Monster Pot Sends Guerra Into the Chip Lead

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

We noticed Cristiano Guerra sitting with a mountain of chips, and learned what had transpired after the fact.

The hand in question began three players each put in 2,600 preflop and took a flop of {8-}{9-}{2-}. Two checks saw a player in late position bet 6,000, another player call, and Guerra check-raise to 17,500. The late-position player proceeded to move all in for around 50,000, the other player folded, and Guerra made the call.

Late Position: {a-}{a-}
Guerra: {8-}{8-}

Guerra was out in front with a set, and it held as running deuces appeared on the turn and river.

Missclick From Michalak

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Jakub Michalak
Jakub Michalak

Jakub Michalak miss clicked and only almost moved all in from under the gun with a very short stack, leaving himself about 1,000 in chips.

John Haigh called out of the small blind and the big blind folded.

On the {4-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop Michalak got the rest in with the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and saw his opponent turn over {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The whole table, including Michalak, erupted in laughter, and after the {2-Hearts} turn and the {5-Diamonds} river he exited the table with the final words, "Alright. So where is my beer?"

Steady Grind From Srinivasan

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Shyam Srinivasan
Shyam Srinivasan

PCA finalist Shyam Srinivasan raised the cutoff to 1,200 and one seat further an Italian called to see the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades} flop. Srinivasan made the continuation bet of 1,500 and did so again on the {2-Spades} turn for 3,000, though his opponent quickly called twice. Both then checked the {10-Spades} river and the Italian raked in the chips with {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}. This was only a minor setback for Srinivasan however, as the Canadian got all the way up from 15,000 earlier today.

Swingy for Goncalves

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

The final board was {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Candido Goncalves had bet 5,100. Carlo Savinelli thought about it for a fair amount of time while having a massage. He had a decent stack after doubling through Vanessa Selbst and now he raised Goncalves to 15,300.

There wasn’t much of a pause however before Goncalves declared all in. Savinelli sighed deeply and checked his hand more than three times before making the fold and leaving a fair chunk of chips behind.

On the next hand Carl Henriksson opened for 1,250 and Savinelli three-bet him to 3,500. Sat to the left of Savinelli was Goncalves who four-bet. Henriksson had just over 15,000 left and moved all in.

Goncalves instantly called with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and the at risk Henriksson showed {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The final run out of the board, {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, gave Henriksson salvation on the end to double up and survive while Goncalves had to pass a slice of his winnings across the felt.

Naya Three Outed

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a raise and the three-bet by Adrian Naya from Spain, Julian Track in the big blind squeezed it up to 10,000. The initial raiser folded but Naya moved all-in for 22,000 - pot odds for the Prague champion with the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and he made the call versus the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} of the Spaniard. The {9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} board however delivered two kings and Naya left the tournament area in a very frustrated mood.

Peck Flushed Away

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

All the chips were in preflop and the player at risk, Vladimir Peck, tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. He was in pretty good shape against the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} of German PokerStars player and recent Estrellas Valencia winner Fabio Sperling.

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and the flush of the PokerStars Pro did for Peck.

Oleksii Khoroshenin Eliminated

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Oleksii Khoroshenin
Oleksii Khoroshenin

There will be no back-to-back victory for Oleksii Khoroshenin from the Ukraine after he has just hit the rail. After an open raise to 1,400, Pawel Brzeski three-bet to 4,000 in the small blind and the Vienna champion moved all in for ~14,000 one seat over. Brzeski looked him up with the {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and was behind against the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} of his opponent; however, the {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop provided the necessary help. The turn and river both blanked and that was it for the Ukrainian.

Bendinelli Finds A Fold

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

All other tables already bagged up their chips but table 4 was still not done with their last hand. We saw the {J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} turn and Giuliano Bendinelli bet 2,000 to call the raise of his table neighbor Pratik Ghatge to 6,000. On the {2-Spades} river, the Italian check-folded after about 2 minutes the {J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} openly when Ghatge made it 10,000 to go.
