Aaron Barone raised to 6,200 on the button, Jordi Conejos moved all in from the small blind, and Barone called for 82,300.
Aaron Barone: A♦A♣
Jordi Conejos: A♥Q♣
Barone showed down a pair of aces and was a big favorite to double up as the 3♠4♠Q♦ flop gave Conejos some hope with top pair. The K♥ turn was safe for Barone, while he secured the double up once the 8♠ fell on the river.
Iwan Molina raised to 7,000 on the button, Ricardo Mateus moved all in for 31,000 in the small blind, and Molina called.
Ricardo Mateus: A♦9♣
Iwan Molina: Q♣Q♦
Molina had woken up with queens to leave the 888poker team member at risk, then spiked top set on the Q♥9♠4♠ flop to leave Mateus drawing incredibly thin. The rest of the board ran out 10♠6♦ and Molina took the pot to send Mateus to the rail, boosting his stack up past 300,000.
Pere Estatuet raised to 6,500 under the gun, the cutoff moved all in for around 20,000, and Estatuet called.
All-In Player: A♠9♠
Pere Estatuet: A♥Q♦
Estatuet had his opponent dominated going to the Q♣7♦6♦ flop, which gave him top pair and an even bigger lead in the pot. The rest of the board ran out 2♥5♥ and Estatuet sent his opponent to the rail.
A player in early position raised to 7,000, Jaime Rueda moved all in for 52,000 in the hijack, and his opponent called to put him at risk.
Jaime Rueda: A♣Q♠
Opponent: 9♦9♣
It wasn't a race situation for long, as Rueda flopped the nut straight on J♠K♠10♣. The rest of the board came 8♠10♦ and Rueda doubled up.
Albert Rus moved all in for 38,500 under the gun as action folded around to Jack Hardcastle, who called all in for around 35,000 in the small blind.
Jack Hardcastle: K♦Q♥
Albert Rus: 7♦7♠
Hardcastle couldn't connect with the 8♣3♠6♥J♠10♠ board to lose the coin flip as he was sent to the rail for the second time today.
Ian Simpson was also recently eliminated on his second bullet of the day.
Level: 12
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Heads-up on a flop of K♠3♦4♦, Tiago Luis bet 17,000 from the small blind and [Removed:516] called in the hijack.
The turn was the 10♥ and Luis bet another 37,000. [Removed:516] took a minute before moving all in for 65,000, and Luis snap-folded.
Despite dropping that pot, Luis has built up his stack past 300,000 and is in contention for the chip lead.
A player under the gun moved all in for 20,400 and Fotios Panagopoulos called in the cutoff.
All-In Player: A♥K♣
Fotios Panagopoulos: 9♥9♣
It was a race situation, and Panagopoulos could come out ahead as the 3♣6♣7♦6♠2♦ board provided no help to his opponent and sent him to the rail.
