Big One for Severino

Jose Severino fired a hefty bet of 38,700 on the final board of {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. His opponent, Akira Ohyama, tanked for a couple of minutes and then tossed in the chips to make the call. After he did, Severino tabled the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a full house, tens full of eights. Ohyama mucked his hand and dropped all the way back to 35,000 while Severino climbed amongst the leaders with 175,000.

Strong Play For Patry

When Guillaume Patry opened it up to 4,500 from the cutoff seat, the player in the big blind would make the call as a {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop hit the felt. The big blind player checked and Patry bet 4,500. This is when a check-raise was thrown in. Patry called the 11,000-chip bet and the turn was dealt.

Turn: {8-Diamonds}

Patry made the hand a lot simpler her, shoving all in for over 30,000. It was enough to quickly send his opponent's cards into the muck as he took down the handy little pot.

Guzzardi Sends Loo Home

Action folded to Junzhong Loo in the hijack seat and he raised to 4,000. In the cutoff seat, Michael Guzzardi three-bet to 9,200. Action folded back to Loo and he moved all in for 44,400. When Guzzardi asked for a count, the dealer told him it was 32,000 to call. After a minute, Guzzardi called, but Loo was upset because it was actually 44,000 total. Still, Guzzardi had committed the chips and the hands were tabled.

Guzzardi: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Loo: {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Guzzardi won the pot to send Loo home. He's now up over 100,000 in chips.

Elton On His Way

Elton Tsang is sitting behind a very handsome stack right now and it comes complements of Guillaume Patry's stack.

Tsang and Patry got it all in preflop, with Patry the player at risk. A {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop was just as bad as it can get for Patry and when the turn and river bricked out, it was all over for Patry, while Tsang is one of the chip leaders.
