Nível 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jeremy Eyer opened to 200,00 from under-the-gun and was called by James Vecchio in middle position. Everyone else folded for a heads-up pot.

Eyer checked to Vecchio on the 6♣6♠7♦ flop and he bet 235,000. Eyer then check-raised to 600,000 and Vecchio called.

Both players checked on the 7♣ turn; however, Eyer shoved, having Vecchio covered, when the A♣ completed the board.

Vecchio went into the tank, agonizing over his decision for some time before placing calling chips into the middle.

Eyer tabled A♦A♥ for aces-full and Vecchio could only show 10♦10♣ for two pair and was eliminated in ninth place.

Shiva Dudani: K♥2♣
Jeremy Eyer: Q♣9♠

Dudani had the better hand preflop but was drawing to three outs after Eyer paired up on the 9♣5♥3♣ flop. There was no help for the at-risk player on the 10♠ turn and J♥ river, and Dudani exited in eighth-place.

Nível 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Nozomu Shimizu opened to 250,000 from early position and Felipe Ramos defended his big blind to see the 8♥4♥2♥ flop. Ramos check-called for 125,000 which brought in the 6♠ turn. Ramos then led out for 350,000 and Shimizu called within two seconds.

On the 10♣ river, Ramos checked and Shimizu quickly fired out 950,000. Ramos went deep into the tank and rechecked his cards. It looked like he was about to fold to Ramos flicked in the one chip call and Shimizu began laughing.

Shimizu tabled his K♥Q♦ for a king-high bluff while Ramos called with the K♦8♦ which was good for just a pair of eights.

The Brazilian immediately left his feet in celebration for hero-calling correctly and the table complimented Ramos for his gutsy play.

Ivan Galinec opened to 240,000 from middle position and directly behind him, Felipe Ramos three-bet to 705,000. Action folded back around to Galinec and he pondered a bit before announcing he was all in for 4,300,000.

Ramos went into the tank and after a couple minutes, he put a small stack of chips into the middle to announce a call.

Ivan Galinec: 4♠4♦
Felipe Ramos: J♠J♣

Ramos screamed, "Yes!" when he saw that he was well ahead with his jacks.

The board ran out 2♣3♦7♥9♥3♥ — keeping Ramos out in front with his overpair and eliminating Galinec in seventh place.

Ronald Minnis: A♦2♦
