Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Joe Hachem opened to 1,700 from middle position and received calls from Michael Ertel in late position, Benjamin Reed in the cutoff and the big blind to send action four-ways to the flop.

Both the big blind and Hachem checked following the 7♥9♥10♦ flop, prompting Ertel to lead out for 6,000. Reed made the call while the big blind and Hachem got out of the way.

Ertel slowed down on the 6♦ turn and checked to Reed, who fired off 8,400. After some thought, Ertel called.

The board pairing 10♥ river saw the betting lead change once again with Ertel choosing to take an aggressive line by making it 15,000 to call. Reed did not appear entirely comfortable with the situation and did end up tossing his hand away to send the pot to Ertel.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player from under the gun opened the action to 1,900 and only popular YouTuber Timothy "TheTrooper" Watts made the call in the cutoff.

The flop fanned out A♣9♠6♠ and the under-the-gun player continued for 1,500, which Watts called. On the 2♥ turn the initial raiser slowed down with a check to Watts who announced a bet of 4,000. His opponent took a few seconds to contemplate his decision, but eventually let his cards go and the pot was sent to "TheTrooper".

Coelho Sees His Short Stack Melt

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Diogo came into Day 2d with only ten big blinds and, after less than half a level, just four remained. His last 3,200 went in the middle after an early position raise from Jeffrey Borris and a call from Renan Meneguetti from middle position.

The two players with actions checked through to the river on 8♦J♥5xK♦Q♦. Meneguetti bet 3,000 on the river after a third check from Borris, but the latter quickly folded.

Meneguetti showed A♠10♥ for Broadway and Coelho's 3♠3♣ had no shot at beating that.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alfonso Cammarota was in the big blind when he faced a raise from a late position player of 2,000 and the cutoff had flat called. Cammarota decided a raise was in order and made it 6,000. After a little deliberation, the late position player called and the cutoff folded . The flop came out Q♣5♥6♥ and Cammarota came out firing with 3,500; the late position player called.

The turn was the 6♦ and Cammarota was not letting his foot off the gas pedal. He placed a bet of 5,000 and the late position player stayed in again.

The river was the 6♣ and Cammarota made the final bet 9,000. The late position player called and mucked when Cammarota flipped over J♠J♥ for the full house.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jeffrey Farnes raised to 2,000 from the hijack before Frederico Dornelas three-bet on the button to 6,000. Action folded back around to Farnes, who called to go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer turned over 7♥8♣4♥ and Farnes checked over to Dornelas, who bet enough to put him all in. Farnes quickly called for his last 12,000.

Jeffrey Farnes: 9♦9♥
Frederico Dornelas: J♣J♠

Farnes found himself dominated and at risk, finding no help on the 8♦ turn or 10♠ river as last year's sixth-place finisher was sent to the rail early on Day 2d.

Alejandro Lococo opened to 1,600 from under the gun and Steve Wakeman defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the K♠8♦6♠ flop leading to the Q♠ on the turn. Wakeman bet 2,000 and Lococo made the call.

Wakeman fired again on the A♦ river, this time for 4,000. Lococo raised to 16,000 and Wakeman quickly made the call.

Lococo tabled K♦K♣ for top set on the flop but Wakeman revealed J♠2♠ for a jack-high flush to take the pot down, leaving Lococo short-stacked with about 12,000 chips left.

Lococo was eliminated a few hands later. According to the players at his table, he got his last chips in with 10x8x suited on a ten-high flop against pocket queens and failed to improve.
