O'Rourke Eliminates Palma

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

On a completed board of {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}, big blind Gavin O'Rourke was all in for about 110,000 effective when we got to his table. Small blind Antonio Palma was in the tank and deciding whether to call the slight overbet — the pot was about 90,000. Eventually, he slid his stack in.

Rourke tabled {j-Spades}{5-Spades} for a flush and Palma mucked what the dealer revealed to be {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

After an under the gun raise to 16,000 and a call in middle position, Matas Cimbolas on the button squeezed to 58,000. Markus Durnegger, in the small blind, raised to 100,000 with just 16,000 behind. The big blind, original raiser, and caller all folded. Cimbolas called and called blind the rest of the 16,000 as well.

Matas Cimbolas: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Markus Durnegger: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Durnegger hit the rail.

Moreira de Melo Wins Massive Three-Way All in

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Fatima Moreira De Melo
Fatima Moreira De Melo

Three players were all in preflop on the featured table: Fatima Moreira de Melo for 277,000, Arnaud Enselme for 140,000 and Aleksandr Mordvinov covering both of his opponents.

Mordvinov: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Moreira de Melo: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Arnaud Enselme: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Moreira de Melo paired up on the {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop. The {5-Diamonds} turn brought a flush draw for Enselme, so the PokerStars Team Pro was sweating a bunch of rivers, but the {2-Spades} was safe for her.

Mitchell Gets it in With 100%

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
James Mitchell

When we arrived, the chips were already in and Michel Dattani was already getting up. When the hand was done, James Mitchell told us what had happened.

Mitchell opened the button and big blind Dattani called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Dattani check-called Mitchell's continuation bet.

Dattani checked again on the {10-Spades} turn and Mitchell bet again. Dattani shoved all in and Mitchell had the easy call.

Michel Dattani: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
James Mitchell: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The river {6-Spades} was inconsequential and Dattani said his goodbyes.

"Sick," Roca de Torres said with a smile. "Sick, sick, sick. I had a flush."

Foxen Eliminates Moshe

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the amounts, but Asi Moshe opened from middle position and found his neighbor Alex Foxen three-betting. When the action was back on Moshe, he shoved for about 140,000. Foxen called.

Asi Moshe: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Alex Foxen: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

"Chop?" asked Foxen after the flop had come {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}.

"Nah," replied Moshe with a smile.

Moshe would be right, but not in the way he intended. It came {10-Hearts}, {9-Spades} and Foxen made his straight to bust Moshe.
