Wei Falls to Ferreira

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sebastian Ferreira opened to 30,000 from middle position and Guoliang Wei moed all in for 115,000 from the small blind. Ferreira called with a covering stack to put Wei at risk.

Guoliang Wei: A♣7♣
Sebastian Ferreira: 7♥7♦

Wei was a favorite preflop but the A♥6♣2♦ flop left him drawing only to the case seven to preserve his tournament life. He found no help on the 8♦ turn or 10♣ river and was sent to the rail a few spots shy of the money while Ferreira took down a decent pot.

Sabau Moves In

Niveau 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Razvan Sabau opened the cutoff to 25,000 before the action folded to Oleg Netaliev in the small blind who put in a cold three-bet to 100,000. The action was then on Fabian Quoss in the big blind who put in another raise with a cold four-bet to 225,000.

The action was then back on Sabau who sat in the tank for a moment before five-bet jamming having both players covered.

Netaliev got out of the way and Quoss went into the tank for close to three-minutes before he finally mucked.

Sabau scooped without ever having to go to showdown.
