Two New Entries, Smith Doubles Through Pardo

Level 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dan Smith opened to 7,000 from under the gun and was called by Orpen Kisacikoglu in the hijack. Juan Pardo three-bet to 30,000 on the button and Smith responded with a four-bet shove for 166,000. Kisacikoglu quickly folded but Pardo called and the cards were tabled.

Dan Smith: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Juan Pardo: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Smith was just hoping to avoid the dreaded ace in order to double-up and stay alive. The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Smith survived elimination.

Brandon Steven and Dan Fleyshman also entered the field, bringing the total number of entries to 42 thus far.

Vieira Sits Down, Chips Up

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joao Vieira just took a seat and was already involved in a big pot against Jean-Noel Thorel when PokerNews got to the table on a board of {9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Thorel showed {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a busted flush draw and Vieira showed the winner with {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for queens full of aces.
