Big Pot to Rodrigues

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Anthony Rodrigues
Anthony Rodrigues

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} Anthony Rodrigues check-called a bet of 130,000 and saw a turn card which was the {10-Diamonds}. Again Rodrigues checked and this time Selides bet 300,000. Rodrigues called and then checked a third time on the {5-Spades} river. Selides wasted no time in firing our a hefty bet of 700,000.

Rodrigues thought for a few minutes before announcing raise and pushing forward 2.1m in chips. Selides went back and forth in his head before calling.

Rodrigues: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Selides: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Selides had turned a set, but Rodrigues rivered the nut straight and moved into a commanding chip lead once again

Deal Done; Time to Marvel at the Moon

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

A slight pause in proceedings, for the journalists at least, who all rush outside to marvel at the halo surrounding the moon for a minute.

Back to the poker, and despite the deal, neither player looks like easing up and both are intent on winning the remaining cash and the gold ring

Selides Flushes Out Rodrigues

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The two players saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Selides lead for 170,000. Rodrigues called.

On the turn {Q-Diamonds} Selides check-raised Rodrigues' bet of 300,000 to 900,000. Rodrigues made the call and saw the {7-Diamonds} on the river.

Selides then lead for 1,340,000 and Rodrigues went deep into the tank. He thought and swore, checked and re-checked his cards before calling. "Nuts" announced Selides, tabling {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, cue more swearing from Rodrigues.

Stalemate Ensues

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

There is very little in the way of action to report, with both players trading pots and each rail desperate for some action to shout about. Stacks are starting to even themselves out, with it looking increasingly likely that one hand will decide the match, as opposed to one player whittling down the other's stack
