Hernandez Puts Pressure on Barakeh

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

The turn was out with {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} on the board and Fadi Barakeh had checked to Lazaro Hernandez, who bet 775,000. Barakeh went into the tank until Hernandez called the clock and Barakeh made the call.

On the {j-Hearts} river, Hernandez barreled all in when checked to and this time Barakeh found the fold a little easier. Hernandez is over 6 million now for the first time.

Villena Eliminated by Young

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

William young opened the action preflop and was called by Paulo Villena in the blinds.

On the {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop, Villena checked to Young who continued for 400,000. Villena moved all in and Young immediately threw in a chip to signify a call.

William Young: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Paulo Villena: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

It was an overpair for Young vs an overcard and a flush draw for Villena at this point. The turn was the {5-Spades}, giving Villena six more outs with the double gutshot straight draw. There was a lot to dodge but Young managed to brick on the {3-Spades} river, sending his opponent to the rail.

"Let's Have a Snus on That"

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Everybody had their phones out to take a picture of a three-way showdown that saw Eduardo Arias on the button, Kennie Eriksson in the small blind and Matthew Boddorf clash. Boddorf had raised to 350,000 and called both jams to create the following showdown:

Eduardo Arias: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Matthew Boddorf: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Kennie Eriksson: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The board came {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and that sent Arias to the rail.

"Let's have a Snus on that," Swede Eriksson said after the hand was over and pulled out a can of Snus.
