Mora, Mora, Mora, How Do You Like It? How Do You Like It?

A double up for Carlos Mora, he check-raised all in for about 130,000 over the top of a 20,000 bet from Andrew Lichtenberger on a board reading {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

"LuckyChewy" made the call and they were on their backs.

Mora: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Lichtenberger: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

A {4-Spades} on the turn rid the room of any possible tension allowing Mora to double up after the {7-Clubs} river.

Alex Bilokur
Alex Bilokur

From under the gun, Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel raised to 16,000. Joao Vieira reraised from the cutoff seat to 41,000 and then Alex Bilokur, the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller champion, reraised all in for 213,000 from the small blind.

Action moved back to Duhamel and he folded. Vieira took a few moments, then made the call with the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. Bilokur had the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

The flop came out {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Vieira picked up top pair to maintain the lead. Bilokur got help in the form of a flush draw and landed that flush after the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn. The river completed the board with the {4-Spades} and Bilokur doubled up.

Alvarado Suffers Tough Beat

Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira raised to 24,000 in the small blind before JC Alvarado made it 56,000 in the big blind. Vieira moved all in and Alvarado instantly called.

Vieira: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Alvarado: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The flop was {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Vieira flopped a gutshot but Alvarado picked up a flush draw, the {A-Diamonds} turn changed nothing but the {9-Hearts} brought some audible groans from some of the other players.

"Does that qualify as 'so sick' Elky?" asked the saddened Mexican.

Kurganov Bounced

From the hijack seat, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 16,000. Tobias Reinkemeier called from the cutoff seat and then Igor Kurganov, the reigning PokerStars.com and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final €25,000 High Roller champion, reraised from the button for nearly all of his chips. Grospellier reraised all in, Reinkemeier folded and Kurganov called.

Kurganov held the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, but was in a tough spot against the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for Grospellier. After the flop came down {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Kurganov was in need of runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and the river the {6-Hearts}, eliminating Kurganov from the tournament.
