Brasilia Bronze Chip Counts

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Hakim Tank-Folds

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With the action on the {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts} river and around 22,500 in the pot, Jeff Hakim checked in the big blind and his opponent fired 20,600 from the cutoff. Hakim spent several minutes thinking and some of the other players used that break to stand up and stretch their legs. Then, Hakim finally waived the white flag, signalling a fold by slightly moving his cards towards the muck.

Abernathy Builds Stack

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Samantha Abernathy
Samantha Abernathy

Several players in the Amazon Orange section have been able to build their stack and among them was Samantha Abernathy.

Scott Matte raised to 2,200 from early position and Abernathy three-bet to 6,000 from one seat over. Matte called and checked the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop. A continuation bet worth 7,000 did the trick for Abernathy to claim the pot uncontested right there.

Liptak Eliminates Barer

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Neal Liptak opened early to 2,500 and Ami Barer shoved for 8,800 in the cutoff. The big blind cold-called and Liptak raised 23,000 more. That induced a frustrated fold from the big blind and Liptak showed down his {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Barer was flipping with a nice price holding {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} but the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} board brought him no help.

Killeen Doubles Through Ludlow

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The board already read {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and a player checked to Benjamin Ludlow. He put out a bet of 8,000 and next to him sat Kevin Killeen who called. The third player in the hand folded.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Ludlow checked to Killeen. Killeen announced "all in" and Ludlow wanted a count. The all-in was for 15,400 and Ludlow started to think about. Ludlow called eventually, but when Killeen opened up {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} he knew that he couldn't win against the nuts.

Garbi Leads Main Feature Table

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Phil Hellmuth returned with some delay from the dinner break and was just involved in a small pot over on the main feature table. Hellmuth's raise was called by Ravid Garbi and James Campbell and the trio headed to a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Action checked to Hellmuth and his bet of 2,000 was called by Garbi only. On the {2-Diamonds} turn, Hellmuth checked and folded to a bet of 3,000 by Garbi.
