The Classic Ace Bluff?

When it comes to WSOP bracelet hunts Nicolas Fierro had a few close calls this Summer. The man from Chile finished 3rd in the $5,000 Shootout for $198,096 and then finished a very respectable 34th place in the Main Event itself for $242,636. He has just been moved to the left of former chip leader Roberto Romanello. Notice the use of the word former! It appears Fierro has settled in quite nicely and has taken some chips from the Welshman and has now become our new chip leader. Here he is in action against Victor Ramdin.

There was a raise by Ramdin in first position and Romanello and Fierro called in the blinds. The flop was {K-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Spades} and the action checked around to Fierro who bet 3,000 and only Ramdin called. The turn of {Q-Hearts} was checked through and the river {10-Hearts} brought a little bit more action. Fierro bet 6,200 but Ramdin raised it up to 18,000. Fierro had a rye smile on his face and looked like he was going to call before eventually folding. Ramdin flipped over the lone {A-Spades} and there were a few smirks around the table

Spinks Pulls Off Crazy Hold

From cut-off there was a raise to 1,400 and Guillaume Humbert three-bet to 3,500 from the button. Jon Spinks was in the big blind and called, they went three way to the flop.

The flop was {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Spinks potted right away after which Humbert got in his remaining chips for a total of 29,000. Spinks called giving us a very exciting showdown.

Jon Spinks{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Guillaume Humbert{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river the {3-Hearts} giving Spinks the win with just a pair of jacks. The young Brit is amongst the chip leaders at this point with just 35 minutes of play left.

Car Wreck

Tommy Vedes, Rocco Palumbo and Martin Fernando managed to get all of their chips into the middle three-way. Vedes had everyone at the table covered so was not at risk of elimination but the other two were.

Palumbo{A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Fernando{7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts}
Vedes{10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades}

Board: {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

The result of the fracas was an elimination for Fernando, a dent for Vedes and a double up for Palumbo.

Kostritsyn Four Bet Silences Gonzalez

Alexander Kostritsyn raised to 1,200 in the hijack seat and there was a cold call from the cut-off before Fabrizio Gonzalez squeezed out a three-bet from the button making it 5,400 to play. All eyes veered towards Kostritsyn and he four-bet the total pot which was 15,200. The cut-off folded and Gonzalez went into the tank.

"These nits," Lacay joked.

Gonzalez decided to bide his time and made the fold.

Lacay Sends Two Guys Packing

John Racener
John Racener

After pre flop potting action John Racener got his remaining 4,000 chips in the middle and Mark Teltscher had 5,500 invested when the flop brought out {10-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Teltscher put in his last 1,500 chips and Lacay called instantly putting both his opponents at risk.

Ludovic Lacay{K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Mark Teltscher{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
John Racener{A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river the {3-Diamonds} giving Lacay a double knock out and more chips to work with.

Speranza Gives Chips to Solomon

Alessandro Speranza raised in first position and Jarred Solomon three-bet, one seat to his left. The action folded around to Speranza and he four-bet the total of the pot which was 8,100 and Solomon made the call. It was one of those calls that was inevitably going to be followed by an all-in on the flop. The dealer handed the boys a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and Speranza was the first one into the pot followed by Solomon and we had another showdown on our hands.

Showdown

Solomon{K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Speranza{A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds}

Solomon needed some help and the poker gods decided to give it to him.

Turn: {A-Spades} & River: {K-Spades}

Speranza handed all of the chips he had won from Ashby (and some) to Solomon and was left in a very precarious position.
