Vrakas Fires

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Anastasios Vrakas was under the gun and he opened the action with a raise to 12,000. It folded to Bo Kjaer Erichsen in middle position and he announced a three-bet to 24,500. Action trickled around to Charlie Carrel in the small blind and he thought for just under a minute before sliding out calling chips. The big blind folded while Vrakas came along to see a flop.

The dealer fanned {8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Carrel checked. Vrakas opted to lead at the pot for 50,000 and Erichsen got out of the way. Carrel once again put a sizable amount of thought into the decision before ultimately opting to lay his cards down. Vrakas won the pot and brought his stack up to about 215,000.

Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Oleksii Khoroshenin opened the cutoff for 9,000 and his neighbor PokerStars Sport Star Fatima Moreira de Melo moved all in for 49,000 from the button. Mindaugas Jonuskis in the big blind called all in and the decision was back on Khoroshenin.

The EPT Vienna champion tanked for a long time but folded eventually, claiming to have had {K-}{Q-}.

Fatima Moreira de Melo: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Mindaugas Jonuskis: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Jonuskis got up from the table and left. "Bad fold!" Moreira de Melo told Khoroshenin with a big smile while trying to strangle him as a joke. "That would have been a real sweat; four over cards!"

Walker Shoves on Ainsworth

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jude Ainsworth just raised from the button to 9,500 and Chris Walker three-bet from the small blind to 26,000. Ainsworth put together a four-bet, making it 61,000, and the action was back on Walker.

"All in," Walker announced after a while, and Ainsworth folded after about 10 seconds.

"I'm just happy I didn't hear 'call' right away," Walker laughed, as he raked in this sizeable pot before the flop.
