Pimenta Shoves, All Fold

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Caio Pimenta was down to just a few big blinds and moved all in from the hijack seat for 38,000. Action folded to Ioannis Beris in the big blind and he said something that sounded as though he said "call" but he never put any chips in. Pimenta heard this and tabled the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Beris pleaded with the dealer that he didn't say anything and the dealer gave Beris the option of what to do. Beris elected to fold and Pimenta's short shove went uncalled.

After the hand, the tournament director came over to warn the players about waiting for the dealer to instruct them to expose their hands. The reason no penalty was given was because both Pimenta and a couple others at the table said they thought they heard Beris announce a call.

Pimenta Climbing Back

Caio Pimenta was down under 40,000 in chips but it back to about 250,000 now. He had one shove go uncalled, then doubled up and now just doubled again.

Pimenta was all in preflop for 111,000 with the {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and called by Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu out of the big blind with the {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Pimenta earned the double.

In early position, Paulo Grendene looked down at {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} and shoved his last 242,000 into the middle. Around on the button, Daniel Nestola found something better to call with, and when the blinds folded, he revealed his {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}, and that's the end of the line for Grendene. He's out in 15th place, good for R$12,120.

Sami Nadim Nasser Eliminated in 14th Place (R$15,810)

Samir Nadim Nasser
Samir Nadim Nasser

Under the gun, Samir Nadim Nasser squeezed out {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} and moved his last 148,000 chips across the imaginary betting line and into the pot. A few seats over, Gasperino Nicolas found a hand to call with, and the rest of the table folded to let Nasser go heads-up for his tournament life. Nicolas tabled his overcards, {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, and the race was on.

The {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} flop drew another one of those shrill celebrations from Nicolas as he'd taken a big lead with two to come. The turn {8-Clubs} gave a good sweat as Nasser added an open-ender to his outs. The river was the blank {A-Hearts}, though, and that's the end of Nasser's day. He's out in 14th place, leaving with a pay bump up to R$15,810.

Vincenzo Giannelli Eliminated in 13th Place (R$15,810)

Vincenzo Giannelli - 13th place
Vincenzo Giannelli - 13th place

Before the flop, Jonathan Markovits and Vincenzo Giannelli mixed it up in a preflop raising war that left the latter all in for just less than 400,000 as he was barely covered by his opponent. The news was good for Giannelli, though; his {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} had Markovits' {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} dominated.

Things went south in a hurry for the Tortuga, though. A nine flopped and another nine rivered, and the {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {9-Hearts} board has put an end to Giannelli's day. It was another valiant run — and it didn't end with an LAPT bubble this time — but he's been sent off in 13th place with a consolation prize of 15,810 Reais.
