Ramiro Petrone opened with a raise to 5,000 from early position. He found resistance from Hugo Marcelo in the hijack seat. Action folded to Jesse Rosen in the big blind and he reraised, making it 16,000 to play. Petrone called as did Marcelo bringing them three ways to the flop.
On the flop, action checked to Marcelo who put out a bet of 35,000. Rosen quickly got out of the way. Petrone dropped into the tank, then finally decided to move all in after a couple minutes of thought. The shove was for 122,500 total, or 87,500 more for Marcelo to call. Marcelo asked for a count, then eventually announced a call, creating a massive pot worth more than 300,000 chips.
Marcelo:
Petrone:
Petrone was in the lead with his flopped two pair, but Marcelo could catch any diamond to win outright. The turn was the giving Marcelo numerous extra outs to with a three, jack, or ace. The river was the and that gave Marcelo a better two pair to earn him the massive pot and the clear chip lead in the tournament while Petrone hit the rail busting just a bit short of the money.
With about 14,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading , Mark Scacewater was in the big blind and heads-up against a player in early position. Scacewater checked, his opponent bet 3,600, and Scacewater called.
The turn brought the and both players checked.
The fell on the river and Scacewater checked. His opponent bet 8,800, and after brief consideration, Scacewater called. His opponent flipped over for a rivered pair of jacks and Scacewater mucked.
The player under the gun opened with a raise to 7,000, Fabio Colonese called from middle position, and the hijack called, as well.
The flop came and the preflop raiser checked. Colonese bet 10,000 and the hijack moved all-in for 67,400. The preflop raiser folded and Colonese called to put his opponent at risk.
Colonese:
Hijack:
Colonese had the nut-flush draw but found himself behind his opponent's flopped queen-high flush. The turn and river were no help to Colonese and his opponent doubled up.
We caught the action on the river with the board showing . Action was on Gustavo Prato and with just over 18,000 in the pot, Gustavo moved all in for over 200,000. His opponent was Edinson Martinez who was put to the test for his last 75,000 chips. He dropped deep into the tank to think over the hand.
He took nearly five minutes to decide, but eventually, he did call. Prado paused and didn't move after the call, then finally tapped the table and revealed his for just king-high with the pair of twos on the board. Martinez showed for a rivered flush and that was good to earn him the big double up and the pot. Meanwhile, Prato's bluff cost him nearly half his stack.
With a massive pot of about 80,000 already brewing on a completed board of , Francisco Araujo checked from the small blind and Renan Toniolo shoved for 41,500 from the big blind. The player in the hijack tanked for about a minute before he folded, and once action was back on Araujo, he went into the tank for nearly five minutes. Eventually, he called to put Toniolo at risk. Toniolo flipped over for rivered top pair, top kicker and Araujo tossed his cards into the muck.
From the cutoff, Renan Toniolo opened with a raise to 5,100. Hugo Marcelo called him from the button and Roberly Felicio also came along from the big blind.
The flop came down and Felicio checked. Toniolo put out a bet of 6,000 which both players called.
On the turn, Felicio checked again. This time Toniolo bet 19,000, but only Marcelo called.
The river was the and Toniolo fired a third bullet. This time he made it 44,000. Marcelo thought for about 30 seconds then decided to call. Toniolo turned up for a turned full house and it was good as Marcelo mucked his hand and sent over the chips.
