Vieira Ramps Up Aggression

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Brian Rast opened to 200,000 from early position and was called by Joao Vieira in middle position as well as Sean Perry in the big blind.

Perry checked on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Rast continued for 250,000. Vieira made the call while Perry folded to setup heads-up action heading to the turn.

Action checked through the {2-Hearts} turn to the {q-Clubs} river where Rast led out for 750,000. Vieira burned through several time banks before choosing to raise to 2,350,000. Rast wasted little time in folding to send more chips Vieira's way.

Schedule Change

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Originally, the schedule for today was to play down to five players. However, after some discussion, the tournament director has announced that play will instead continue for at least 12 levels with the option of continuing until a winner is crowned.

Alexandros Theologis opened to 220,000 from early position and was three-bet to 650,000 by Brian Rast in the cutoff. Action folded back to Theologis who moved all in. Rast snapped it off with the bigger stack to put Theologis at risk.

Alexandros Theologis: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Brian Rast: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Theologis was racing to survive but faced long odds after the {5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. The {a-Clubs} turn left him drawing to two outs but he was unable to find any help on the {7-Diamonds} river, ending his tournament run in 9th place.
