Iadisernia Nearing Two Million; Colillas Very Short

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alexandre Raymond opened to 40,000 from under the gun and picked up no fewer than three callers including Giuseppe Iadisernia, Scott Bohlman and Ramon Colillas. The latter was in the big blind and had a very short stack behind.

Four ways to the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop, it checked to Iadisernia and he bet 60,000. One opponent after the other folded and the Venezuelan increased his stack to nearly two million while Colillas dropped below ten big blinds.

Ribeiro Doubles to Survive

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Allan Ribeiro
Allan Ribeiro

Allan Ribeiro moved all in for 190,000 from the cutoff. Ehsan Amiri was in the small blind and asked for a count before folding. Jamil Wakil snap called in the big blind.

Allan Ribeiro: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Jamil Wakil: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

It was a flip for Ribeiro's tournament life and it was a kind flop when it came {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} which left Wakil drawing to one out. The turn of the {10-Diamonds} left some opportunities to chop. However the river came the {10-Clubs} which ensured Ribeiro's survival.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Giuseppe Iadisernia
Giuseppe Iadisernia

Ramon Colillas defended out of the big blind and check-called a bet on the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop by Giuseppe Iadisernia. He did so again for 75,000 on the {a-Diamonds} turn and Iadisernia checked behind the {8-Diamonds} river to win the pot with the {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The stack of Colillas took a small hit as he dropped back to a mere 15 big blinds.

Two in a Row for Boeken

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken

Noah Boeken min-raised to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by both players in the blinds including Johan Guilbert and Elias Gutierrez. On the {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, it checked to Boeken and he bet 30,000 to pick up two callers.

After the {3-Hearts} turn, both blinds checked again and Boeken's bet worth 75,000 won the pot uncontested.

Pedro Neves then raised to 40,000 and Boeken called in the big blind. The flop brought {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Boeken's check-raise from 25,000 to 90,000 did the trick to claim the second pot in a row without any further resistance.

Jared “BeamDoctorPoker” Halter Streams PokerStars Platinum Pass Invitational Victory

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jared Halter
Jared Halter

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) is happening now, and later this month the PokerStars Players NLH Hold’em Championship (PSPC) will take place January 30-February 3. One man who will be heading to the Bahamas is 41-year-old Jared “BeamDoctorPoker” Halter, who won a Platinum Pass on PokerStars Michigan.

“I won a PSPC Platinum Pass on Wednesday, November 9,” Halter told PokerNews. “I had just returned from Vegas that morning on a red eye flight and slept for four hours on a friend’s couch before I drove home for two hours. To be honest, I was very fortunate to win because I had a very rough 72 hours. Some things happened in Vegas that caused me to have anxiety attacks for the first time in my life and I ended up only sleeping about five hours total in the previous 48.”

He continued: “I was exhausted and when the MTT started, I said to myself, it will take a miracle for me to win. Funny enough, I mis-clicked two different times early in the tourney and called three-bets with hands like 85o (I did not win those hands). I streamed the tourney, and only single tabled it, because of how tired and ungrounded I felt from the previous time. During the stream, I talked about how exhausted I was and how there was almost zero chance I win. Of course, as we know, the universe had a different plan.”

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Down to the last 27 players, the tournament has gone on the third scheduled 20-minute break of the day. Another two levels or down to the final 16 players are scheduled for today, whichever of the two comes first.

Raymond's Raise Gets Through

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Ramon Colillas raised to 30,000 from under the gun and was called by Alexandre Raymond in early position and Giuseppe Iadisernia in the cutoff.

The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and action checked to Iadisernia who bet 35,000. Colillas called before Raymond bumped it up to 130,000. Iadisernia used a time bank card while he deliberated before folding while Colillas instantly mucked sending the pot to Raymond.

Brewer Straightened Out by Little

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Chris Brewer
Chris Brewer

Three ways to the {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades} turn, Chris Brewer checked out of the big blind and so did Mauricio Ferreira Pais from under the gun. Jonathan Little on the button bet 100,000 and Brewer then check-raised to 255,000 with a single T-5,000 chip behind.

Ferreira Pais folded and Little then moved all-in, which triggered some table chat. "You could be drawing dead," Little joked as Brewer glanced at the tournament info as the tournament was on a pay jump.

"I am not tanking because the spot is close," Brewer responded and that caused some laughter at the table. Once it got down to his last time bank extension, Brewer flicked in the call and the cards were turned over.

Chris Brewer: {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Jonathan Little: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Brewer needed a ten or seven but broadway was good for Little when the {2-Clubs} river completed the board.
