Sousa Faces An All In Shove

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Rui Sousa knows what it's like to run deep in Barcelona. Last year, the Portuguese finished 48th for €17,920 in the Main Event, the year before that, he ended up in 18th place and banked €53,570.

In level 2, Sousa was already facing an all in bet for nearly all his chips. The board read {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Sousa had bet 3,000. His opponent Viktor Ustimov responded by shoving for 25,400, which sent Sousa nearly five minutes in the tank.

With the Portuguese media swarming in to capture the moment, Sousa eventually opted to preserve his current stack and settled on a fold.

Foxen Outdraws Moorman

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Chris Moorman had defended his big blind against a button raise from Alex Foxen. Moorman check-called 600 on a {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, before both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the turn.

Moorman bet 1,500 on the {7-Clubs} river and Foxen spent some time in the tank before calling. Moorman showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a set, Foxen showed {K-Spades}{6-Clubs} for the runner-runner straight and won the hand.

Quoss Snap-Mucks a Set

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

A player in the small blind led out for 2,000 on a completed board of {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Fabian Quoss made it 7,500 to go in middle position, and a third player piled in 15,000 from the button. The small blind mucked, and Quoss immediately threw {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} into the middle.

"Fold?" the dealer asked.

"Of course."

He was right to be certain, as the winning player showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.
