Good Rizz-Sult for Diaz

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

What looks to be one of the first exits is that of PokerStars qualifier Roberto Rizza, whose entire stack went in on a {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} flop against Adrian Diaz' {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Rizza was in big trouble with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and couldn't spike an ace on either the {3-Hearts} turn or {7-Spades} river meaning the Italian was eliminated as a result.

Berglund Takes The Bait

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Vanessa Selbst opened to 350 on the button, Lukas Berglund calls in the small blind, as does the PokerStars qualifier Georgios Theodorou. The action checks through to the river on a board of {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {8-Spades} {9-Diamonds} and it’s Selbst who throws the line into the water with a cheeky little 500 bet. Berglund takes the bait and folds when Selbst shows {10-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}.

Jorgensen Back to Business

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Theo Jorgensen has seen a few too many bullets for his liking lately, but just as his last unfortunate encounter, the Team PokerStars Pro beat the odds.

He was battling with Matthew Mckenzie and the two had made it to the turn when the board read {2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Mckenzie check-called a 3,200 bet before he did the same for 4,000 on the {8-Clubs} river.

Jorgensen opened {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a flopped set. Mckenzie gave a knowing smile and opened {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.

Old Gun and Young Gun

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Annette Obrestad
Annette Obrestad

Konstantin Puchkov opened from middle position, PokerStars qualifier Anatoly Chen called on the big blind and this brought Annette Obrestad into the debate from the big blind.

Flop: {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades}

Puchkov is allowed to c-bet. He made it 1,025 and both players made the call.

Turn: {5-Diamonds}

This time it’s Obrestad looking to stir things up with a 2,500 lead; Puchkov called and Chen folded. That ended the action as both players checked at the sight of the {3-Diamonds} on the river. Obrestad was first to turn her cards over and showed {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} for the bag of bones, and the pot went the way of Puchkov when he showed {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

Selbst Slowed Down

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst had three-bet an initial open to 1,200 against Bruno Pereira but the Brazilian called to see a {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts} flop. The latter then called another 1,200 before the {3-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river were checked down.

Selbst declared "Ace-high," but Pereira flipped {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} to win this pot.

Lavallee Laughing

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jason Lavelle

EPT9 San Remo runner up Jason Lavallee had a shorter break than most after he waited most of it while David Breitfus tanked.

Andrey Gulyy opened to 300 from under the gun and was three-bet to 750 from Breitfus two seats along. Lavallee called from one more seat along and Gulyy came along for the ride.

On the {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop Breitfus continued for 1,425 and Lavallee was the only caller. Both players checked the {3-Spades} turn and Breitfus led for 4,300 on the {10-Hearts} river. Lavallee took a few moments and bumped that up to 13,200.

All other players had gone on break by that point but it still took another ten minutes for Breitfus to release his hand.
