Talbot Secures Much-Needed Double-Up

Frank Visser
Frank Visser
Level 17 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot sat in the cutoff and he jammed all in for 78,871 when the action folded to him. Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias was in the big blind and made the call.

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot: J♥8♥
Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias: K♥7♠

Talbot flopped a pair on 5♠6♠J♠, but Kolonias had a flush draw in addition to one overcard. Lukcily for Talbot, the spades remained absent on the 6♥A♣ runout and he doubled up, although he still has less chips than the 250,000 he entered today with.

Short-Stacked Veldhuis' Main Event Dreams Crushed

Level 17 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis raised to 30,800 on the button, leaving himself only 20,845 chips behind. Pedro "gusmaa" Gusma then put in the rest as well from the big blind and Veldhuis made the call.

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: J♥7♦
Pedro "gusmaa" Gusma: A♦6♦

The 3♠4♠A♠ flop left Veldhuis with little hope, and the 2♦ turn sealed the deal for the popular PokerStars streamer. He could do nothing but look on as the meaningless 8♦ river completed the board, and was eliminated from the tournament.

Laurie Tournier

Laurie "LaliTournier" Tournier raised to 28,000 from under the gun and Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura three-bet all in from the next seat over for 109,500. The action folded back to Tournier, who quickly called with the covering stack.

Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura: A♦Q♥
Laurie "LaliTournier" Tournier: K♠K♦

Tournier needed to fade an ace, and she did just so when the board ran out 2♥9♦4♣6♣8♦, eliminating Moura

Tournier started today as one of the absolute short stacks, but she has managed to chip up to an around-average stack.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Bruno "great dant" Volkmann raised to 24,000 from early position and "lildani9" three-bet to 90,000 from the next seat over. Stevan "random_chu" Chew sat in the hijack and saw an opportunity to get his 183,860 stack in the middle, which he did.

Volkmann folded and "lildani9" made the call with the covering stack.

Stevan "random_chu" Chew: 10♥10♣
"lildani9": K♦J♦

Chew's tens held on the 9♥6♠5♥Q♠A♥ runout and he secured a double-up, now being a fair few chips above the 250,000 stack he bought in with at the start of the day.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira raised to 24,438 from under the gun and the action folded to Alexandre "aminolast" Raymond in the big blind. He then shoved all in, covering Ferreira's 164,832 chips.

Ferreira made the call and the cards went face-up.

Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira: A♦Q♦
Alexandre "aminolast" Raymond: A♣K♦

Some chop outs appeared on the 3♣3♦6♥ flop, but Raymond's king kicker would remain in play on the A♥10♣ runout, sending Ferreira to focus on his other tournaments for the day.

Jeppsson Delivers Revenge with Suck-Out

"Revenge892" was one of the many late entries today and opened to 24,000 from the cutoff. Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson sat in the small blind and put out a three-bet to 78,000 before the action folded back to "Revenge892", who put in their stack of 231,400.

Jeppsson made the call and was delivered the bad news.

"Revenge892": Q♠Q♦
Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson: 7♦7♣

However, the A♣7♦K♣ flop saw Jeppsson turn his dominated hand into the dominating one, flopping a set to jump into the lead. No queen saved "Revenge892" on the 4♦A♦ runout and he was one of the many eliminations in the early minutes of Day 2.
