Priority Boarding

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

At the end of the level, which is about a half hour from now, the players will take a 75-minute dinner break. The venue is hosting a buffet for the players, but given the size of the field, a system has been developed to accommodate everyone.

This is how it will work. The players currently seated at Tables 1-16 will be allowed to go to the buffet right away. A half hour later, the remaining players will be allowed up. It's kind of like "A" lunch and "B" lunch in American middle schools.

Here's hoping you friends are in the same lunch group as you!

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michael Tureniec is well known for his stare and the sun glasses on. I haven't seen him any other way since covering tournaments and he is obviously here in the very same style as well. Slowly accumulating chips and you never really know how. His latest attempt got denied though.

On the flop we see a 2,800 pot and Valentino Yasenov Konakchiev bet 1,650. Tureniec raised to 4,600 and the big blind in between got out of the way. The turn got checked through and on the river the Swede quickly folded when his opponent bet 8,000.

Riccardo Mazzitelli, who won his seat for the Main Event in one of the satellites, clicked it back to 5,400 and the initial raiser moved all in for 16,475. The three-bettor folded but Mazzitelli snap called with the to see the for his opponent.

On the flop the tides changed, but the Italian still had a flush draw. Neither the turn nor the river would change the outcome though and Bebawi doubled through.
