Ramella Slow Plays Aces to Bust Yin

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Jorge Ramella
Jorge Ramella

Jorge Ramella opened to 800 from middle position and Shibo Yin three-bet to 2,500 from the hijack. Ramella called.

Ramella checked the Q49 flop and Yin bet 2,000. Ramella chose to check-raise to 5,300 which Yin called.

Upon seeing the Q appear on the turn, Ramella shoved for Yin's remaining 10,700. Yin went deep into the tank, thinking for almost two minutes. Ultimately, he flicked in the call and the cards were revealed.

Shibo Yin: KK All in
Jorge Ramella: AA

Ramella was ahead with his pocket aces and had to avoid a two-outer on the river. The 5 fell and Yin was sent to the rail at the hands of Ramella.

Panetti Sent Packing

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Christophe Panetti
Christophe Panetti

Pieter de Necker had opened and Diego Belmonte three-bet to 2,500 before Christophe Panetti shoved for his last 6,000. De Necker folded, but Belmonte called.

Christophe Panetti: KQ All in
Diego Belmonte: AK

Panetti never improved on the 46845 runout which meant he was eliminated, with the rest of his stack headed in Belmonte's direction.

On the same table, Quan Zhou has lost half of his starting stack and has 15,000 chips — still good for fifty big blinds.

Borlan Runs Into Kings

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Dan Borlan
Dan Borlan

Dan Serban Borlan raised to 700 from early position, Andras Jakabfi three-bet to 2,700 from the small blind and Borlan called.

The flop came 842 and Jakabfi bet 3,700, which Borlan called. The turn was the 4 and Jakabfi moved all in with his opponent covered.

Borlan called for around 10,500 and showed 108 for a pair of eights. Jakabfi had KK for a pair of kings. The river came the 7 and Jakabfi held to win the pot, sending Borlan to the rail.

It's Not D'Annolfo's Day

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Fabio D'Annolfo shoved his short stack of around 3,000 into the pot from the hijack and was called by Stephen Song in the cutoff & Slobodan Ruzicic on the button.

Both checked the 946 flop to see the 6 turn. Song led out for 4,000, and Ruzicic folded.

Fabio D'Annolfo: 44 All in
Stephen Song: A9

D'Annolfo was the firm favorite to get some chips back but a 6 on the river improved Song to a bigger full house, much to the dismay of D'Annolfo.

"It's not his day," could be heard from the table after D'Annolfo had already left the tournament area.
