Fatal Blind Versus Blind Situation For Suarez
Nível 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
All the players folded to Ka Kwan Lau in the small blind, who decided to limp. In the big blind, Anton Suarez didn't want Lau to see the flop so easily, so he raised to 17,000. But it seemed like Lau had a hand, as he re-raised to 55,000. Suarez counted his stack, then moved all in for 230,000 chips. Lau snap-called.
Anton Suarez: 7♥7♠
Ka Kwan Lau: 9♣9♠
Both players in the blinds had a pair, but Lau was in the lead. And he maintained his lead on 10♥A♠Q♦10♦4♣.
As he had a bigger stack than Suarez, his opponent was eliminated.

Lopes Empties The Clip
Nível 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kader Slila opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 42,000 by Pedro Lopes in the small blind. It was folded back to Slila, who called.
Slila then called a 28,000 bet from Lopes on the Q♦6♥6♠ flop and an 85,000 bet from Lopes on the 3♠ turn.
The J♠ completed the board and Lopes announced he was all in, which was enough to put Slila all in for his last 230,000. Slila thought a while before letting his hand go and Lopes collected the pot without showing.

Rocha Spikes a Jack
Nível 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nicholas Palma opened to 10,000 in middle position and Mark Vronskii called in the cutoff before Lucas Silva Rocha three-bet jammed for around 40,000 in the big blind. Palma folded and Vronskii called with a bigger stack.
Lucas Silva Rocha: A♥J♣
Mark Vronskii: A♠K♦
"Oh, not like this!" Palma cried.
The flop of 8♦7♣7♦ didn't change much but Rocha pushed his jack toward the board right before the dealer put down the J♠ to give him the lead.
John Juanda tried to help Vronskii by pushing his king toward the board but it didn't help as the 4♥ river confirmed a double for Rocha.
"Ouch," Juanda said quietly.

No Split To Save Calderone
Nível 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ramin Hajiyev in the hijack opened to 11,000, then saw Eros Calderone moving all in for 110,000 chips from the small blind. Hajiyev didn't wait and made the call.
Eros Calderone: A♦10♣
Ramin Hajiyev: A♣Q♣
On the edge of elimination, Calderone stood up and was ready to leave after the flop 9♥3♦3♥. However, he sat back down when the 9♠ came on the turn, knowing he could chop the pot with two pairs on the board and his ace.
But the terrible A♠ landed on the river, giving two pairs with a better kicker to Hajiyev. Calderone stood up again and left the tournament area in 276th place for €10,200.
