Spin Up Continues for Neves

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Pedro Henrique Gois Neves
Pedro Henrique Gois Neves

Danny Pyke opened to 2,000 before Pedro Gois Never jammed for 10,200. Pyke made the call.

Pedro Gois Neves: {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Danny Pyke: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Neves, who had just 400 chips at one stage earlier, was in decent shape to get another double up however he had one foot out of the door after Pyke paired up on the {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop. The {8-Spades} turn gave Neves a glimmer of hope. The miracle {8-Clubs} river gave Neves trips and the checkmark for another double up.

Lynskey Takes From Vieira

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Fabian Gumz opened to 1,800 from middle position and was called by Joao Vieira on the button. Francisco Benitez in the small blind and Alexander Lynskey in the big blind also came along to the {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, where the action checked around to Vieira.

A bet of 2,700 followed, with Lynskey the only caller to see the {q-Diamonds} turn. Vieira bet 13,400 and Lynskey check-called again, before both players checked the {3-Hearts} river.

Lynskey tabled {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and took down the pot as Vieira mucked his hand.

Set Over Set Benefits Vieira

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Joao Filipe Vieira
Joao Filipe Vieira

Joao Vieira opened to 1,700 from under the gun and was called by Francisco Benitez and Dimitrios Angelakos from early position and the cutoff respectively.

The {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop checked through to the {q-Hearts} turn.

Vieira checked, which prompted Benitez to bet 4,500. Angelakos called and Vieira went into the tank. He then raised to 17,500 and Benitez quickly got out the way. Angelakos then moved all in for 82,000 and Vieira snap-called as the slightly bigger stack.

Dimitrios Angelakos: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Joao Vieira: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Both players flopped a set but Vieira had the superior three-of-a-kind. The {q-Spades} confirmed Angelakos' exit and Vieira took in the massive pot.

Kamphues Scores Knockout

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rafael Navas Robles opened to 1,600 from early position and was called by Timo Kamphues to his left. Laszlo Molnar three-bet from the big blind to 14,000, and Robles quickly mucked.

Kamphues used a time bank before moving all in, committing more than enough chips to cover Molnar who made the call.

Laszlo Molnar: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Timo Kamphues: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Kamphues was well out in front to start the hand, and the {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop left Molnar on fumes. The {4-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river completed the board, and Molnar's chips headed in the direction of Kamphues.

Derwiche Cracks Aces

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Imad Derwiche
Imad Derwiche

Action was caught on the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop with 13,500 in the middle. Vicent Bosca Ramon bet 8,500 from the big blind and Imad Derwiche called from the hijack.

Ramon and Derwiche were engaging in some playful table talk, which resulted in Ramon moving all in for 28,300 on the {j-Spades} turn. Derwiche seemed uncomfortable about the spot but ultimately called as the covering stack.

Imad Derwiche: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Vicent Bosca Ramon: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

The aces were ahead but the {q-Spades} river gave Derwiche the king-high straight, Derwiche was apologetic about the bad beat but Ramon was very gracious and congratulated his opponent as he left the table.

Talbot Calls Vogelsang's Bluff

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Parker Talbot raised on the button and called when Christoph Vogelsang three-bet from the small blind.

The action checked through the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop and the {4-Diamonds} turn, before Vogelsang led out for 4,500 on the {2-Spades} river.

Talbot immediately tossed in the call, and Vogelsang slid his cards face down to the dealer. Talbot slid his cards forward, winning the showdown without showing his holding. "That bad, eh?" he asked Vogelsang, who smirked as Talbot stacked his chips.
