Moreira de Melo Doubles Through Zyrin

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Fatima Moreira de Melo opened early to 45,000 and called a three-bet to 150,000 from Anatolii Zyrin (cutoff). On the {6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Moreira de Melo check-called 120,000. The PokerStars Team Pro checked the {10-Hearts} turn and got set in for 680,000, just a bit over the size of the pot. She tanked a couple of minutes and called.

Moreira de Melo: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Zyrin: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Zyrin had tried pushing a draw but found himself drawing dead. Moreira de Melo collected a huge double.

Golan Eliminates Yantsevich

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We found Valery Yantsevich all in for about 500,000 with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Navot Golan. It looked like Yantsevich had opened and called off when Golan shipped it from the big blind.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, no improvement to either player, so Golan collected the pot in the big flip.

Barriocanal Pays Off Sow

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Kalidou Sow and Daniel Barriocanal each put in 62,000 on a {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Spades} flop and both checked the {a-Hearts}, bringing an {8-Spades}. Sow, who was in middle position, checked. Barriocanal fired in 200,000 and Sow took awhile and then raised to 480,000. Barriocanal sighed and went into the tank. A couple of minutes later, he slid in calling chips but shook his head when Sow turned over {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the nuts.

Foxen Doubles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Alex Foxen (under the gun) got his 404,000 in chips in against Diego Zeiter (big blind) before the flop. Foxen had by far the best of it with {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} as Zeiter tabled {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The board would come {8-Spades}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Foxen scored the full double.
