Marquez Improves

Team PokerStars Pro Ana Marquez raised to 1,200 on the button and was called by the Brazilian Antonio Luft in the small blind. The board ran {6-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Spades} and Marquez splashed another 1,500 and Luft made the call.

Marquez continued for 3,500 as the dealer opened {6-Hearts} on the turn and Luft pushed his hand into the muck.

Negreanu's Feeling Much Better

Daniel Negreanu

We joined the action with the board at one of the secondary feature tables reading {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Hearts} and only two players, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu and last year's EPT Barcelona Main Event final latbleist Isabel Baltazar still in play.

With around 24,000 already in the pot Negreanu fired another 10,800 bullet and Baltazar gave up her hand.

Negreanu busted early on Day 1 of the €50,000 Super High Roller and his second attempt after re-buying just before the start of Day 2 wasn't much better either. Negreanu said he wasn't feeling very well and therefore could not bring his A game. Judging from his current form he must be feeling much better.

Karlsson Sees Them Off

Jakob Karlsson, who astute readers will remember finished second to Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree in San Remo, just moved all in for about 12,000 over the top of a 4,600 turn bet from David Vamplew with the board reading {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Morten Mortensen (so good they named him twice) was next to act but after a few minutes he opted to fold.

Vamplew quickly folded too, leaving himself fairly short going into the last level.

Palacios Faces an Up-Hille Battle

A raising war resulted in Bolivar Palacios being all in preflop for 27,950 with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and up against the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} of Elisabeth Hille, who if you recall finished in 11th place this summer in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.

It was a classic flip, but Palacios was the one at risk and in need of some help. The {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop was just what he had in mind as it paired his ace and gave him the lead, but he wasn't too thrilled about the {4-Hearts} turn as it gave Hille a flush draw. Lucky for Palacios, the {8-Diamonds} blanked on the river and he doubled to nearly 60,000.
