Grieco and Recuenco Martin Build Stacks

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Mariano Recuenco Martin just had two opponents at risk and came out as the winner in the showdown with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} versus {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} was almost as good as it could get for the Spaniard, and he sealed it with the {7-Diamonds} turn to leave both opponents drawing dead.

Stephan van den Wyngaert had been eliminated on the same table previously and Nicola Grieco also knocked out an opponent. David Flores Rita shoved for his last 11,400 with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Grieco called out of the big blind with {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. On a board of {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Grieco got there on the river and Flores Rita grabbed his belongings.

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Bonastre Rodriguez doubled, while Fabregas Capellas made the right fold with an unlucky outcome. The very next hand, the Spaniard had two short stacks at risk with {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} versus {A-Spades}{8-Hearts} and {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and the board came {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} to cut down the stack of Fabregas Capellas further.

United on Table One

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Josep Maria Galindo Lopez and Alejandro Espinosa Gutierrez were sat next to each other at their first table today and are now back together over on table one. The same table also features Laura Gallardo Ribot, Sally Stephens and Douglas Wheatland, and the latter just won a limped pot to boost his short stack slightly.

Wheatland limped from early position and the small blind filled up, Espinosa Gutierrez checked in the big blind. The flop of {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} was checked to Wheatland, and his bet of 6,500 forced two folds.

Grieco Shows the Bluff

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

One last hand was still going and there were some 28,000 in the middle with the flop showing {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Ramy Hadid checked in the big blind and Nicola Grieco moved all in for massive 99,600. Hadid had almost as much behind and started some table chat.

"I think you have something like ace queen suited." After several minutes in the think tank, Hadid folded his {K-Hearts}{7-Spades} with the words "Okay I fold, and you show." Grieco offered to flip over one of his two cards, but then changed his mind and smashed both right onto the table, it was a stone cold bluff with {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Day 1a Eclipsed

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

While the action at the tables has increased significantly, it was barely noticed that the total number of entries had grown as well. As it stands, there are 197 entries of which 120 remain, and that means the attendance of yesterday's first flight is already eclipsed with close to 400 entries in total already.
