Bianchi Takes on the Spanish
The Spanish Armada in the Bahama's is having a fantastic week with Ramon Collilas's earlier victory in the PokerStars Players Championship for $5.1 million. Several of Spain's great, the Javier's Gomez Zapatero and Zarco, as well as Vicent Bosca, are trying to mimic Collilas's run and bring a second big title to the southern European country.
One of them, Zarco, was short and raised to 125,000 from early position, leaving himself with 9,000 behind. One seat over, Vicent Bosca made the call, which brought the action to Gomez. He cut out a raise to what appeared to be 300,000. It got to Chase Bianchi in the small blind, who was unfazed by all the earlier action and shoved for 634.000
Zarco burned two time banks before committing his final chips. Bosca couldn't get out of the way fast enough and Gomez reluctantly flicked in a chip to call the shove off.
Javier Zarco: 
Chase Bianchi: 
Javier Gomez Zapatero: 
The 
board remained solid for Bianchi. Zarco was out, while Gomez took a massive hit to his stack.
