Chris Da-Silva raised to 1,600 from early position and received two callers before Ferdinand Perada, in the small blind, three-bet to 6,600.

Da-Silva and a player in middle position called, while the button folded. "How do you fold there?" Da-Silva asked as they went three-handed to a 5♥7♠5♠ flop.

Perada continued for 6,300 and only Da-Silva called. The turn came the 4♥ and Perada bet another 11,000.

Da-Silva quickly called once more to see the 7♦ river where Perada fired out 14,000 this time. Da-Silva instantly tossed in a chip to signify a call and Perada showed 9♣9♦. Da-Silva, though, had 4♥4♣ for the turned full house to get an early boost to his stack.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In a pot with close to 7,000 in the middle on a flop showing 10♦7♥2♣, a player in the big blind checked to the under-the-gun player who tossed out a bet of 2,900. Thierry Quintin raised to 8,500 on the button and the big blind put in a check-raise to 14,400, which only Quintin came along.

The 10♥ hit the turn and both players checked their options to the 8♦ river. The big blind tossed out a small bet of 6,500 and Quintin grabbed raising chips, bumping it up to 33,000. His opponent snap-called and the cards were shown.

Quintin rolled over 7♠7♦ for sevens-full and his opponent flashed A♠10♠ before tossing it in the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened to 1,600 from under the gun and Steve Wakeman defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the K♠8♦6♠ flop leading to the Q♠ on the turn. Wakeman bet 2,000 and Lococo made the call.

Wakeman fired again on the A♦ river, this time for 4,000. Lococo raised to 16,000 and Wakeman quickly made the call.

Lococo tabled K♦K♣ for top set on the flop but Wakeman revealed J♠2♠ for a jack-high flush to take the pot down, leaving Lococo short-stacked with about 12,000 chips left.

Lococo was eliminated a few hands later. According to the players at his table, he got his last chips in with 10x8x suited on a ten-high flop against pocket queens and failed to improve.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jeffrey Farnes raised to 2,000 from the hijack before Frederico Dornelas three-bet on the button to 6,000. Action folded back around to Farnes, who called to go heads-up to the flop.

The dealer turned over 7♥8♣4♥ and Farnes checked over to Dornelas, who bet enough to put him all in. Farnes quickly called for his last 12,000.

Jeffrey Farnes: 9♦9♥
Frederico Dornelas: J♣J♠

Farnes found himself dominated and at risk, finding no help on the 8♦ turn or 10♠ river as last year's sixth-place finisher was sent to the rail early on Day 2d.
