Cordobes Runs into Jacks as Mantovani Also Busts

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alexandre Mantovani
Alexandre Mantovani

Jose Cordobes held {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} but had run into the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} of Victor Caballero.

The board was {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Cordobes was eliminated.

Meanwhile, 888poker Ambassador Alexandre Mantovani had been short for a while and got his remaining chips in from the hijack and got two calls.

After Tom Orpaz forced out the other player on the {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop, the cards were turned over.

Alexandre Mantovani: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Tom Orpaz: {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The turn {10-Clubs} gave Mantovani a pair, but the river was the {k-Diamonds} giving Orpaz top pair and eliminating the Brazilian opponent.

"I don't understand how I got this deep in the tournament," he said after the hand. "My best hand was queen-jack for the first three hours. But we've still got two [888poker players] in, so we've got a sweat."
