Vengrin Busts; Chip Counts from Other Half of Brasilia

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matt Vengrin called a three-bet and then got it all in on the {a-}{q-}{j-} flop. He showed {q-}{j-} for two pair, but was in bad shape against his opponent's {a-}{q-} for better two pair. The turn and river were {4-} and {9-}, sending Vengrin to the rail.

Marafioti Chops It

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matthew Marafioti has, without us noticing, chipped up to about 50,000. He started the day in the Amazon Room but is rocking a big stack here in Brasilia now. Marafioti just chopped a not too exciting pot, but it's still worth mentioning. On a {J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop he bet out 650 from the small blind. His opponent on the button made the call and both players checked the {10-Hearts} on the turn. The river brought another pair on the board with the {K-Clubs}, and Marafioti bet 900. The button made the call and bother players turned out to be playing the same hand: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for Marafioti, {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for his neighbor.

Five Bet Gets it Done

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

In a hand where there appeared to be a dead button, the cut off made it 600 to go. From the small blind David Baker three bet to 1,750 and the big blind folded. Action back to the cut off who bumped it up to 3,100 but that wasn't the end of it for Baker. He made it 4,750 and his opponent folded rather quickly.

Unavoidable Situation for Moorman

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Chris Moorman got coolered.
Chris Moorman got coolered.

Chris Moorman on the button, and his neighbor in the cut off, just got all their chips in pre flop. Moorman was already short with about 4,400 in chips, and must have been excited to see {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. His opponent had that one hand that is better than kings though: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Moorman was already halfway gone before the river was dealt, and rightfully so: {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} | {10-Spades} | {6-Hearts}.
