Nacho Barbero

Lander Lijo raised to 20,000 from under the gun and Nacho Barbero defended his big blind. The flop came 6♠4♦2♦ and Barbero checked to Lijo who bet 35,000. Barbero check-raised to 85,000 and Lijo just called.

The turn brought the 10♥ and Barbero slid out a stack of 175,000, leaving just 10,000 behind. Lijo announced all in and Barbero called it off.

Nacho Barbero: 9♥9♦All in
Lander Lijo: J♥J♣

Barbero's pair of nines were out-classed by Lijo jacks and the 3♥ was not going to save him, sending him to the rail late on Day 1.

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jack Roser raised it up on the button and Michael Gathy reraised to 60,000 from the small blind. Roser just called and the dealer spread the flop of K♣K♦Q♣. Gathy led out with a bet of 35,000 and Roser still called.

The turn was the 10♥ and Gathy slid out a bet of 110,000. Roser quickly called again and the A♠ hit the river. Gathy made a small bet of just 50,000 and Roser jammed all in as the bigger stack.

Gathy used a time bank before calling off the additional 160,000, only to have Roser show Q♠Q♦ for a full house. Gathy was left with A♣J♦ for a straight and was bounced from the tournament.

Ben Heath raised to 16,000 from under the gun and was called by Aliaksandr Shylko and Kristen Foxen in the blinds. The flop came A♦Q♥J♣ and the blinds checked to Heath who continued with a bet of 14,000. Shylko called and Foxen got out of the way.

In a four-way pot on a board of 2♣8♦4♦, Laszlo Bujtas bet 42,000 from early position and Manuel Fritz called behind him before Vinny Lingham raised all in for around 235,000 from the button.

Jason Koon and Bujtas folded and Fritz called off with a stack of around 150,000.

Manuel Fritz: 9♥9♠ All in
Vinny Lingham: 10♣8♠

Fritz had the better pair, but the board finished out Q♠10♠ to give Lingham the winner and Fritz hit the rail as Koon started singing "V-V-V-Vinny and the Jets."

"I didn't expect him to have an overpair," Lingham said.

"It was barely an overpair," commented Joao Vieira.

"What does GTO say?" Lingham asked as he thought through the hand.

"It says hit that fu**in' river!" laughed Koon.

Brock Wilson: 10♠10♣ All in
Michael Gathy: 5♦4♦

Wilson was far in front and only improved on the 10♥ river to double through Gathy.

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel just arrived at the table with a fresh stack of chips which meant the table chatter instantly hit another level.

"Are we playing hold'em or fold'em," he asked before Michael Jozoff raised to 16,000 in the hijack. Gregory Jensen three-bet to 55,000 on the button and Jozoff called.

The flop came 10♠5♥2♣ and Jozoff checked to Jensen who wasted no time shoving all in for 190,000. Jozoff used a time bank and then opted to fold.

"I see you're playing hold'em," Kabrhel said to Jensen.

"I'm playing fold'em," Jozoff replied.
