Loosli Doubles Margereson

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Soyza was all in and at risk with the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of Piotr Nurzynski. The board came {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and they chopped it up. "I'll take it," Soyza joked.

Scott Margereson also ended up all in and at risk, and he doubled through Sylvain Loosli. It all started with a raise to 1,700 by Loosli, and Margereson three-bet to 6,000 from one seat over. Loosli eyed the stack of the Brit and called. On the {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Loosli check-called a bet of 4,200 and check-called all in after the {Q-Hearts} appeared on the turn.

Scott Margereson: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Sylvain Loosli: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Loosli needed to fade hearts and a jack, but the {5-Hearts} on the river improved Margereson to a flush.

The Chips are Changing

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Bahram Chobineh doubled through Mustapha Kanit to claim a big stack and Kanit got very few chips back off Chobineh's table neighbor Sirzat Hissou. On the river of a queen-high board, Kanit bet 5,000 and Hissou called to get shown {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for middle pair on the flop and two pair on the turn.

Andre Akkari and Igor Kurganov both busted and re-entered subsequently, and Anthony Zinno joined just before the end of the level.

Piqué Eliminated by Romero

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Gerard Piqué
Gerard Piqué

Gerard Piqué was the first player to bust and re-enter, and he has subsequently become the first player to bust on his second bullet. On the three-way flop of {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Piqué checked out of the big blind and James Romero bet 1,000 from the under-the-gun position. Piotr Nurzynski called on the button and Piqué called, too.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn was checked by all three players and Piqué then moved all in for around 16,000 on the {6-Diamonds} river. Romero used one time bank and called, Nurzynski folded.

Pique tabled {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Romero had that beat with {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} to send the Spanish football star to the rail.
