Van Thuyh Eliminated by Tsitovich

Robert Van Thuyh gone
Robert Van Thuyh gone

PokerStars qualifier from Canada Robert Van Thuyh was all in for his last 30,000 or so with the {K-Spades}{4-Diamonds} against the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for Andrey Tsitovich. The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and all Thuyh was left with was a pair of fours. That wasn't good enough to best the pair of queens that Tsitovich made and he was eliminated.

Davicino Doubles Through Neto

Fernando Davicino opened to 14,000 on the button and was met with a three-bet to 30,000 by Nelson Trad Neto from the big blind. Davicino thought it over for a while before re-raising all in for 162,000. Neto tanked for a good three minutes before calling.

Davicino: {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Neto: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop was little help to Davicino, but the {10-Spades} turn did give him a few extra outs to a flush. Sure enough the {6-Spades} hit the river, prompting Davicino to celebrate wildly. "VAMO...VAMO...", yelled Davicino (among other things we aren't quite sure how to spell)

Van Thuyh Finds a Five, but Opponent Finds an Ace

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

PokerStars qualifier Robert Van Thuyh just lost a solid portion of his stack when he lost with the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to an opponent's {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} after all of the money went in preflop. Van Thuyh cheered for a five to come by yelling, "Come on a five!" It was delivered when the flop rolled out {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The turn brought the {A-Hearts} though and landed his opponent with a high set. The river completed the board with the {K-Spades}.

Van Thuyh was kicked all the way back to just 30,000 in chips after that defeat.
