Debauris Deividas Ships a Family Pot

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

The hand began with a player limping under the gun before Debauris Deividas raised from one seat over to 1,025. Roland Rozel called from the button as did the players from the blinds and the limper.

The action was checked to Deividas after the flop came {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and he led out for 2,300. Rozel called and the other three opponents folded.

Both players checked after the {A-Spades} appeared on the turn before Deividas fired for 10,000 after the {K-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Rozel folded to ship Deividas a healthy pot. There was some confusion as to whether he wanted to show the table one of his cards. Eventually, he pointed to one and the dealer turned over the {6-Clubs}.

Palacios Wins With Queen-Jack

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught up with Aasa Elisabeth Holmberg during the dinner break who explained to PokerNews that since many people have trouble pronouncing her name, they wind up calling her awesome.

She thus far has had an awesome start but just lost a hand after the dinner break.

Holmberg opened to 1,200 from early position and got a call from Oriol Gregori Palacios from the big blind.

Palacios checked the {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop before he called a continuation bet of 2,300 from Holmberg.

Both players checked after the {8-Spades} appeared on the turn before Palacios bet 3,000. Holmberg let about half her time bank wind down before she called.

Palacios collected the pot after he turned over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for top pair and Holmberg tossed her hand into the muck.

Puterman's Tens Are Good

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player limped from early position and Kontis Miltiadis limped along. Ariel Puterman jacked it up to 2,100 from the small blind and both his opponents called.

Puterman bet 2,600 on the [scksas] flop. The opening limper folded before Miltiadis called. Both players checked after the {q-Clubs} appeared on the turn and the {q-Diamonds} paired the board on the river.

Puterman turned over {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for two pair which apparently was good enough since Miltiadis tossed his hand into the muck.

Daniel Hoy-Nielsen Wins it on the Flop

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Ireland's Daniel Hoy-Nielsen has just one cash outside of his home country and it came in a tournament at this very casino last September for his biggest live tournament cash to date.

He is off to a good start thus far. In a recent hand, he three-bet a pot to 4,100 from the big blind and got three callers. After the player in the small blind checked, Hoy-Nielsen bet 6,000 on the {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop.

All three of his opponents quickly folded to give Hoy Nielsen a quick boost to his stack.
