Carlos Branco

Paul Michaelis opened to 400,000 first to act and Carlos Branco jammed for 3,575,000 on the button. Artem Kobylynskyi set him at risk from the big blind and Michaelis released.

Carlos Branco: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Artem Kobylynskyi: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Branco encouraged his rail to get loud and they did find some help on the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} with a gutshot. The {9-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river just danced around him, though.

"It was a pleasure," Branco said.

"Aces, huh?" Michaelis said with a smile after Branco exited. "Easy game."

Branco Tanks into Break

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alexandr Merzhvinskii called on the button and the blinds came along for the minimum. The flop came {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Merzhvinskii bet 200,000 when checked to. Only small blind Carlos Branco continued. On the {6-Diamonds} turn, action checked through to the {q-Clubs}. Branco bet 730,000 and Merzhvinskii announced 3 million, nearly all of his chips, at the buzzer.

Branco tanked long enough into the break to use three time breaks before releasing.
