Alomar Rivers a Straight

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Jaume Niell Alomar bet 1,600 with already about 4,000 in the pot after the flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} in a multi-way hand. Three players folded before Luca Marchetti called.

Alomar fired again for 3,200 after the {9-Clubs} appeared on the turn. It appeared Marchetti thought the bet was 5,200 based on how the chips were laid out and was surprised he got some change when he called.

Both players checked after the {j-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Marchetti was good most of the way with {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. However, Alomar took down the hand with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} after he rivered the nuts with a straight.

Parker Talbot

888poker Ambassador Parker Talbot has just joined the action following the first break. He seemed to be in good spirits on the way to his chair.

It seems Talbot is willing to gamble.

"I am ready to fire my first bullet," shared Talbot.

We told Talbot, "Well, hopefully, it only takes one."

"Hopefully, but this is a good tournament to fire in as many times as it takes," Talbot replied.

River Bet Wins Hand for Drozd

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Luca Marchetti reentered and is now at the same table as Sofia Lovgren. He is already getting involved in hands at his new table including one that just happened.

Ondrej Drozd opened for 300 before Luca Marchetti three-bet to 1,000. Claudio Daffina called from the big blind and Drozd called to complete the preflop action.

Daffina and Drozd checked the {Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop before they called a bet of 4,000 from Marchetti. All three players checked after the {3-Clubs} paired the turn.

Daffina checked again when the {2-Diamonds} completed the board on the river before Drozd fired out for 7,000. Marchetti visibly appeared frustrated and folded his hand and Daffina did the same.

Saliba Doubles

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Vivian Saliba
Vivian Saliba

Pascal Pflock opened from the hijack to 500 before Jose Maria Martinez Lazaro raised to 3,500.

Vivian Saliba, who earlier lost some chips, went into the tank and even used one of her time bank tokens before calling from the small blind. The action then folded back to Plfock who called.

It folded around to Lazaro after the flop came {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and he fired out for 6,900. Saliba, who had a little less than that remaining in her stack made the call and Pflock folded.

Saliba: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Lazaro: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Lazaro was a bit behind after the flop and needed help to win the hand. The {Q-Spades} and {6-Hearts} were both safe cards for Saliba and she doubled up to near a starting stack.
