Scobai Doubles; Navarro Eliminated

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alejandro Navarro flicked his last 210,000 in the pot under the gun, and the action folded all the way to the blinds when Ion Scobai chose to call from the small blind, and Enrique Baldeon also chose to call from the big blind. Scobai and Baldeon took a flop while Navarro was all-in and at risk.

Scobai and Baldeon both checked the 274 flop, but when the Q turn peeled off, there were fireworks as Scobai shoved for 400,000 and was called by Baldeon to put two players at risk as Baldeon had both covered.

The 6 peeled off on the river, and Scobai showed KQ for top pair. Baldeon showed Q10 for an inferior kicker as Navarro was sent to the rail and Scobai doubled.

Chudapal Bops Yu

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Chong Yu shoved from the button for 480,000 and was called in the big blind by Siarhei Chudapal to put Yu at risk.

Chong Yu: A4All in
Siarhei Chudapal: KJ

Yu was ahead before the flop, but the first card out was not what he wanted to see when it came J610 on the flop. The 6 turn and the 2 river offered no drama as Yu was sent to the payout desk.

Castellanos Spikes a Lady to Take Out Simon

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mark Simon moved all in from early position for his last 135,000, and action was folded to Jonathon Castellanos in the small blind, who went into the tank before he announced that he was all in as well. Jean Pasqualini in the big blind folded.

Mark Simon: A9All in
Jonathon Castellanos: Q8

The flop of 744 was nice for Simon, but fraught with danger. The turn brought the 9, and it was looking like he had secured a double-up, until the Q fell on the river, giving Castellanos a pair of queens and the pot to send Simon to the rail.
