Terrazas Gets His Chips In; Gets Them Back Out Again

Our official short stack Santiago Terrazas shoved for his last 351,000 and got looked up by Georgios Kapalas. The air in the room coalesced into an enormous lump of tension as we teetered on the brink of an official final table.

Terrazas: {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Kapalas: {K-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

Board: {2-Spades} {6-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

Terrazas doubles to 798,000, and we play on.

Nuijten Fighting Back

A few hands later, Julien Nuijten raised preflop and picked up a caller in the shape of Toni Ojala. They saw a {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} flop and Ojala checked; Nuijten put in a 100,000 continuation bet, and Ojala passed.

Win Three, Play One, Go Deep: Carter Phillips Style

Carter Phillips won three seats via satellite to this event. It has obviously turned out to be a great idea to play one as he's made the final nine-handed table with chip lead. A little while ago, Melissa caught up with Carter on the dinner break to see how he's doing and chat a bit.

Goodwin Cripples Nuijten

Nuijten raises to 75,000 and Goodwin calls in the big blind. The flop is {2-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, Goodwin checks and Nuijten fires 85,000 which Goodwin calls.

The turn is the {J-Spades} and Goodwin checks...and so does Nujiten.

The river is the {9-Diamonds} and Goodwin bets 250,000. Nuijten calls but his {Q-?} {J-?} is pipped by Goodwin's {K-?} {J-?}.

Ojala Is Not Finn-ished

Carter Phillips raises to 60,000 and Toni Ojala calls in the big blind. The flop is {K-Spades} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and Phillips bets 70,000 after Ojala checks. Ojala calls.

Both players then check the {A-Clubs} turn before the {K-Diamonds} comes on the river which is also checked.

Phillips shows {9-?} {6-?} but he's pipped by Ojala's {8-?} {7-?}.

Holland 1-0 Canada

Julien Nuijten raises to 75,000 and Matt Lapossie calls in the big blind.

The flop is {2-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Lapossie checks back to the raiser. Nuijten bets 95,000 and that's enough to scare Lapossie off.
