Osti and Rosner Bubble Day 1a of FPS High Roller

Richard Hayes

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mercedes Osti and Floyd Rosner are the unfortunate souls on the wrong side of the money bubble in Day 1a of the FPS High Roller.

Osti was all-in and at risk versus Benjamin Chalot.

Merecedes Osti: A♣K♠
Benjamin Chalot: K♦Q♣

Osti was ahead but the runout came Q♥3♦5♥7♥9♦ and Chalot scooped the pot with a pair of queens.

Floyd Rosner was all-in and at risk versus Lars Kamphues.

Floyd Rosner: K♥K♣
Lars Kamphues: A♥K♠

Rosner looked in good shape for the double-up, but had a sweat after the Q♥10♦7♦ flop gave his opponent a straight draw.

Sure enough the J♥ rolled off on the turn to give Kamphues the nut straight and leave Rosner drawing to a chop.

However the 4♣ river was a brick and sealed Rosner's exit, meaning 187 players progress from Day 1a to Day 2.

PokerStars Ambassador Ramon Colillas opened under the gun to 12,000 and Sabare Atmani produced a three-bet to 36,000.

Action folded back to Colillas who promptly moved all in for around 130,000 total. Atmani called to put Colillas at risk.

Ramon Colillas: A♥K♠
Sabare Atmani:A♣A♠

Colillas had been unlucky to run ace-king into aces close to the bubble, and the 5♠10♠10♦4♦7♣ runout confirmed his exit.

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yang Zhang raised to 10,500 in early position before Domenico Paparo moved all in for 37,000 in the cutoff. Matthias Lipp then reshoved for 50,000 in the big blind. "I was ready to snap-call," Zhang said as he tanked for a moment before calling, having both players covered.

Domenico Paparo: Q♦J♥
Matthias Lipp: Q♣Q♥
Yang Zhang: A♠Q♠

"I guess no queen is coming," a tablemate said as the flop came 8♥J♠8♠. The 10♥ turn left Lipp a card away from a near-triple up, but Zhang caught the K♦ to make a straight and send both opponents to the exit.

David Salituro

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Candido Cappiello bet 12,000 from early position on a flop of A♥4♥7♦ and Federico Quevedo called in the big blind.

The turn was the J♥ and Cappiello bet another 20,000. Quevedo again called and the 5♠ fell on the river. Cappiello then moved all in.

"I'm going to take about 45 seconds," Quevedo told the table as he began muttering to himself. He eventually called for his last 30,000 and Cappiello turned over A♠K♠ for top pair.

"That's going to win," Quevedo said as he exposed 7♠6♦ before leaving the table.
