Ali Reza Fatehi opened for 6,000 and over on the button Ivan Luca three-bet to 16,000. Both blinds folded, Fatehi called.

Fatehi check-called 24,000 on the {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop before checking again on the {4-Spades} turn. Luca bet 55,200 and Fatehi shoved for about 90,000 or so. Luca snap called with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, meaning Fatehi was in trouble with his {A-Spades}{5-Spades}.

The river {Q-Clubs} was a blank and Fatehi was eliminated.

Thorel's Missclick Costs Moraes a Fortune

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel wanted to raise from under the gun and apparently made it 51,000 to go, before the action folded to Rafael Moraes in the big blind. He used one time bank chip and then announced all in, and Thorel called it off.

Jean-Noel Thorel: 6s6d]
Rafael Moraes: [6KcQh]

The board came {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Thorel doubled for massive 196,300. "It is a good size for six six," Isaac Haxton on the same table joked.
