Victor Figueroa

The pace of play slowed a bit once the blinds increased again but there are still some big hands, especially when you run into coolers like happened to Abbey Daniels.

The former WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown final table member moved all-in from early position and Marcus Stein asked for a count from the button. He called the shove after hearing it was 155,000 and the blind released.

Stein: QhQd
Daniels: JsJd

It was tough running into a bigger pair and the 8c8s6sAhKc board could not save her tournament.

On the flip side, 2012 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open” Championship winner Victor Figueroa is moving higher. A quick look at his stack shows the SHRP regular over 1.1 million and when asked if he sent someone to the rail he responded, “he did it to himself.”
