Holding It Down Team PokerStars

When the tournament began, there were plenty of Team PokerStars pros in the mix. As we move deeper into Day 2, only three of them remain. Angel Guillen of Team Pro Mexico, Leo Fernandez of Team Pro Argentina and Jorge Arias of Team Online are the three left. Arias is up on the feature table with 70,000 in chips while Guillen has 45,000 and Fernandez 56,000 on two separate outer tables. With all their other teammates on the rail already, it's up these three to represent the team from here on out.

Could all three cash? Could they all make the final table? Will one of them win it? You'll have to stay glued to PokerNews to find out!

Scaff Rivered

Facing a limp from the under the gun player, Andre Luiz Scaff limped also as both blinds came along to see a {4-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades} flop fall.

The blinds checked and the limper fired out 7,000 with only Scaff calling as the {3-Spades} landed on the turn.

Both players checked that, and then the {5-Diamonds} on the river as Scaff tabled his {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

However it would be his opponent's {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} that would improve to two-pair on the river to see Scaff clipped down to 249,800 in chips.

Angel Loses His Wings

Angel Guillen
Angel Guillen

It looks as though the run of Angel Guillen is over. Action folded to him on the button and he moved all in for 39,600. Homero Ribeiro called the shove after tanking in the big blind. He called with the {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and was dominating the Team PokerStars Mexico pro's {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Guillen pulled ahead on the flop of {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}, picking up two pair. The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and Guillen was still in front with only one more card to come. The river card completed the board with the {7-Spades} and Guillen immediately knew that wasn't the card he wanted to see. Riberio rivered a better two pair with aces and sevens to eliminate Guillen from the tournament.

Leo Fernandez and Jorge Arias are the only two remaining members of Team PokerStars now.

Queens for Austin

With the action folding round to the small blind, he moved all in and Brady Austin instantly called from the big blind.

Austin: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades} to see Austin eliminate his opponent and sit just shy of 60,000 in chips.

Scaff Over 300k!

300 bizzles!
300 bizzles!

Facing a raise to 12,000 from the player under the gun, Andre Luiz Scaff made the call next to speak to take the hand heads up to the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop.

The original raiser checked, and Scaff fired out 20,000 to force a prompt fold from his opponent.

Scaff flashed his {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} to collect the pot and become the first player to pass the 300,000-chip mark; currently seated with 302,800!

We have just been informed that Matthias Habernig has just scooped a substantially sized pot to join the 300,000-chip club with Andre Luiz Scaff.

Unfortunately for Scaff, he has been pipped by Habernig by a few big blinds as the young Austrian sits with 315,000 and change.

Another One for Montero

A player in middle position raised to 11,000 before Guillermo Montero called from the cutoff seat. The big blind also made the call and the flop was put down {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

The big blind and original raiser checked to Montero. He fired a bet of 7,000. After the big blind folded, the original raiser made the call.

The turn card brought the {10-Diamonds} and paired the top card on board. Action was checked to Montero. He fired 23,000 this time. His opponent tanked for a minute or two, but eventually folded the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Montero picked up the pot. He's now back up to 190,000.

Gui Claims to Fold Big Slick

Action folded to Richard Gui in the hijack seat. With a little under 50,000 in chips, Gui raised to 8,500. The small blind and he moved all in for 51,800. He had Gui covered by a tiny bit. Gui went into the tank and flipped over the {A-Clubs} to get a better read on his opponent. The floor was called and it was ruled that Gui was not allowed to show a card, even though his opponent was all in and no one else was in the hand. Gui only got a warning though. He let his hand go after a few minutes in the tank, claiming to fold {A-}{K-}. His opponent showed the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

"I can't afford to race right now," said Gui, "But I know you're not that strong."
