Delgado Dusts A Player in the Late Stages of Day 2

Frank Visser

Level 33 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

"mitiyy" opened to the minimum of 200,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado in the big blind. He made the three-bet to put "mitiyy" all-in for their 1,449,769 stack, and they made the call.

"mitiyy": J♥J♠
Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado: K♠Q♣

The flop was a good one for "mitiyy": 6♠5♥9♠ is what emerged. However, the K♦ turn spelled disaster, and the K♥ river added some insult to injury.

Only 104 players remain in contention now, and the end of Day 2 is drawing near, with only 24 more eliminations needed to reach it.

The End for Veldhuis

Level 33 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis was sitting on a stack of 975,603 chips, which he put all in when the action folded to him in the hijack. Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura was in the next seat over and made the call before the rest of the table mucked their cards.

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: 3♠3♥
Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura: J♦J♠

Veldhuis was heavily dominated and praying for a three to hit the board. However, none would arrive on the 5♦8♦A♥8♥A♣ runout. It spelled the end of his tournament. A deep run for the PokerStars Ambassador, but surely a disappointing finish for the ever-competitive Dutchman.

A Box of Tissues for Fierro

Level 32 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro was in the cutoff when the action folded to him. He elected to put in all of his 957,721 chips. "Geigamascht" was in the small blind and used the infamous tissue box throwable before rejamming 1,250,203 chips. The big blind folded and the players saw what the situation was.

Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro: K♥10♠
"Geigamascht": A♦K♦

The flop of 8♦3♦3♣ promised a bleak future for Fierro, however, the 10♣ turn shone a bright light on his chances to double up. Disappointingly, it was not for long, as the 9♦ brought the third diamond on board, resulting in "Geigamascht"s flush. Fierro was forced to leave the tournament, while "Geigamascht" fought to live another day.

Geigamascht	2,367,924
Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro	Busted

Level 32 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Camila "|_CáKons_|" Kons got her final 499,910 in from middle position and found a caller in Daniel "fauzika1" Camel in the small blind.

Camila "|_CáKons_|" Kons: Q♣J♠
Daniel "fauzika1" Camel: K♦10♠

Camel was in the lead and would remain so when both players paired a card on the K♠J♣7♠ flop. Neither the 8♣ turn nor the A♣ river brought the required cards for Kons, and she was eliminated as the day is slowly creeping towards its end.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel "fauzika1" Camel	5,133,758 2,991,834	2,991,834
Camila "\|_CáKons_\|" Kons	Busted

Level: 32

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Level 31 : Blinds 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

"MakuFz" was the only player with an eight-figure stack when "blebelea" made the minraise of 140,000 from the hijack. "Havana85" was in the cutoff and made it 385,000 to go, but "MakuFz" put their stack to work and squeezed out a four-bet to 726,250.

Both players, as well as the others on the table, folded their hands quickly and "MakuFz" extended their chip lead even further.

Player	Chips	Progress
MakuFz	11,237,305
blebelea	4,061,368
Havana85	2,205,181

Veldhuis Can Not Beat a Straight

Level 31 : Blinds 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 143,500. Joel "jvieiradias8" Dias was in the big blind and opted to defend.

The flop was fanned out royally as K♠J♠10♠ was shown on everyone's screens. Dias checked to Veldhuis, who bet 140,000 and received a call from his opponent. The turn 3♣ was consequently checked by both players.

On the 2♦ river, Dias took the betting lead and chose a size of 497,438. Veldhuis thought about it for a bit, but eventually made the call, only to get shown the Q♦9♠ of Dias. Nothing higher than a straight for Veldhuis, who mucked his cards and moved on to the next hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joel "jvieiradias8" Dias	3,627,352
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis	1,678,103 924,529	924,529
