Vaskaboinikau Leaves Mateos Short; Busts Soon After

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau

Action started when Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened to 16,000 from early position and it folded around to Adrian Mateos in the big blind who made the call.

Both players checked their options on a flop of {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The {2-Diamonds} hit the turn and Mateos took the lead with a bet of 23,000, which Vaskaboinikau called.

The river came the {3-Spades} and Mateos checked. Vaskaboinikau took a moment but eventually checked back as well. Mateos was reluctant to show his cards and Vaskaboinikau rolled over {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for middle pair, enough to scoop the pot when Mateos mucked his hand.

After the hand, Mateos was left with under ten big blinds and would bust out a few hands later.

Kaverman Hits the River to Bust Soyza

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Byron Kaverman raised to 16,000 from the cutoff before Michael Soyza moved all in for around 100,000 in the big blind. Kaverman gave it some thought before calling.

Michael Soyza: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Byron Kaverman: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Kaverman was already cutting out the chips to pay Soyza as the board came {4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, but the {10-Hearts} on the river improved him to two pair.

"GG boys," Soyza said as he tapped the table and made his exit.

Neymar Calls Down Seidel; Addamo Busts

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Neymar
Neymar

Neymar raised to 18,000 from under the gun and was called by Erik Seidel on the button and big blind Timothy Adams.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and action checked to Seidel, who bet 25,000. Adams folded, but Neymar stuck around to see the {5-Diamonds} turn.

He checked again and Seidel fired out another 85,000. Neymar, undeterred, called again and the river came the {6-Clubs}. Both players checked.

Neymar turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a pair of queens and Seidel shook his head before mucking.

A few hands earlier at this table, Michael Addamo was eliminated by Santhosh Suvarna, who is now sitting around 1,000,000 after registering at the beginning of the day.
