Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em

[user66118]

That level wasn't exactly packed with action, but we did have a few chips moving around. In any event, the clock says 00:00, and it's time for another 15-minute break.

Andres Korn opened the pot to 160,000 before Nicolas Cardyn moved all in for 525,000 total. When the decision came back to Korn, he didn't waste much time making the call with the covering stack, putting Cardyn at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Korn: {5-Spades}

Cardyn:

Things would run out just fine for Cardyn: {A-Diamonds}

. A pair of aces is good on that board, and Cardyn has doubled his way up over the million-chip mark, drawing virtually even with Korn.

[user66118]

Norbert Ludger limped into the pot under the gun, and Nacho Barbero, Daniela Zapiello, and Marco Caicedo all came along for the first four-way pot of the day.

The flop came out {A-Diamonds}

, and the blinds checked. Ludger fired out 200,000 chips, and everyone's cards quickly hit the muck in turn. As the chips were pushed to him, Ludger flashed the {A-Hearts}

.

All-In Blinds

[user66118]

The table folded to the small blind, and Marco Caicedo moved all in for 475,000. Next door, Norbert Ludger asked for the count, tanked for a minute or two, and made the call to put Caicedo at risk.

Showdown
Caicedo: {A-Hearts}

Ludger:

The board of {8-Diamonds}

was red enough for Caicedo's tastes, but not suited enough to double him up. He'll have to settle for half the pot as he and Ludger chop up the antes before moving on to the next hand.
