Lococo Takes a Small One; Foxens at Different Tables Now

Livello 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo raised to 10,000 on the button and Damian Salas made the call in the big blind.

Heads up, they saw a flop of 6♥A♦5♦ and when checked to, Lococo placed a bet of 9,000 and Salas quickly released his hand.

In other news, after Alex Foxen drew the same table as his wife, Kristen Foxen, the couple likely only sat together but one orbit before Kristen was moved to a new table, as late entrants continue to arrive.

Colossus Winner Hops in High Roller; Bryn Kenney Joins The Field

Livello 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Recent $400 Colossus Winner, Moshe Refaelowitz, raised to 8,000 under the gun and was only called by last years Main Event winner, Espen Jørstad, in the big blind.

The dealer fanned out the 8♠6♦3♣ and both players checked, turning the 2♥.

Jørstad checked again and Refaelowitz threw out a bet of 19,000 when the dealer informed him his time was almost up. Jørstad made the call.

The river peeled the 9♠ and both players checked, with Jørstad announcing he had a pair of eights, as he turned over 10♦8♦, prompting Refaelowitz to throw his hand in the muck.

Bryn Kenney was getting seated at this table just as this hand came to a conclusion.

Barbero Five-Bet All In

Livello 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was caught after Nacho Barbero three-bet from the button, putting a single green chip worth 25,000 in front of him. After that, Jules Dickerson in the cutoff decided to four-bet to 60,000.

Barbero went into the tank for a minute, using a time bank chip to have an extra 30 seconds. And at the end of the time, he moved all in for approximately 250,000 chips.

Dickerson looked at his cards but quickly folded. Barbero showed him the 9♦ and mucked his second card.

More Arrivals; The Foxens Draw Same Table

Livello 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

When Alex Foxen went to sit at Table 113, Ren Lin who was seated on his left said, "Nice! Perfect table draw...".

Kristen Foxen, his wife and fellow crusher, is currently seated two seats to his right. This isn't the first time that it's happened this year and typically it seems they make a point not to converse much when competing against each other.

The current table seating will likely be very much in flux until late registration is over as they're opening tables upon the arrival of new entrants.

Aguero Makes Garagnani Fold

Livello 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was caught on a 8♠5♣6♠, when Pedro Garagnani bet 11,500 in the blinds. In the hijack, Sergio Aguero called.

The 4♣ came on the turn, and Garagnani fired out a second barrel of 14,000. Kun Aguero quickly threw a chip worth 25,000 in front of him, saying "raise". It wasn't enough to make a proper raise, so he added a few chips to make it 28,000.

In front of him, Garagnani checked at his cards, and folded.
