The Varied Fortunes of Team Online

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

As we wait for the leaders to further separate themselves from the field before the end of the day, I've been looking at the little mini-stories in the room. The four members of PokerStars Team Online are one of those mini-stories; each one has had mixed fortunes throughout the day.

Fredy Torres was looing strong all day but clearly ran into some post-dinner trouble. He moved his last 6,500 in a few minutes ago under the gun with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and was taken on by a player with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Torres was shaking hands by the turn of a {6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} board and out the door a few moments later.

Jorge Arias has been trying to grind it out, but has never seemed to move much above 30,000 in chips. As we come closer to the end of Level 8, he's short-stacked with 18,000.

Karlo Lopez and Jorge Limon are both above par, at 68,000 and 53,000 respectively. Each has had a comfortable stack throughout the day and look to be ready to cruise through the last two levels of the night.
