Horno Sends One Packing

An under-the-gun player opened for 16,000 and was met with an all-in three bet by the next player to act. Daniela Horno then moved all in herself from the big blind for 142,000 total, which drove the UTG player from the pot.

Showdown

Horno{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Horno, who finished sixth in this event last year, was dominating and never relinquished the lead as the board ran out {3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Not only did she chip up to 190,000, she sent a player to the rail.

Monster Pot for Barrientos

Waldermar Barrientos raised to 11,500 from under the gun and was looked up by the player in the big blind. When the flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}, the big blind check-called a bet of 24,000 and the {2-Diamonds} was put out on the turn. Again the big blind checked and Barrientos bet somewhere around 50,000. The big blind then moved all in for a little over 100,000 and Barrientos snap-called.

Showdown

Barrientos{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Big Blind{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The big blind knew he was in trouble before the cards were turned over, but he didn't expect to be drawing dead. The meaningless {6-Hearts} was put out on the river and Barrientos was pushed the monster pot, which brought him over 500,000.

Big Stack Battle

Day 1a chip leader Waldermar Barrientos and Luis Montano each put 27K into the pot preflop and watched the flop come down {9-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, which both players checked. When the {6-Clubs} appeared on the turn, Barrientos led out for 33,000 and Montano released.

It wasn't much of a hand, but showed these two big stacks aren't afraid to duke it out.

Don't Call It a Comeback

With around 45,000 in the pot and a board reading {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}, the player in the small blind checked to Thiago Nishijima. He took his time before firing out a bet of 38,000, which was more than half his stack. The small blind mulled it over for a few seconds before conceding the hand.

Nishijima is back up over 100K.
