from the cutoff and the action folded around to "Geigamascht" in the big blind, who made the call.

"fank113": Q♣9♣
"Geigamascht": A♦10♦

"fank113" flopped top pair on Q♦5♦J♣, however, "Geigamascht"s many outs resulted in them being a slight favorite. One of them immediately presented itself on the turn when the 4♦ hit, and a bonus diamond fell on the 9♦ river.

"fank113" was flushed out of the tournament, as was Ramiro "ramastar88" Petrone on another table.
