Level 17: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante | Payouts
Players Remaining:  81 of 430

Luiz Guimaraes

The Monster Stack returned from the dinner break and players went right to work. They are down to the last nine tables after one level and the bad beats aren’t hurting the pace.

We saw aces getting cracked at the same table within three hands of each other to put an exclamation point on it.

The first saw Luiz Guimaraes open and call a three-bet shove for 30,000 with KdQh. His opponent had AsAc before Guimaraes flopped top pair/open-ended straight draw on the QdJsTh board that got there on the Ah turn. He had to dodge some boat outs but finished off the beat on the 4d river to go up to 180,000.

Two hands later, SHRP team member Sheddy Siddiqui opened the action to 6,000 and picked up two callers. Another player moved all in for ~50,000 and Siddiqui shoved for ~86,000. The other two players released and it was Siddiqui with the rockets.

Siddiqui: AdAc
Opponent: AhTc

The Qs4h2s flop was harmless and one of Siddiqui’s tablemates, not in the hand, asked for a sweat card. It came on the Ts turn and the second cracking was complete on the trip ten Td river.
