Majed Joins; Loses a Bunch Right Away

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Alexandre Mantovani
Alexandre Mantovani

888poker Stream Team member Rene Majed completed the line-up of ambassadors on the same table and immediately clashed with Alexandre Mantovani. A potentially even bigger pot was avoided when both checked the {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} river. Majed tabled the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the flopped top pair and flush draw but Mantovani raked in a pot of more than 14,000 with {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of aces and busted nut flush draw.

Majed got some of the chips back when he raised it up from under the gun and fired one bet on the {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. Simon Paparone called and then check-called another 2,100 on the {3-Clubs} turn and both checked the {k-Hearts} on the river. Paparone turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} but Majed held the superior pair in {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Saliba Joins the Fray

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Vivian Saliba joined Day 1a of the Main Event, which is a bad sign for her run in the €5,300 Super High Roller as that meant she had already been eliminated. Dan Cates, in the meanwhile, entered the biggest buy-in of the series.

Upon sitting down, Saliba took a short video and picture of fellow Brazilian 888poker ambassador Alexandre Mantovani, who can be found on the same table.

Zarans Wins Showdown Pot off Dogra Dogra

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Harcharan Dogra Dogra squeezed to 2,200 on the button and was called by Kristaps Zarans in the cutoff as the duo headed to the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop. Both players checked and did so again on the {a-Hearts} turn.

Small Pot to Mantovani Right Away

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

The 888poker ambassador Alexandre "Cavalito" Mantovani was among the first to sit down and came along out of the small blind when facing an open raise to 300 by the player first to act on a short-handed table. Both opted to check the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop and Mantovani then led the {8-Diamonds} turn for 200.

That was enough to drag in the pot as his opponent quickly folded. Mantovani was then also successful with a three-bet from 300 to 1,500 as no further resistance followed.
