Dominik Panka opened to 900 and Ezequiel Macho called from the button. The blinds both released their hands, leaving the duo heads up to a flop. Panka fired out a continuation bet of 1,100 only to have Macho come over the top for 2,600.
Panka thought for about 30 seconds before three-betting all in for 11,225 total. Macho folded his cards and the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event champion scooped the pot. He now has about 15,700 to his name.
On the turn of a board, SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo bet 2,000 and received one caller before Ahmad Rehaime moved all in for about 7,825. de Melo called after some deliberation and the third player folded.

Rehaime:
The river changed nothing and Rehaime doubled up to about 20,000.
It’s quiet in the tournament room. There’s plenty going on, just not a lot of noise, save for riffle of chips and some murmuring coming from the group of people watching the UKIPT Main Event. That means when someone does speak it’s easy to hear them. And a few members of the Day 1a field in particular can be heard better than others. Like Tino de Zutter for example, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
