Deeb Gives It Up; Back Under 300K

Giovanni Rizzo checked the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, then Shaun Deeb checked over to Szabolcs Mayer. He fired 8,500, and Rizzo folded. Deeb made the call, though, and the turn brought the {8-Hearts}.

On the turn, Deeb checked before Mayer thought, then fired 18,000. Deeb tanked for about a minute and a half before folding his hand with a shake of his head.

Brammer Cracks Aces with Kings

Christopher Brammer
Christopher Brammer

We didn't catch the betting action, but we do know Sylvain Mazza and Chris Brammer got all in for about 56,000 each.

Showdown
Brammer: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Mazza: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Brammer looked extremely disappointed, but his frown turned upside down when the flop fell {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and gave him a set. The {10-Clubs} turn meant Mazza needed an ace on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {6-Hearts} peeled off. The stacks were counted down and Brammer barely had Mazza covered.

Romanello Rolling; Busts Teng

Andrew Teng ran into the Romanello
Andrew Teng ran into the Romanello

We caught up with Roberto Romanello after he won three hands on the bounce to give him a six-figure stack for the first time this event.

  • Romanello opened and was three-bet by an opponent. He put in a four-bet and took the pot down.
  • The very next hand Romanello opened again and called when fellow Brit Andrew Teng shipped all in for 46,000 with kings. Romanello was in big trouble with pocket queens but made quads on the {q-}{10-}{9-}{q-}{j-} board. Teng's nose was rubbed in it by making a straight on the river.
  • The hand after that saw Romanello opened for a third time. Matt Salsberg, who just sat down with more than 400,000 chips, three-bet to 15,500. Romanello four-bet to 33,500 and Salsberg tank-folded.

Bonavena Busts

On a board of {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Erik Olofsson checked to Salvatore Bonavena who bet out 10,00. Olofsson slid out a check-raise to 25,000 and Bonavena three-bet to 78,000.

Olofsson snap called and the river brought the {5-Clubs}. Olofsson moved all in after the river fell and Bonavena called. Olofsson showed {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a straight to the jack. Bonavena moved his chips into the middle and then mucked his cards after seeing Olofsson's hand.

Olofsson is up to about 240,000 after scoring the elimination of the Team PokerStars pro.

A Double for Marquez

In one of the last hands of Level 13, Paul Berende opened for 4,200 from early position and Oliver Weis called from middle position. Ana Marquez did the same from the hijack and three players saw a flop of {2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Two checks put action on Marquez and she bet 12,000, which only Weis called.

When the dealer burned and turned the {6-Clubs}, Weis check-called a bet of 21,600, which brought about the {5-Hearts} river. Again Weis checked, Marquez moved all in for 55,100, and Weis called. The Team PokerStars Pro tabled {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for the nut-flush, and Weis simply mucked his cards.
