Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Diogo came into Day 2d with only ten big blinds and, after less than half a level, just four remained. His last 3,200 went in the middle after an early position raise from Jeffrey Borris and a call from Renan Meneguetti from middle position.

The two players with actions checked through to the river on 8♦J♥5xK♦Q♦. Meneguetti bet 3,000 on the river after a third check from Borris, but the latter quickly folded.

Meneguetti showed A♠10♥ for Broadway and Coelho's 3♠3♣ had no shot at beating that.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The player in early position raised to 1,800 and the players on the cutoff, button and big blind all came along. The flop came out 4♦4♥K♥ and the big blind checked. The early position player made the continuation bet of 2,200 and everyone folded except Daniel Vargas on the button.

The turn brought the 9♠ and early position bet 5,000. Despite being in the hand, Vargas carried on his casual conversation at the table and called.

Both players checked through the river 5♥ and Vargas flipped over A♦K♠ and the early position player flipped over one card, the K♣, and Vargas scooped the pot with his pair of kings with the ace kicker.
