I met Gerardx right before players were asked to take their seats. He said he had half of the average stack and didnt look pretty good. I said :”Never judge somebody by the appearence of his chips and better to have half the average now and not tomorrow :-) ”

After not even 20 minutes from the start of this level, I found him sitting right next to our LIz, at the same table.

Funny thing is he doubled up through her :-(

Pre flop Liz raised to 3,600 and after seeing his cards, Gerard went all in in less than 30 seconds. Liz had no choice but calling the remaining amount 18,700 with her .

Gerard showed his aiming for a flush or a straight. And he got them both :-) as the board showed everything he needed

With this flush He is up to 40,000, while Liz is 10k shorter than him.

Congrats to Gerard and come on Liz!, Next hand it will be you!

Back from the tables with some bad news :-(

I went straight to Liz’s table and my timing was almost perfect. There was a good hand going on…very nice in fact.

The flop was already on the table and I arrived when it was Liz’s turn to bet. She raised a previous bet and got called by Christopher (alias ctofquestla) and I said Wow! a heads up with one of our qualified Chilipoker players!

It doesn’t happen that often to be able to play with a Pro, face to face, does it?
How many times have you dreamt about being at the same table with a PRO and actually winning it? That is my favorite dream at night and one of our players realized it.

Back to the game, I concentrated on the turn. It was a King. Liz looked good but I could feel her asking herself…what if he has pocket Kings?…Anyway she made a really good bet and was instantly called by him.

Something was going on….and I knew she had a very strong hand….

Then it was her time to bet again….i could sense the All-in coming…and there it was: Divo Vs Diva, this time with their cards visible to everyone. Liz had pocket Aces and Christopher….pocket Kings.

The End. Liz got eliminated with aces against three Kings. Fair enough, there are still Pro-AM, The High Roller and the Main WPT Event. Honestly, you cannot have it all ;-)

Congrats to Christopher! I met his girlfriend on the way back from the tables and she is now here, sitting on my left.

I asked her what she had to say and the reply was “We will all go and have champagne on us  if he wins!!”

Guess who my favorite player is right now? GO CHRISTOPHER!!!
