Short Day for De Souza

Frank Visser

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Belarmino De Souza had gotten his stack of 150,000 in from the small blind against Burak Simsek in the big blind.

Belarmino De Souza: J♠10♣7♦2♠ All in
Burak Simsek: A♠A♥10♦5♠

Simsek flopped top set on 3♣A♦2♥ and had De Souza drawing dead on the J♦ turn. The Q♠ river was rendered meaningless as De Souza quickly left the tournament area.

Francisco Perez: 10♦9♣8♠8♥

Bajric snap called. "Dan" only flashed his cards briefly before they disappeared into the muck as Bajric had the winning hand with K♠J♣9♣2♥ for a flush.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

"Hans Olymp" in the small blind and Shamil Patel in early position had each put in 225,000 on a flop of 10♥8♥6♠. "Hans Olymp" then checked the J♦ turn over to Patel, who shoved all in for 625,000.

"Hans Olymp" had a difficult decision as he spent all his time banks before finally slamming in a call.

Shamil Patel: A♥10♠8♦4♥ All in
"Hans Olymp": Q♠J♠10♣7♥

Both players had two pair, but "Hans Olymp" had the higher one. The 7♣ river changed nothing and Patel said his goodbyes from the table, seeing "Hans Olymp" chip up to 100 big blinds.
