Ladies Love Cabrera

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Cabrera raised from early position and Ran Shahar defended his big blind to see a {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Shahar led out for 250,000 and Cabrera called bringing the {k-Hearts} turn. Shahar continued with another 250,000 bet and Cabrera called.

After the {k-Spades} paired the board on the river, both players checked and tabled their hands.

Shahar was hesitant but quickly flashed a {6-}{5-} but it was no good as Cabrera rolled over {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} to win the pot.

Kiriopoulos Joins Some Big Stacks on Table 484

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos just got moved to a new table and was met with a couple of other big stacks in Jesse Lonis and Matija Dobric. Kiriopoulos opened to 80,000 in middle position and Oshri Lahmani three-bet to 260,000 in the cutoff.

The action folded back to Kiriopoulos who dropped in a stack of 100,000 chips which got Lahmani to quickly muck his cards.

Matos-Erarte Slow-Plays Aces and Busts

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Matthew Jewett raised to 85,000 on the button and was called by Matos-Erarte in the big blind. On a {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Matos-Erarte check-called for 65,000 and checked again the {j-Spades} on the turn. Jewett now bet 200,000 and called the shove of Matos-Erarte.

Carlos Matos-Erarte: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Matthew Jewett: {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Matos-Erarte had slow-played his aces and that backfired, as the {9-Diamonds} river provided no help. He grabbed his smartphone to snap a picture of the showdown before heading to the payout desk.

Cowen Gets Away From the Third Nuts

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

It was only a small pot to the {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades} river and Benjamin Armstrong checked his option out of the big blind. Robert Cowen then made it 400,000 to go and Armstrong opted for a massive raise to two million. A crowd gathered on the nearby rail and the camera crews also rushed to the table as Cowen was deep in the tank.

After more than three minutes, Cowen said "I feel like I gonna fold". Another 30 seconds passed and Cowen indeed folded, revealing the {j-Spades}{2-Spades} for the third nuts. Armstrong returned the favour and showed his {k-Spades}{7-Spades} for the nuts.

"I raised too much. If I make it 1.2 million you probably gonna call," Armstrong admitted after the hand was over.

The table has been the most active so far with many big pots every other minute. Norbert Koh's arrival brought another big stack to the table and it will go to the feature stages after the upcoming dinner break.

Halan Bows Down to Cabrera's Aggression

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a preflop three-bet pot to the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop, Brett Halan's small continuation bet in the small blind was called by David Cabrera on the button. Halan already slowed down on the {5-Hearts} turn and check-called before checking the {8-Hearts} on the river.

Cabrera now bet 680,000 and that sent Halan into the tank. He eventually folded and the pot was pushed to the Spaniard.

Woo Gets Aces to Eliminate Arora

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jung Woo opened to 90,000 in late position and Kyle Arora flat-called behind him, as did Nick Petrangelo in the big blind.

Woo bet 250,000 on the flop of {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades} and only Arora called. Woo bet 680,000 on the {4-Diamonds} turn to put his opponent all-in and Arora called.

Kyle Arora: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Jung Woo: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Woo was ahead with aces against the pair of queens of Arora and sent his opponent to the rail when the {j-Spades} peeled off on the river.

Veksler All But Doubles Through Remitio

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Pavlo Veksler and Joshua Remitio were heads-up in a pot that had around 240,000 in the middle.

Remitio checked from the big blind and Veksler tossed in a bet of 110,000 from the cutoff. Remitio called and the {7-Hearts} paired the board on the river. Remitio checked again and Veksler pushed out a bet of 380,000, leaving himself with just 5,000 behind.

Remitio contemplated for a minute and then made the call. Veksler turned over {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight and Remitio mucked his cards.

Kniep Puts Vaizman in the Danger Zone

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With a completed board of {8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} on the table, it was Andreas Kniep who bet 300,000. The bet was for about half of Moshe Vaizman's remaining stack, who spent the better part of three minutes in the tank before calling it off.

Kniep confidently rolled over {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Vaizman nodded it was good.

East Flops Ace to Double Through Patel

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sean Ragozzini raised to 80,000 from middle position and was called by Hiren Patel from the small blind before Jareth East squeezed all in for 472,000 from the big blind.

Ragozzini released his hand while Patel called and the two hands were tabled.

Jareth East: {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Hiren Patel: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

East was behind holding two overs and found relief after the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop paired his ace.

The {4-Diamonds} turn was of no consequence to East nor was the {5-Spades} that followed on the river and he collected his double-up.
