Pimen Gets There in Sneaky Fashion

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

At Table 15, four players put in 3,400 preflop, with David Abreu the most aggressive of the bunch in the big blind. He bet 6,500 on an {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, and Vítor Da Silva Pimen called after one fold, with the last player mucking also. Both checked the {3-Diamonds}, and a {6-Spades} completed the board. Abreu checked and snap-called when Pimen splashed in a pile of chips that turned out to be 11,175.

Pimen tabled {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a straight.

Mackinnon Turns One Dead

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player in the small blind shoved for 5,800, which looked to be about the size of the pot, on a {2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop. The big blind called, and DJ MacKinnon reshipped for 21,600 in early position. The big blind tanked a few minutes and then announced a fold.

MacKinnon: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Small blind: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

"Good fold," someone said to the big blind.

MacKinnon was fading clubs but that sweat ended quickly when the {2-Diamonds} paired the board to give him a boat.

Liljegren Eliminated by Bertani

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Over at Viktor Blom's table, Jesse Lilijegren was involved in a hand with Rafael Bertani. On a {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Bertani bet 4,000 from the blinds and Lilijegren called in position, leaving himself with around 9,000 behind. Both players checked the {K-Clubs} on the turn.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and Bertani bet 11,000, enough to put Lilijegren all in. The Fin thought for three minutes before flicking in a single chip to indicate a call.

Rafael Bertani: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Jesse Lilijegren: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Lilijegren's hand was second best and he made his exit from the table.
