Civai Falls to Romero

Ryan Lashmar

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Javier Romero had opened from middle position only for David Civai to move all in from the button for just under 100,000. Romero made the call to put Civai at risk.

David Civai: K♠10♦
Javier Romero: Q♥Q♠

Romero was in great shape with pocket-queens and remained ahead on the 6♠3♦2♦ flop. The 5♦ turn did give Civai a flush draw but the 5♥ river was a brick and Civai was sent to the rail three spots shy of making the money while Romero scored yet another knockout.

Evgeniy Bukharkov was also recently eliminated shortly before this hand took place.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dario Bagattini opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Walid Igalla moved all in for just under 80,000. After confirming his opponent's chip count Bagattini made the call with a covering stack to put Igalla at risk.

Walid Igalla: 10♣10♦
Dario Bagattini: A♦J♠

Bagattini pulled ahead with a pair of jacks on the Q♦J♣7♥ flop but the 9♣ turn gave Igalla some outs in the form of a straight draw. The 4♣ river was a brick and Igalla made his exit from the tournament area while Bagattini collected the last of his chips.

Meanwhile at the other table, Jonatan Caluino and Ruben Vara were recently eliminated.

Romero Sends Lipe to the Rail

Ryan Lashmar

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of Q♥7♦Q♣5♣ and roughly 30,000 already in the middle, Adrian Lipe was on the button and had gotten into a raising war with Javier Romero in the hijack, resulting in Lipe being all in and at risk for his remaining stack of roughly 50,000.

Adrian Lipe: Q♦9♦
Javier Romero: 7♥7♠

In a brutal cooler Lipe had flopped trip queens only for Romero to flop a full house. Lipe couldn't catch up on the 3♣ river and was sent to the rail while Romero continued to accumulate chips.

Gironella Fires Three Barrels

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♥3♥3♣ and roughly 8,5000 in the middle, Oscar Gironella checked in the big blind and his opponent in the cutoff bet 2,500. Gironella check-raised to 7,000 and was called by his opponent.

Gironella bet another 7,000 on the J♥ turn and once again was called.

On the 9♣ river Gironella moved all in for 25,700 and this time it was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Constantinos Stylianou was recently eliminated.
