Grafton Gets It in Dead

Frank Visser

Level 18 : Blinds 3,500/7,000, 875 ante

The action folded to "uremyatm" on the button, who raised to 15,400. Sam "SamSquid" Grafton was in the big blind and put in the extra chips for a call.

The flop of 3♣J♠9♣ saw Grafton check to "uremyatm", who made a bet of 27,258. Grafton then minraised to 54,516 and his opponent called.

On the turn 8♠, Grafton put in the remainder of "uremyatm"s stack, 127,791 chips. They made the call and Grafton received bad news.

"uremyatm": J♥9♥
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: J♣5♠

Grafton had zero percent to win the hand, as "uremyatm" was sitting on top two pair. The 5♣ river put some salt in Grafton's wounds as he was forced to relinquish the pot to his opponent.

Vousden Flips to Seven Figures

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden has had a rocket start to his Day 2. He was already sitting on a stack just shy of one million when "MaxHendrix" raised to 17,600 from middle position. Vousden then three-bet to 52,800 from the button and the action folded back to "MaxHendrix".

They put in the four-bet jam for 236,630 and Vousden called rapidly.

"MaxHendrix": A♠K♠
Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden: J♠J♥

The flop of J♣5♥5♠ all but declared Vousden the victor and the 9♣ turn made it official. The J♦ river made him a useless four of a kind to make Vousden enter the top ten chip stacks.

Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden	1,253,155 837,644	837,644

Veldhuis Books an Elimination

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

"BlindGuy789" raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis defended his big blind. On the 2♦J♠10♥ flop, "BlindGuy789" continued for another 13,200 and Veldhuis check-called.

The 9♦ turn came about and Veldhuis checked again. This time, "BlindGuy789" bet 21,120 and Veldhuis responded by putting his opponent all-in for 122,499 total. "BlindGuy789" made the call and Veldhuis was looking to score a knock-out.

"BlindGuy789": J♣Q♦
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: 9♣10♠

A fortunate turn for Veldhuis, who made two pair. He faded the straight and other outs of his opponent on the 6♥ river and scored another pot. He has already tripled his stack since the start of play as he is looking to make another deep run this SCOOP.

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis	666,586 445,695	445,695

Lococo Leaves Himself Short

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

Liviu "0Human0" Ignat made a raise to 20,000 from under the gun and Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo made the call from the big blind. On the A♠K♣Q♦ flop, Ignat bet the minimum of 10,000 and Lococo check-called.

Having only 71,537 chips behind, Lococo checked the 2♦ turn as well. Ignat put the Argentinian PokerStars Ambassador all-in, but used some seconds of his time bank before he decided he was better off saving his chips for another spot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Liviu "0Human0" Ignat	524,598 300,601	300,601
Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo	71,537 -366,371	-366,371

Colillas Calls Correctly to Enter the Milly Club

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

The action folded to "Avrora-sp" in the small blind and they made a raise to 35,600. Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas sat in the big blind and called the raise.

The pair checked the 3♠K♣J♦ flop before "Avrora-sp" made a bet of 45,000 on the 10♦ turn. Colillas called and the 2♦ river appeared.

"Avrora-sp" now made an overbet of 210,000. Colillas took some time before he eventually came up with the call. "Avrora-sp" could only show a bluff with A♣4♦, while Colillas made a courageous call with his top pair, holding K♥9♦.

Colillas now joins the rank of players with more than one million chips in their stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas	1,090,442 763,448	763,448

Avrora-sp	623,404
