Arribas Takes A Chunk From Neeme

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Andrew Neeme opened under the gun to 4,000 which Mario "marioparty" Arribas called in middle position and the big blind came along as well.

The flop came out {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} which saw Neeme bet 4,950. Arribas called and the big blind folded.

The turn came the {8-Hearts} which Neeme checked over to Arribas who bet 8,217 which Neeme called.

The river came the {8-Spades} and Neeme checked once more to Arribas who put in 18,000 sending Neeme into the tank. After some deliberation, Neeme called and Arribas showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for fives full, which was good for the pot.

Neeme Loses A Massive Pot

Blinds: 300/600

With 54,000 in the middle and playing 60,000, Andrew Neeme was involved in a pot with "foreverbro" who checked it to Neeme on a board reading {10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Neeme moved all-in with the covering stack which "foreverbro" called.

"foreverbro": {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Andrew Neeme: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Neeme had flopped jacks and tens, but they were no good against the turned nut-flush of "foreverbro" who now holds the tournament chip lead.
