Unstoppable Gonzalez Rakes in Another Pot

Level 8 : 300/600, 70 ante

Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez have been the leader of the pack since the very beginning of the tournament, and the Uruguayan shows no signs of slowing down.

Gonzalez just won a sizeable pot with {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} against the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Canada's "ilovemckeown" on a queen high flop, and minutes later DrMiKee took out Germany's "KellerA" in an even bigger one. The players got it in on a {2-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop, Gonzalez with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and KellerA with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The board ran out {4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and Gonzalez is not up to 136,863 - more than four times the average stack.

Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov Doubles Up from Coinflip

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Canada's "marioallin" raised to 912 from middle position, just to find Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov reraise to 2,545 from the cutoff. The Canadian thought for a few seconds before committing his entire stack of 15,850 chips, and Vezhenkov called it off quickly.

"marioallin": {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Vezhenkov: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Already on the flop disaster struck for "marioallin", as it came down {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}. The turn {9-Diamonds} and the river {7-Clubs} brought no treys whatsoever, and Ukranian could rake in the massive pot.

The Rich Gets Richer

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

German player "b.szaszko" opened up the action preflop for 900 from the cutoff, before Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez made it 2,114 to go out of the small blind. "b.szaszko" quickly called, and the players checked through a flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The turn came {Q-Hearts} and prompted a bet of 2,000 chips from Gonzalez, which was yet again called by the German.

The {2-Hearts} river caused two checks, and Gonzalez' {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} was good enough to rake in the pot, which further solidified his chiplead.
