"verve.oasis" Early Chip Leader on Day 1c

Gabriel Goffi
Gabriel Goffi

In just the first orbit we caught an all in a and a call at Table 294 of the Yellow Section in the Pavilion Room.

We found Brazilian online sensation Gabriel "verve.oasis" Goffi and a player that refused to give his name in Seat 4 on a flop of {4-Hearts} {J-Spades} {5-Spades}. Goffi bet and the player that refused to give his name shoved. Goffi called and the hands were tabled.

Goffi: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Player that refused to give his name: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

The board completed {Q-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} and Goffi spiked his two-outer on the river. He virtually doubled up on the third hand and the player that refused to give his name is relegated to just 250 chips. He will certainly have a long day in front of him.
