Nacho Cuesta
Nacho Cuesta

Fernando Celdran opened to 5,500 from under the gun and received calls from Fabio Cardoso in early position, Xoan Mourino in middle position, Nacho Cuesta on the button and a player in the big blind.

All five players checked the J?7?3? flop leading to the 4? turn. The big blind checked, Celdran bet 3,500, Cardoso folded, Mourino called, Cuesta called and the big blind folded.

On the 6? river action checked around to Cuesta who bet 8,000. Celdran called and Mourino got out of the way.

Celdran showed down A?Q? for a queen-high flush but Cuesta tabled A?5? for a straight flush to take the pot.

Ochoa Extracts Value

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player from middle position opened to 5,000 and Cristobal Ochoa defended from the big blind.

The flop came K?5?2?. Ochoa checked, the original raiser bet 3,500, Ochoa check-raised to 7,500 and his opponent made the call.

Ochoa bet 12,500 on the Q? turn and was once again called by his opponent.

On the K? river Ochoa bet 20,000, sending his opponent into the tank.

After a couple minutes the middle position player made the call. Ochoa tabled 10?6? for a flush which was good enough to take down a healthy pot.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Marco Herman and Ivan Gonzalez were recently eliminated.

Stewart Falls to Santa Maria

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a preflop confrontation Michael Stewart found himself all in and at risk from middle position against EAPT Barcelona champion Fernando Santa Maria who held a covering stack.

Michael Stewart: A?3?
Fernando Santa Maria: A?Q?

Stewart was dominated by a bigger ace but took the lead on the 6?4?3? flop. Santa Maria reclaimed the lead on the Q? turn but still had to fade Stewart who had picked up the nut-flush draw. The 7? river was a brick and Stewart made his exit from the tournament area while Santa Maria collected the last of his chips.

Mourino Puts Two Opponents to the Test

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With three players seeing a final board of 6?J?3?A?6? and 40,000 already in the middle, Nacho Cuesta bet 10,000 from the big blind and Fabio Cardoso called from the hijack. Xoan Mourino moved all in for roughly 40,000 from the button and Cuesta quickly folded.

Cardoso went into the tank, cutting out calling chips and evaluating what his stack would be like if he called and was wrong. Finally after a few minutes he decided to fold and Mourino took down a nice pot without showdown.
