Alekberovas Flushed With Chips

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Anaras Alekberovas has moved into a good position winning a very healthy pot off Ole Schemion.

The latter raised to 100,000 from early position and Alekberovas defended his big blind to see a {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{k-Diamonds} flop.

Schemion continued for 120,000 and called when Alekberovas check-raised to 270,000. Alekberovas bet for 315,000 and 625,000 on the {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} turn and river and was called both times.

Alekberovas opened {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the flush and his German opponent folded.

Sahamies vs. Alekberovas

Anaras Alekberovas opened for 110,000 from the hijack only to have Ilari Sahamies three-bet to 250,000 from the cutoff. After the button and blinds got out of the way, Alekberovas made the call and it was off to the {7-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop.

Alekberovas ended up check-calling a bet from Sahamies, how much we're not sure, and then both players checked the {8-Diamonds} turn. Alekberovas checked for a third time on the {A-Diamonds} river, and then snap folded when Sahamies cut out 500,000 in chip and slid them into the pot.

Sahamies Overbets

The last hand featured some pre-flop betting action. John Juanda opened with a 90,000 raise from the early position and Joni Jouhkimainen on Juanda's immediate left three-bet to 200,000. Action folded to Ilari Sahamies on the button who four-bet to 540,000 and both Juanda and Jouhkimainen released their hands.

Slow Going

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Things have been relatively quiet since the final nine players started back up. It's a very important bubble as not only is it the TV bubble, but it comes with a pay jump as well.

Teaching A Pit-Bull To Chill

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Fatima Moreira de Melo made name for herself as a field hockey player who took no prisoners. A self-described pit-bull, she scrapped her way to 16th place today, her best EPT performance to date. But after appearing on “Survivor” the one time pit-bull is learning to chill, even if that can’t entirely remove the disappointment of defeat.
