Marcal Triples With King-High

Wallacy Marcal found himself all in once again; this time for 8,000 from the cutoff.

Kwang Ho Han made the call from the small and Homero Ribeiro made the call from the big blind.

Both players checked down the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board to see Han muck and Ribeiro table his {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

However it would be Marcal's {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} that would ensure him another triple; this time amounting to 27,000 in chips.

Mascioto Bluffs?

Facing a limp from the button, Mario Mascioto checked his option in the big blind to see a {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Spades} flop fall.

Mascioto checked and his opponent fired out 7,000 before being check-raised by Mascioto to 25,000.

Making the call, Mascioto's opponent folded to his all in when the turn landed the {9-Diamonds} before flashing his {5-Spades}.

Mascioto raked in the pot to move to 130,000 while also flashing his {2-Spades}.

It's Time!

After a quick few eliminations, we are now on the bubble!

The Tournament Director has just announced that play will switch to hand-for-hand until we lose just one more.

Aalders with the Big Double

Sander Aalders and Paulo Santiago got all the money in preflop for a massive pot worth 180,000 chips. Aalders was the player at risk in the hand and he held the worst of it in the flip with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Santiago held the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop was kind to Aalders when it came {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}. The turn gave him trips with the {A-Clubs} and the river completed the board with the {Q-Spades}. Aalders made a full house and doubled up to 180,000 while Santiago was left with 62,000.

You Only Need One

With Brazil being relaxed at both the best and worst of times, so far nearly all of our breaks throughout both days of the LAPT Florianopolis Main Event haven't resumed on time.

This may be both or neither of a staff or player issue, but on resumption of play after dinner, the tardiness on one table was definitely a player issue!

Once the orders of shuffle up and deal were issued, one of the remaining seven tables only had one player seated.

The cards hit the air and the player kept picking up the blinds and antes to increase his stack as we near the bubble.

Unfortunately only after a few hands, his party was spoiled by a few players, before the remainder of the table decided that their break was finally over, and consequently decided to play some poker.

Only in Brazil!
