Day 1 Completed

Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez Eliminated in 2nd Place ($5,187.18)

Level 34 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez shoved for his last 843,868 on the button and John "GameofEdges" Forlenza called to put Lopez at risk.

Lopez: {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Forlenza: {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Forlenza had Lopez dominated going into the flop, which came {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} — vaulting Forlenza into an almost insurmountable lead.

Lopez would need running kings to stay alive, but the {q-Clubs} turn left him drawing dead.

A {6-Hearts} dutifully completed the board and eliminated Lopez in 2nd place.

Stay tuned for a re-cap of today's event.

Forlenza Doubles Through Lopez

Level 33 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez opened to 160,000 and John "GameofEdges" Forlenza called.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Forlenza checked to Lopez, who continued for 160,000. Forlenza used up quite of a bit of his timebank before opting to check-raise to 376,000. Lopez didn't take long to shove all-in, which was enough to put Forlenza at risk for his last 776,000. Forlenza called.

Forlenza: {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Lopez: {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Lopez was two cards away from winning the tournament and would need to fade the open-ended straight draw of Forlenza to win.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the {j-Hearts} turn left Lopez drawing dead. A meaningless {6-Hearts} completed the board and Forlenza doubled through.

Level 32 : 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

Angel "Chr0meKing" Lopez opened to 140,000 and John "GameofEdges" Forlenza called.

Both players checked the {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop.

When the {j-Spades} came on the turn, Forlenza check-raised a 140,000 bet from Lopez to 420,000. Lopez called.

Both players checked the {8-Clubs} river and Forlenza showed {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for two pair. Lopez mucked and Forlenza scooped the pot.
