[Removed:426]: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Alexandre Mantovani: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Triana Ruiz Sends Karavas Packing

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Triana Ruiz opened to 55,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 150,000 by John Karavas in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Triana Ruiz, who responded by moving all in. Karavas called off with the effective stack to put his tournament life on the line.

John Karavas: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Daniel Triana Ruiz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

It was a race but one that Triana Ruiz took a commanding lead in following the {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop. The {7-Spades} turn left Karavas hoping for a miraculous two outer to survive but it did not come in on the {9-Clubs} river, sending him to the rail after a relatively deep run.

Buckner Ousted by Superior Ace

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Steven Buckner
Steven Buckner

Steven Buckner moved in his 305,000 chips from early position and Cliff Maloney reshoved in the cutoff.

Steven Buckner: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Cliff Maloney: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Buckner reportedly said he only looked at one card, but he was in rough shape and loudly calling for an eight. The {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop provided chop outs, but the {j-Diamonds} and {q-Clubs} completed the board to eliminate the cigar-enthusiast Buckner.

Benso Left Drawing Dead on the Turn

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Efthymia Litsou opened to 50,000 in middle position and Sergio Benso defended from the big blind. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Benso led out with a bet of 40,000. Litsou just called and the {3-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn.

Benso ripped all in for around 400,000 and was met with a snap-call from Litsou. Benso turned over {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a pair and flush draw but was already drawing dead to the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} from Litsou. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Benso headed to the payout desk.

Lococo Puts Wien To The Test

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo
Alejandro Lococo

Jeremy Wien opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and was called by Alejandro Lococo on the button. Both blinds got out of the way to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Wien checked on a flop of {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and then called when Lococo led out for 50,000.

The turn came {q-Spades} and Wien checked for a second time. Lococo was in no mood to slow down and fired off another bet, this time sizing up to 155,000. Wien responded with a raise to 360,000, prompting Lococo to stand up and look over his opponent's stack before deciding on a call.

On the {3-Hearts} river Wien pushed 470,000 into the middle. Lococo once again rose to his feet, pondering his decision. He then sat back down and, with a deep breath, announced all in. Wien immediately appeared uncomfortable, removing his earphones and lowering his hood before saying, "I can only beat a bluff".

"Ace-Queen?" queried Lococo. "Close" Wien responded before going over the hand out loud. "You really have five-six?" Wien probed. "You're gonna show me if I fold?" Lococo remained stoic, offering no answer to either question. Eventually, Wien tossed his cards into the muck, handing a big boost to Lococo's stack early in the day.
