Lucas "duchasp4rati" Blanco

Spain's Lucas "duchasp4rati" Blanco, who resides in the United Kingdom, was among the early players to rebuy in today's event. He recently lost most of his stack with blinds at 50/100 after Slowplay0815 raised from late position to 100 before he called from the small blind and another player tagged along from the big blind.

Flop: {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

The action checked on the flop to Slowplay0815 who led for 225. Blanco called and the player from the small blind folded.

Blanco checked again when the {3-Clubs} hit the turn. His opponent bet 562 and Blanco raised the action to 2,436. His opponent called and the {5-Hearts} appeared on the river. Blanco bet his remaining 12,364 stack which covered his opponent who called. Blanco turned over {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for trip threes, however, his opponent had him beat when he turned over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a full house.

Blanco had a few chips left after the hand, but quickly relinquished them before rebuying back into the event.

The action folded around to Natalie "888NatalieH" in the small blind who raised to 150 and got a call from "enacherbrt" from the big blind.

Both players checked on a {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop before Hof check-called a bet of 150 from her opponent after the {7-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Hof then fired out for 450 when the {A-Hearts} completed the board on the river and her opponent called. The chips went to Hof's opponent after Hof showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} which was no match for the {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} held by her opponent who hit top-pair on the river.
