Marquine Staying Afloat

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Francisco Araujo raised to 1,600 from the hijack and Juan Marquine called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Marquine quickly checked. Araujo checked behind.

The turn brought the {5-Spades} and both players checked again.

The {4-Spades} fell on the river and Marquine checked. Araujo bet 1,200 and after a few moments of consideration, Marquine called. Araujo shook his head and after a brief pause, showed only the {10-Diamonds}. Marquine tabled {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for ace high, which was good enough to win the pot and provide some slight reinforcement to his short stack.

Balzano Missteps and Doubles One

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Ivan Balzano
Ivan Balzano

With 6,500 already in the pot, Ivan Balzano was facing off against one opponent. The board was {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Balzano's opponent moved all in for 4,800 total. Balzano thought about it for a bit before tossing in the chip to call.

Balzano: {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The board completed with the {A-Diamonds} and {5-Hearts} and that left Balzano with the second best hand and he was forced to send over the chips to the other player.

Trevillian Takes a Little One From the Little Blind

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player opened from under the gun + 1 to 1,600 and he found calls from the button, Brett Trevillian in the small blind, and the player in the big blind.

The flop came down {2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and all four players checked around to see the {7-Clubs} hit the turn. There, Trevillian led out with a bet of 3,500 which only the big blind called.

Both players decided to check on the {K-Spades} turn. Trevillian showed {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for fourth pair, but it was good as his opponent could only show {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. That pot pushed Trevillian to right around 37,000 in chips.

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Juan Guillenea
Juan Guillenea

Juan Guillenea raised to 2,000 from the button and Ezequiel Ferretty three-bet jammed from the small blind for 15,600. After a few moments of consideration, Guillenea called to put Ferretty at risk.

Guillenea: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Ferretty: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Ferretty had the preflop advantage but was racing for his tournament life and Guillenea needed to improve in order to win the pot. The board ran out {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} giving Guillenea trip aces and sending Ferretty to the rail.

The {A-Hearts} fell on the river and Sala bet 2,000. His opponent called and Sala tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, having paired his ace on the river. The button flipped over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Sala took the pot.

Sagstuen Can't Bluff Niciforo

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

With 7,000 already in the pot and a board of {3-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} Endre Sagstuen was first to act. He put out a bet of 4,000 which Mario Niciforo, his only opponent, called.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Sagstuen bet again. This time he made it 6,000. Niciforo thought for a long time, thinking through the hand before he finally cut out the chips to call, and tossed them towards the pot. Sagstuen showed {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for just a missed flush draw, but it was no good as Niciforo turned up {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, and that earned him the pot.

Francisco Araujo Sends One Home

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

With about 6,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}, Francisco Araujo was under the gun and heads-up against the player on the button. Araujo checked, his opponent bet 1,900, and Araujo check-raised to 7,000. His opponent called.

The turn brought the {5-Spades} and Araujo moved what looked like 60,000 chips into the middle, putting his opponent to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He called to put himself at risk and both players tabled their hands.

Araujo: {A-Spades}{4-Spades}
Button: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Araujo was in great shape with trip fours and his opponent needed to catch a jack on the river in order to double up. The {7-Hearts} changed nothing and Araujo took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
