Veldhuis Loses Flip, Doubles Macedo

Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis opened to 61,500 from early position before Victor "vituhu3" Macedo put in a three-bet to 300,000 from the hijack. Macedo only left himself 49,404 chips back and Veldhuis decided to make a four-bet to put those at risk as well. Macedo made the call and the cards were turned face-up.

Victor "vituhu3" Macedo: A♠Q♥
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: J♦J♠

The flop of 8♦3♥4♦ was clean for Veldhuis, but the Q♣ turn massively changed the favorite in this hand. No jack was rivered as the 2♠ rolled off, and Macedo raked in a double to roughly 25 big blinds. Veldhuis, in the meantime, was left with around the same stack.

PokerStars Ambassadors Win and Bust

Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

"behindme93" minraised to 60,000 from under the gun and Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo made it 150,000 to go from the button, leaving himself only 15,956 chips back. The action folded back to "behindme93", who put in the extra chips as well and Lococo made the call.

Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo: A♥10♠
"behindme93": J♦10♦

It was looking good for Lococo, however, "behindme93" took the lead when the flop hit J♥K♥4♣. The turn 5♠ and river 7♠ did not contain any of Lococo's outs, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Simultaneously, at another table, "meM@nu" opened his button to 66,000 before Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas made the call from the big blind.

Colillas then check-raised "meM@nu"s 44,250 bet to 150,000 on a flop of Q♦9♦Q♣ and received a call from his opponent. The 6♦ turn saw another 225,00 bet from Colillas, and again "meM@nu" called.

On the 10♠ river, Colillas made a bet big enough to cover "meM@nu"s 559,920 remaining chips. They immediately called and saw that Colillas had rivered a full house with his Q♥10♦. "meM@nu", on the other hand, had hit his gutshot straight draw on the same river with K♥J♦.

"meM@nu" busted, while Colillas now plays a huge stack of nearly 100 big blinds.

Paiva Hits a Seven

Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Tomas "T 54 T 97s" Paiva open-jammed his 398,492 stack in the middle from the cutoff. Big stack "dujo123" was in the small blind and made the call.

Tomas "T 54 T 97s" Paiva: A♣7♠
"dujo123": A♦K♥

Paiva was in bad shape, but the A♥J♥7♣ flop brought some relief. No kings, counterfeits, or backdoors were about on the 4♠ turn and 3♠ river, and Paiva secured a double-up. "dujo123" could suffer the loss as they still have over 100 big blinds to play with,

Player	Chips	Progress
dujo123	3,511,321
Tomas "T 54 T 97s" Paiva	867,984

Level: 28

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Bujtas Rolls Over "Sergey260594" and Doubles

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas was sitting on a 417,930 stack and went all-in from the hijack. The action folded to "Sergey260594" in the big blind, who made the call.

Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas: A♦Q♣
"Sergey260594": A♥8♠

Bujtas was a big favorite, but the 2♥2♣4♦ flop brought some chop outs. However, the 7♦ turn and 3♠ river remained safe for the Hungarian, and he doubled up to roughly 22 big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sergey260594	1,934,432
Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas	895,860 584,113	584,113

Ruijs Flies Away

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Joris "BillLewinsky" Ruijs opened to 80,000 from early position and the action folded to "!Mp!yavv" in the big blind. They went all-in for 641,246 chips, barely covering Ruijs' stack by 64,160. Ruijs made the call and the cards were tabled.

Joris "BillLewinsky" Ruijs: A♥10♥
"!Mp!yavv": 10♣10♠

Ruijs could not hit an ace on the 4♠K♦3♠K♥Q♣ runout and that spelled the end of his tournament.
