Tocci Takes Out Soucy

Brett Slezak

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alan Soucy opened from early position and then called after Michele Tocci three-bet to 625,000 from the cutoff.

On the 8♦7♥6♦ flop, Tocci continued for 250,000 and Soucy responded with a check-jam for 1,100,000 and Tocci snapped it off.

Alan Soucy: Q♦Q♣ All in
Michele Tocci: A♥A♣

It was a cooler situation with Tocci having the best of it and nothing changed on the 9♣8♣ runout as Soucy hit the exit.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Panagiotis Mavritsakis shoved for his last 970,000 from early position and it was folded to Daniel Drommel in the cutoff, who also went all in for more. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Panagiotis Mavritsakis: 3♥3♦ All in
Daniel Drommel: A♠10♠

It was a virtual coin flip, but the 5♦Q♣J♣K♠9♥ improved Drommel to Broadway on the turn — eliminating Mavritsakis about half way through Day 3.

Alejandro Lococo opened 200,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Gabriele Re in the big blind who put in a three-bet to 850,000. Lococo eyed up Re's remaining stack and announced all-in. Re flung his cards into the muck.

Lococo tossed his K♠Q♦ face-up while pulling in the chips.

"You were ahead," Remarked Re.

Lococo responded with, "I know, It was for value."

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Immediately after taking down a hand preflop with A♥K♥, Francesco Macri was in the big blind and called a 200,000 open from Gabriel Nedelcu, who was under the gun.

Macri checked to Nedelcu on the A♦7♠4♣ flop and he continued for 165,000. Macri immediately check-raised to 700,000 and Nedelcu let his hand go after a bit of thought.
