Manuel Cuberos Takes his Time

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Julian Thomas opened for 30,000, got called by Dimitar Danchev and it was on Manuel Cuberos in the big blid. He took his time, several minutes, and then raised to 66,000. Thomas called and Danchev folded. It took several minutes to play out as Cuberos took his time when the action was on him, but they both eventually checked it down on a board of {10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Danchev won with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against the {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} of Cuberos.

Spittles Falls to Christoforou

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Spittles
Ryan Spittles

"All in and a call," we heard the dealer yell from a nearby table. We made our way over just in time to find Ryan Spittles all in and at risk against Andreas Christoforou.

Christoforou: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Spittles: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Christoforou seemed more nervous than Spittles despite being ahead. The {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop seemed to calm his nerves a little bit, but Spittles did pick up a wheel draw. The {6-Hearts} turn made the wheel draw obsolete as a four would result in a chopped pot, but that didn't happen as the {2-Clubs} blanked on the river. Spittles missed and was sent to the rail in 60th place.

Meanwhile, Andrey Danilyuk, Dmitry Yurasov and Clement Thumy have all been eliminated from the tournament.

Farrell Puts the Pressure On

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Niall Farrell opened under the gun and found a caller in Guillermo Olvera. They saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Farrell continued for 36,000 and Olvera raised to 82,000. Farell called leaving Olvera with a pot sized bet behind. The turn was the {7-Spades} and both players checkjed. The river was {6-Spades} putting a straight on the board and Farrell be enough to put Olvera all in. Tough spot but he made the call and tabled {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} against the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Farrell. Olvera had made a straight on the turn but the ended up splitting the pot.
