Marquez Nearly Felted, Moves In Blind

We found PokerStars Team Pro Ana Marquez at the table following Spain's win in the Euro Cup. She had a bit of a frustrated look on her face and was preparing to leave.

She doubled an up an opponent while she held pocket kings. Arten Metalidi held two sixes and the board ran {J-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Marquez was left with just 225 after the hand.

She folded the next hand but after that one she moved in blind with her 125. The player in seat seven said, "I'll give you some protection," and raised to 400.

A third player called and the flop came {8-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades}. There was a bet and a fold and the hands were tabled.

Marquez: {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades}
Opponent: {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs}

The board completed {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} and Marquez chipped up to 650. She's still very low but is still alive.

Raymer Raking in Chips

Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

The action started on this big hand with the player left of the button bringing it in with a 25 chip. Greg Raymer then flicked out the same chip before a player raised it up to 350. Three players then called that raise, along with Raymer as it was five players to the flop.

Flop: {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

On the flop, four checks would see the last player to act bet 850. One player called, one folded, Raymer called and the other folded.

All three remaining players then checked the {8-Clubs} turn and did the same on the {5-Spades} river. At showdown, Raymer tabled {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}, which was enough to rake in plenty of chips to add to his stack.

Cajelais Loses One

Strolling past Erik Cajelais' table and there was a board showing {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Cajelais had checked to one player behind. There was around 2,000 already in the pot and the player bet 1,400 and after some thought, Cajelais called. His opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, with the trip twos strong enough to send Cajelais' cards into the muck.

Raymer Stays Active

Greg Raymer has been staying active during this level, taking down another pot, this time on a {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts} board against one opponent. We arrived at the table on the turn with Raymer calling a bet of 1,050 - there was well over 2,000 already in the pot.

On the river, both players checked and then Raymer raked in the pot with his {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.
