Zavorotnijs Rocks the Boat

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs fired out 4,600 on the river of a {2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} after Liv Boeree checked and got a fairly quick call from last year's winner but the Latvian turned over {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a full house.

I've yet to see a hand at show down that didn't involve at least once person holding a full house or better, the dealers are cold-decking everyone so far.

Fatima Experiences the Joy of Six

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Fatima Moreira de Melo has already doubled up after eliminating another player on a {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board. Her opponent must have been pretty confident with {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for kings full but de Melo flipped {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for rivered quads!

She's up to 40,000 already. This is how you win tournaments, make quads against the nut full house.

Genovesi Takes One From Veldhuis

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jackson Genovesi opened to 300 from middle position and Team Pokerstars Pro Lex Veldhuis called behind. The flop was {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} Genovesi bet 300 and Veldhuis raised to 1,200. Genovesi chuckled to himself before making the call.

Turn: {7-Spades}

Genovesi checked to Veldhuis who bet 3,000 and Genovesi called.

River: {3-Hearts}

The action slowed right down to a check-check pace. Genovesi peeled over {k-Clubs} {q-Hearts} and Veldhuis mucked unseen.

The Challenge Facing Boeree

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

If Team Pokerstars Pro Liv Boeree is going to retain her title then she is going to have to do it the hard way. We reported earlier that she was sharing the table with Alex Wice and at that time there were a lot of vacant places yet to be filled. Team Pokerstars Pro Lex Veldhuis has just filled the number two seat, young Italian hot shot Alessandro Speranza has sat in seat number ten and the World Champion Jonathan Duhamel has sat down in seat four.

Straight Flush for Sudworth

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

There was a limp from under the gun and James Sudworth raised to 300 holding {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The action folded around to the limper who made the call and they both saw a flop of {a-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} - not a bad flop for the Sudworth hand.

The limper checked to Sudworth who bet 400 and the limper called. The turn {8-Diamonds} gave James Sudworth a straight flush draw but is was also a scary card for the Brit and both players checked. The river was Sudworth's gin card {6-Diamonds}. The limper bet 1,300 and Sudworth raised to 4,600 and the limper made the call before mucking his cards unseen after Sudworth laid out his straight flush.

Boeree and Wice

Last years number one, Liv Boeree, has fittingly found herself seated on table number one. She shares that table with EPT Deauville third place finisher Alex Wice, Lex Veldhuis and reigning World Champion Jonathan Duhamel so we will keep an eye on proceedings.

In Boeree's first playable hand she called a pre flop raise in middle position and three players saw a flop including Wice in the big blind. The flop was {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Wice quickly checked to the initial raiser who bet 500; Boeree called the 500 but Wice forced them both out of the hand with a 1,900 three-bet.
