Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Hugo Marcelo - Day 1a
Hugo Marcelo - Day 1a

It's a been a good day so far for the Brazilian poker star Hugo Marcelo. He started the day with 121,000 chips, but he's nearly doubled that already within the first two levels.

In a recent hand, Marcelo opened with a raise to 4,500 from under the gun. He found a call from the player to his left, the player on the button, Francisco Araujo in the small blind and Ramiro Petrone in the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and action checked around to the player under the gun +1. He moved all in and action folded back to Marcelo who called.

Marcello: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Under The Gun +1: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board bricked out for the early position player when it came {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} making Marcelo's queens and fives best. He collected the players roughly 40,000 chip stack and was able to climb well over 200,000 chips.
