Singing From the Terrazas

Wow, he folded?
Wow, he folded?
Santiago Terrazas raised, and was met with a reraise from Georgios Kapalas. Everyone else got out of their way, and back to Terrazas -- who announced all in for 587,000 total.

Kapalas took his time making a decision, Terrazas looking at his watch and appearing frankly rather tense. Eventually Kapalas passed, though, and the pot was his.

Lapossie Double-Check-Raise Bluffs

Georgios Kapalas raised from the button, and Matt Lapossie called in the big blind to see a {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} flop.

Lapossie checked and Kapalas continuation-bet 67,000, only for Lapossie to make it 156,000 to go. Call.

They saw a {4-Diamonds} turn and once again Lapossie checked. Kapalas bet 190,000 -- and Lapossie check-raised again, this time to 403,000. Kapalas disappeared into the tank -- and announced all in for over a million, with a million in the pot.

Instafold!

Gold-Smith

Asa Smith
Asa Smith
Gergios Kapalas raises to 48,000 and Asa Smith reraises all-in for 368,000. Kapalas dwells for a minute before making the call with {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}. The young Englishman shows {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} and they were off to races.

The board rattled out {5-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, Kapalas had hit his Ace but Smith made a set of fives to double up to about 750,000.

Nuijten Makin' Moves

Toni Ojala raised to 50,000 from under the gun to kick off the action before Carter Phillips called in middle position. Julien Nuijten called from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} {2-Clubs} and Nuijten checked. Ojala fired 85,000. Phillips folded and action fell back on Nuijten. He put in a raise to 210,000. Ojala made the call.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and Nuijten moved all in, having Ojala covered. Ojala had about 430,000 behind and made the fold. Nuijten jumped to 1.36 million with that pot.

Kyllonen His the River

Jens Kyllonen bet 90,000 into Cornel Cimpan on the flop of {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. Cimpan made the call.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and Kyllonen checked. Cimpan checked behind quickly.

The river was the {A-Spades} and Kyllonen fired 150,000. Cimpan tanked for a few minutes, but eventually made the call. Cimpan's cards went flying into the muck after Kyllonen tabled {A-Clubs} [Td}.

Kyllonen is now up to 1.325 million.

Greco Doubles Up

Michael Greco moved all in for 143,000 over the top of an open-raise from Georgios Kapalas. Kapalas called the short-stacked Greco with {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Greco held {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} and was a four-to-one favorite to double up.

His hand would hold on the board of {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades}, earning him the double up.

Underpairs for Everyone

Kyllon' 'em dead
Kyllon' 'em dead
Mihai Manole raised to 50,000 in early position, and Jens Kyllonen called out of the small blind; the two of them went heads up to the {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop.

Kyllonen check-called 70,000 from Manole, and then they both cagily checked down the {Q-Clubs} turn and {4-Hearts} river. Manole flipped a rather lacklustre {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}, and Kyllonen's {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} was good to take the pot.
