Event Info
Everyone folded, unsurprisingly, and while the crowd (who seem well into their cups already) celebrating at high volume, he picked up 110,000 in blinds and the like.
Eventually Manole passed -- and Terrazas showed him . The railers went nuts.
It's not all about the poker here in Barcelona. In fact, many of the players have taken time to spend their time off browsing the city and taking in all they can from the experience. For those of you that haven't been to Barcelona and would like to know exactly what there is to see around this marvelous city, Melissa's here to take you on a quick tour. Park Guell, Sagrada Famillia and Casa Batllo are featured.
Goodwin:
Kapalas:
Board:
Georgios Kapalas is the first person knocked out today.
Showdown!
Smith:
Lapossie:
"I need a suckout," declared Lapossie, but it wasn't coming.
Board:
Thus Smith doubles to 1,170,000.
Manole checked, and Lapossie open-folded! No, that's a lie -- he actually continuation-bet 155,000. Manole folded, and Lapossie inexplicably declared, "Ship the sherbet to Herbert," as he raked in the pot.
Just because there aren't any big notables on the rail, doesn't mean things won't get interesting. The fans are really into the action and as the day rolls on, the enthusiasm will surely show. Oh, and they're already drinking.
On the live commentary, Jason Mercier has picked out Carter Phillips to be the favorite of the table. He mentioned, "Carter picks his spots well and just his stack size as well." We'll see if his prediction comes true.
Phillips quickly folded, Ojala thought for about a minute before folding face up.
