De Souza Doubles Through Joelsson
There have been plenty of fireworks early on in this event, epitomized by this massive hand that just took place. Action started with "Geokarak" raising to 2,000. Big stack Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs reraised to 6,750, and he was called by Mathias "giftmyra" Joelsson. Next to act, Belarmino "PaGaOVelhinho" de Souza put out a four bet to an even 20,000, which got folds from "Geokarak" and "APonakov."
Joelsson called, and the flop came down 
. Joelsson checked, and de Souza led for 14,000. Joelsson check raised to 37,000, and de Souza quickly shoved all in for 58,000 and change. Joelsson called with pocket eights, but he was well behind the 
of de Souza. No further help would come for Joelsson, and the big double up was sent to de Souza.
