Guerra Goes to War with Arieh

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante
Lautaro Guerra
Lautaro Guerra

After a couple of limps, Lautaro Guerra raised to 5,200 in the cutoff. Josh Arieh called from early position as did the hijack. The flop came {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and the action checked to Guerra who bet 10,500. Arieh called and the other player folded.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and Arieh checked again. Guerra threw in another bet of 27,000 and Arieh eventually called. The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and both players knuckled the table.

"One pair," Arieh announced. Guerra turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for two pair and dragged in the pot.

Will Jaffe

With 54,800 in the middle to the {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, James Chen bet the pot and Will Jaffe gave it some thought before moving all-in Chen instantly called and the cards were flipped over.

James Chen: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Joni Jouhkimainen

Joni Jouhkimainen raised it up from under the gun and was called by the button and Roussos Koliakoudakis in the big blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Jouhkimainen continued with a bet of 3,800 which only Koliakoudakis called.

The {3-Hearts} landed on the turn and Koliakoudakis check-called another bet of 9,000 from Jouhkimainen. The {6-Diamonds} completed the board and Koliakoudakis checked for the third time. Jouhkimainen fired out another bet of 16,000 and Koliakoudakis tanked for a minute before making the call.

Jouhkimainen turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for top two pair and Koliakoudakis showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the same hand.

Le Eliminated by Brewer

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante
Tommy Le
Tommy Le

On a flop of {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Tommy Le ended up at risk with the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a straight draw and back door heart draw. Chris Brewer looked him up with the {x-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a set of fives and prevailed when the {8-Clubs} turn and {7-Spades} river provided no help to Le.

He will, however, be able to re-enter as the tournament features a single re-entry option.
