Wheeler Works on some Magic

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jason Wheeler had to shoot a second bullet but is still in and on his way to cash all three High Roller tournaments here during the EPT12 Malta. The American grinder came fourth in the €25,000 High Roller and then third in the €10,000 Single-Day High Roller a few days ago. Right now, Wheeler sits behind a stack of just under 40 big blinds, more than enough to work some more magic.

Jaguscik on the Rise

Alvarado Loses all of it

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
JC Alvarado
JC Alvarado

It has been a very unfortunate last few minutes for JC Alvarado. After his two double ups almost in a row, he had Keven Stammen at risk with pocket tens versus pocket deuces and "Stammdogg" found a deuce on the board. The rest of it went in with the {A-}{10-} and Manuel Blaschke rejammed with {A-}{Q-}.

The board ran out {A-}{J-}{3-}{J-}{10-} to make the kicker ten worthless and Alvarado quietly left the tournament area.

Vieira Loses Flip

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira started the action with a raise from the hijack and Carlos Chadha three-bet jammed for 160,000 chips out of the small blind with the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

Vieira took the flip with pocket sevens and the board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to send the Portuguese to the rail a mere minute before the second break of Day 2.

Haxton Destroys Stack Just before the Break

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

In the last hand before the break, which lasted several minutes into the break. The full action is amiss, but Brian Roberts raised to 111,700 and left very few chips behind on the river of a {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board. PokerStars Team Online member Isaac Haxton called and was shown the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} by Roberts.

Since it was no all in showdown, Haxton could muck his cards and that's exactly that he did, forfeiting the vast majority of his stack to have less than 10 big blinds remaining for the new level.

Blaschke Busts to Piotrowski

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Przemyslaw Piotrowski raised and then called the three-bet shove of Manuel Blaschke from one seat over for around 20 big blinds. Blaschke had a massive kicker problem with {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}, as Piotrowski had him dominated with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts} to give the Pole a straight.

Paul Newey also joined the rail at the very same time, failing to improve his second place finish in an EPT High Roller event from last season in Prague.
