Since we last checked in with Sergio Correia he has amassed a stack of 224,000. How many players has he knocked out? "A couple. I don't remember," he replied.
"We're all going to need to learn the Portuguese national anthem for his bracelet ceremony," remarked the woman seated next to him.
"What we should do is report him to security," said another player at the end of the table. "He's being a bully and taking all our chips."
Players have stepped out for another break. Play will resume in 15 minutes.
Jon Turner raised preflop from the button. The big blind reraised and received a call from the hijack and Turner.
The flop came 5♥4♣8♠ and all three players got their chips in the middle.
Jon Turner: A♥K♣6♦4♥2♣
Hijack: A♦9♥5♦3♦2♥
Big Blind: A♠A♣9♦3♠2♠
The turn was the 6♥ and the river the Q♠
The high was chopped two ways and low was chopped three — plus betting on the side. It was a hand that exemplified just how hard the dealers are having to work today.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs on the flop in a pot between Connor Drinan out of position and another player in position in a pot worth 25,000.
The flop read J♥10♣2♠.
Opponent: A♠K♦K♣2♥3♠
Connor Drinan: K♥K♣10♣9♥8♦
The turn of 3♥ gave the other player two pair, but left Drinan drawing to a flush draw and straight draw get either half or the whole pot.
The river peeled off the A♥ and Drinan made a flush to take down the pot and add to his growing chip stack.
At another table, Ren Lin was eliminated from the tournament.
Sergey Zaporozhets got George Linkenback all in on a flop of Q♠5♠K♦.
George Linkenback: A♣A♥8♠6♠3♥
Sergey Zaporozhets: J♦9♥4♠3♦3♠
Linkenback had Zaporozhets dominated with his aces and spade redraw, to Zaporozhets' gutshot straight draw but a J♥ on the turn gave him some additional outs. Linkenback shut the door though when the river paired the king.
Nível: 6
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
Action was picked up on the river between Bob Mather on the button, Barny Boatman in the cutoff and another player in late position.
On a board reading 5♠8♣Q♥6♠6♥, action checked around to Bob Mather who bet 2,000 and Boatman called.
Mather turned over 6♠5♥4♠3♥3♠ for sixes full with an eight six low, which was good against Boatman's A♣Q♠9♥7♥7♠ for a straight and an eight seven low, and Mather took down the pot.
Norm Ohren and Robert Aaronoff raised a Q♦10♦K♥ flop until they were both all in.
Norm Ohren: A♥J♥6♥5♦3♦
Robert Aaronoff: A♦J♦10♣5♥2♣
Each had a straight, with no low possible, but Aaronoff had the diamond flush redraw.
A 4♣3♠ turn and river gave them a split pot. "I was freerolling you," said Aaronoff.
"I know, and I didn't like it," replied Ohren.
Sergio Correia bet 2,200 on a 8♣5♦5♠ flop and an early position player called.
Correia bet again on the K♥ turn, enough to get his opponent all in and he called. Corriea rolled over A♦A♥Q♠7♦4♦, for aces and eights for the high and an eight-five low draw.
The other player turned over A♠K♦Q♦7♥2♥ for kings over eights and a better eight low draw. But the 2♦ river counterfeited his low, and let Correia scoop.
