Vieira Raises the Flop on Drinan

Level 36 : 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

Connor "blanconegro" Drinan limped in to complete his small blind and saw Joao "Naza114" Vieira check his option in the big blind, taking action heads up to a flop of {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Drinan bet 300,000 and Vieira pumped it up to 770,000. Drinan thought for about 15 seconds and then let his hand go, earning Vieira the pot to take him over 10 million as Drinan has fallen below that same mark.

Kyllonen Makes the Nuts

Level 36 : 150,000/300,000, 0 ante
"Jeans89"

There was a three-way limped pot that saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Joao "Naza114" Vieira in the small blind. Jens "Jeans89" Kyllonen bet 600,000 in the big blind and saw Connor "blanconegro" Drinan call to put action back onto Vieira, who folded.

Both players checked the turn {j-Spades} and the river fell {a-Diamonds}. Kyllonen checked once more to put action onto Drinan, who checked behind.

Kyllonen showed {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a turned full house that further improved to aces full jacks on the river. Drinan did not bite upon being checked to, checking back and mucking once Kyllonen showed the nuts.

Kyllonen Wins a Small One

Level 35 : 125,000/250,000, 0 ante

Connor "blanconegro" Drinan limped in on the button to put action onto Joao "Naza114" Vieira in the small blind, who completed. Jens "Jeans89" Kyllonen then raised his option, potting it for a cool 1 million, and only Drinan called.

Action went heads up to a flop of {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Kyllonen made a continuation-bet of 1.25 million. Drinan had seen all he wished to pay for, and let his hand go to result in Kyllonen taking down the last pot of Level 35.

The turn came {9-Hearts} and Vieira bet 921,000. Kyllonen called and then action checked through the river {7-Spades} to take the hand to showdown.

Vieira showed {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a seven-high straight which was good for the pot as Kyllonen mucked, unable to beat it, and Vieira now finds himself over 12 million once again with only a few minutes remaining in the level.
