Breaking the Far Room

Getting from the main tournament area over to the farthest few tables involves some serious work. In between the two areas is the entrance to the room, the bar, and the spectators' viewing area, and there is hardly a single-file path through the masses of humanity. Thankfully, there are only seven tables left over there, and they're breaking this way fast.

Here's the counts from the last few tables over there:

Ruscalla Amassing a Stack

From under the gun, Dmitry Motorov raised to 2,500. Damien Rony and Pier Paolo Ruscalla called from middle position, Peter Jetten called from the cutoff seat, Markus Ristola called from the button, Massimiliano Forti called from the small blind and Edmilson Tavares Muniz De Oliveira called from the big blind. Only Massimo Di Cicco and Casey Kastle had folded preflop.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} with seven players in action. Play checked around the table to Ruscalla and he fired 8,700. Everyone folded back to Rony and he called to see the turn with just about 24,000 in chips behind.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Rony checked. Ruscalla set him all in and Rony called after about 20 seconds.

Ruscalla: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Rony: {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The river completed the board with the {3-Spades} and Ruscalla's queen kicker held up. He was able to bust Rony and see his stack climb to well over 200,000 in chips.

Boeree and the Knaves

Francesco Zufferli raised to 2,200 to open the pot from early position, and Theo Jorgensen called before Hugo Loureira shoved all in for 16,700. Next door, Liv Boeree made the overcall, and Zufferli called as well. Jorgensen ducked out of the way, and there was live action between Boeree and Zufferli going to the flop.

They checked through the {J-Hearts} {10-Spades} {2-Spades}, and Boeree bet 10,200 on the {8-Diamonds}. That bet was called, and the river {9-Diamonds} went check-check again.

Boeree tabled {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} to win the side pot, and Loureira's ace-king was no good. He's out, and Boeree has worked herself up to about 160,000 with that pot.
