Two Pair for Luiz "PheresAA" Feres

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Luiz "PheresAA" Feres initial stack was down to 13,604 when he called a raise to 270 in the big blind from 3omario78.

Pheres check-called a bet of 340 from his opponent on a {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. The Brazilian once again check-called, this time for 680 after the {A-Clubs} appeared on the turn. Both players checked when the {9-Hearts} completed the board and Feres won a pot of 2,720 after he turned over {a-Spades}{3-Hearts} for two-pair.

Pocket Rockets No Good for Chris "888Moorman" Moorman

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Chris "888Moorman" Moorman raised from late position to 350 and got a call from an opponent to his left before RichieLaNuit three-bet to 1,525. Moorman four-bet to 3,205 and after the flat-caller folded, RichieLaNuit five-bet shoved to cover Moorman's initial stack of 13,929. Moorman called and was well ahead with {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} to his opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Moorman quickly found himself behind after the {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} appeared on the flop. He was unable to get one of his two remaining outs after the board completed {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Moorman rebought into the tournament for a fresh stack of 15,000 chips.

Moorman wound up rebuying several times in Super XL Event #1, and his last bullet proved to be worthy as he catapulted this into a final table finish.

Luiz "PheresAA" Feres Chipping Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Luiz "PheresAA" Feres opened up for 500 from early position and got a call from 3omario78 from the big blind. Feres led out for 500 after the {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} appeared on the flop and got a call from his opponent.

Feres then fired out a lucky 888 chips after the {9-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and got a call. He then bet 2,896 after the {6-Hearts} completed the board on the river and once again got a call.

Feres was holding pocket jacks, which proved to be good enough to haul in a 9,893 pot after his opponent mucked his cards.
