Azor Busts Quevedo

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

On the {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, Vlado Sevo bet 2,000 and Ran Azor made it 10,000 to go, which Francisco Quevedo and Sevo called. The {A-Clubs} appeared on the turn and Azor moved all in and Quevedo called it off while Sevo folded.

Francisco Quevedo: {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Ran Azor: {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}

"Of course I know what he has, but I have too many outs," Quevedo said. The {2-Clubs} river was a blank and the player from Costa Rica was eliminated.

Stenholm Doubles Through Vega Meister

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Mikko Hirvonen busted and sent his stack over to Dario Alioto while [Removed:153] doubled through Alfredo Vega Meister. Until the rover of the board {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}, the pot had already grown to 32,000 and Stenholm was all in for 13,950. Vega Meister reluctantly called and was shown {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a king-high straight by Stenholm. Vega Meister mucked {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and dropped to fewer than half the starting stack.

Small Pot for Saliba

Another One Bites the Dust

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Igor Sharaskin raised and picked up three callers including Aaron Duczak. On the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, it was Sharaskin that continued for 1,800 and just Aaron Duczak in the small blind called. After the {3-Clubs} turn, Duczak checked and Sharaskin bet 4,600 before the Canadian check-raised to 16,000.

Sharaskin called and the {7-Clubs} river completed a back door flush. Duczak gave it some time and moved all in, and Sharaskin called to see his opponent turn over {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades} for the nut flush. Sharaskin mucked his cards and claimed he had top two pair with the inferior flush.

Boatman Wins a Big One

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

On the five-way flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Samuel Albeck bet 600 and was called by Barny Boatman and Eric Lescot while Christian Rauch folded. The {2-Spades} appeared on the turn and Lescot in the big blind checked, Albeck bet 2,000 and Boatman was the only caller.

The {K-Clubs} fell on the river and Albeck checked before Boatman announced a pot-sized bet of 7,800. Some table talk between the two of them emerged and Boatman said "When I said pot, I didn't realize it was that much," and Albeck called soon after. Boatman rolled over {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for top set, the effective nuts, and Albeck could all but laugh and say "nice hit, very nice bet."

The Field is Growing Further

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

There are already 70 entries in the field in level two and that number is trending in one direction only. Several Scandinavians took to the felt already, among them Mikko Hirvonen and Thomas Pettersson, and Fredrik Andersen has had the best start of them thus far.

As for Hirvonen, he was just involved in a three-way pot and his raise to 1,000 was called by Dario Alioto and the player in the big bliond. On the {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, the big blind bet 3,000 and Hirvonen raised the pot to 13,100 in order to force a fold from all opponents.

Palevic and Saliba Enter; Jacobs Re-Enters

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Rifat Palevic won his very first bracelet this summer in Las Vegas after taking down Event #39: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo BOUNTY and he entered recently along with John Racener and Vivian Saliba. Bianca Jacobs re-entered and a new table opened, which also required the next big blind to move. Of course no other than her nemesis Georgios Koliofotis was moved over, and this should ensure some fireworks in the next few hours.
