Internet Back...Kind Of

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

The internet is back in the Rio but unfortunately not in the Pavilion room where the $1k event is taking place. Because of this, we've had to retreat to the (slower) wireless internet in the Amazon room which is away from the tournament area.

This will mean updates for the last level will come a little less frequently.

Hummmmm-berto

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in middle position raised to 725 and Humberto Brenes reraised to 2,700. His opponent called to see a flop of {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} where the latter checked as Brenes began to hum a tune and bet 2,600.

Brenes' opponent then check-raised all in which stopped the Costa Rican's humming fairly quickly as he tanked for a couple of minutes before eventually folding, dropping to 16,000 as a result.

Interwebs?

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

The internet has gone out in the Pavilion. And it's really hard to type updates on an iPhone. We hope to be back in business soon.

Level: 8

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 50

As Wesley Snipes said in Passenger 57, "Always bet on Black!"
