Escote Triples

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sergi Escote moved all in for 10,700 and was called by Eduard Munoz Martin before Raul Garcia Moreno moved all in from the small blind. Munoz Martin folded and the cards were turned over.

Sergi Escote: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Raul Garcia Moreno: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The jacks held up, not without a sweat though, as the board came {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and Escote moved back above starting stack.

Players on Break

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The remaining 100 players from 170 entries are on break for 15 minutes. We'll be back at the tables when they are.

Galino Doubles With Quads

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jorge Galino and Helder Da Silva went at pre-flop when Galino opened to 2,500, and then called the raise of 6,000 from Da Silva. The flop of {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} saw Da Silva move all-in and Galino called.

Jorge Galino: {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Helder Da Silva: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The turn of {10-Spades} led to calls from Da Silva for a a "chop?" but the river came a {7-Clubs} meaning it was quad sevens to survive for Galino!

Da Silva, suddenly vocal and wishing to discuss how fortunate Galino had been, drops a little but remains ahead of his tablemate. You'd never know it.

The Field Thins Out

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

According to the screens, there are just 100 players remaining out of 169 entries. Alec Toreli was last spotted with some 25 big blinds, but those have since vanished. Peter Jaksland also stood up from his seat and simply said "queens against ace-king". Whether or not the Dane will re-enter today or get some sleep and attack again on Day 1c tomorrow remains to be seen.
