Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Three players built a pot of about 12,000 preflop, and Jorma Nuutinen bet 4,000 from the big blind on the flop. Andrew Moreno called on the button. The turn was an and Nuutinen kept the aggression coming with 9,000. Again, Moreno called. On the river, Nuutinen put in his remaining 19,225.

This gave Moreno serious pause. He thought things over for a couple of minutes, as the shove was for most of his own stack — he'd have about 10,000 if he called and lost. Finally, he splashed in a call.

Nuutinen slapped down for an airball. Moreno showed .

Pissarides Sends Garcia Home

Yori Epskamp

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Two live satellite winners, Menelaos Pissarides and Fernando Garcia, were tangling with the board reading . On the river, Garcia bet 8,225, only to be met by an all in shove from the Cypriot.

Garcia agonized over his decision before flicking in the rest of his stack, about 15,000. Pissarides wasted no time in flipping over and clapped his hands in excitement. Garcia angrily flung in the muck and was out of the tournament.
