Hands 72-75: The Calm Before the Storm

Level 33 : 75,000/150,000, 25,000 ante

Hand 72: Paredes claimed the pot with an open to 300,000 from the button.

Hand 73: Maio open-jammed from the button and forced two quick folds.

Hand 74: Merulla folded his button and Paredes limped in, with Maio checking his option. On the {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop Paredes took the pot down with a c-bet.

Hand 75: Paredes folded on the button, Maio moved all-in for his last 2.085 million from the small blind, and Merulla tanked to think it over. He asked for an exact count of the bet and put his hand to his face, calculating and computing in his head before grabbing a stack of baby blue T5000 chips to riffle. Despite having chips in hand, he decided lay the hand down and the pot was pushed to Maio.
