Manley Continues to Slip

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Csaba Borsos raised to 2,200 in early position and picked up four callers along the way including Josh Manley. The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Borsos continued with a bet of 2,500 which only Manley called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Borsos sized up with a bet of 10,500 this time. That was enough for Manley to ditch his cards as the two players are heading in opposite directions.

Lappin Flops a Set of Deuces

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

David Lappin was heads-up with the small blind with the board reading {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and around 12,000 in the pot. Lappin had a bet of 5,000 in front of him and the small blind check-raised to 12,500 which Lappin called.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and the small blind threw in a bet of 21,000. Lappin pondered his decision for a moment but opted to just call. His opponent turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for two pair but it was no good as Lappin held {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a set of deuces to claim the pot.

Garcia Takes Out Fernandez

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Victor Fernandez
Victor Fernandez

Jesus Garcia opened to 2,500 in middle position and Omar Del Pino three-bet to 7,500 in the cutoff. Victor Fernandez four-bet shoved all in for 25,300 from the small blind. Garcia flat-called and Del Pino quickly mucked as the remaining two hands were tabled.

Victor Fernandez: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Jesus Garcia: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Fernandez required some help but the flop of {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} provided nothing of the sort. The {6-Clubs} and {9-Clubs} runout were bricks as well and Fernandez was eliminated.

Franco Finds the Dream Scenario

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

David Lappin raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Miguel Franco three-bet to 7,500 in the hijack. The small blind four-bet shoved all in for 64,600 which put Lappin in the tank for a minute before relinquishing his cards. Franco snap-called and the cards were on their backs.

Small Blind: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Miguel Franco: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

It was a great sight for Franco who had his opponent drawing extremely thin. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Franco's aces held on to eliminate his opponent and vault him near the top of the leaderboard.

Romero Still Surging Ahead

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was a raise to 2,400 from under the gun and Alex Romero flat-called from the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and they went heads-up to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

Both players checked through to the {k-Diamonds} on the turn and the {10-Spades} on the river. Romero finally announced a bet of 8,000 on the river and his opponent looked him up. Romero tabled {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for a rivered straight and raked in another pot.

Huge Double-Up for Cortes

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gerard Cortes
Gerard Cortes

Three players went to a flop for 8,000 apiece and the dealer fanned the {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} across the board. Gerard Cortes led out with a bet of 5,400 and the button raised to 15,000. The action was back on Cortes who jammed all in for 70,800. His opponent asked for a count and then called to put Cortes at risk.

Gerard Cortes: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

It was looking promising for Cortes who flopped a set of threes but the {j-Clubs} on the turn made things interesting. However, the {8-Diamonds} on the river was a brick and Cortes breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's more fun this way," Ian Simpson laughed on his left.
