Grafton Chips Up

MattHansen

Nível 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was three ways with what looked like around 100,000 in the pot and a full board of 4♥10♣A♠6♠5♣.

Play had checked to Eros Calderone, who fired 40,000 from middle position. Sam Grafton called from the big blind and Quan Zhou went into the tank from the next seat over. After a few minutes of thought, Zhou tossed in the chips to call.

Calderone turned over 10♥7♥ for a flopped pair of tens, but Grafton showed 6♦5♦ for two pair. Zhou shook his head and mucked the losing hand and Grafton dragged the pot.

Meanwhile, Tom Vogelsang and Boris Kolev have joined the tournament while Renat Bohdanov and Maher Nouira have hit the rail.

Orpaz Proving Unstoppable

Nível 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Orpaz increased his chip lead to more than 900,000 by recently busting two players.

According to Orpaz, Renat Bohdanov raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Orpaz called in the small blind with A♦4♦. The flop came 5x3x2x with two hears, giving Orpaz the straight, and he raised to 18,000 after Bohdanov bet 6,000.

Bohdanov raised to 43,000, Orpaz moved all in, and Bohdanov called for around 100,000 with two fives for a flopped set. The board ran out Q♦7♥ and Orpaz sent him to the rail.

Orpaz busted Nicolas Chouity at this table a few hands earlier with two kings.

"I was reading the updates yesterday and wondered why you kept getting mentioned," tablemate Daniel Rezaei joked with him afterward.

MattHansen

Nível 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Just before blinds went up, Eros Calderone raised to 6,000 from late position before Mathias Duarte called from the next seat over. Mladen Nincevic came along from the small blind and Sam Grafton called from the big blind.

The flop was 2♠J♠5♥ and action checked to Duarte for a bet of 12,000. Nincevic thought for a moment and raised to 30,000, which sent Grafton and Calderone out of the pot. Duarte called and the turn was 4♦.

Nincevic quickly shoved the turn for around 63,000 and Duarte gave it a moment of thought before he called with more. Duarte showed the A♣J♣ for a pair of jacks, which was good enough to beat Nincevic's Q♥J♥ and send him to the rail.

Mathias Duarte	263,000 153,500	153,500
