WCOAP Days 6 & 7 - #11 World Amateur Team Championships

[Paulie_D]

Final Table in the Team Championships already.

The exits were pretty rapid from the final 2 tables.

[Des]

Chaotic pace of exits in the team event.  With 10 remaining, Italy look a near certainty to take the title, with Ireland a near certainty to take Silver.

Still no exits on the final table, but we have to note the excellent atmosphere that this event has been played in once again.  A credit to all teams.

[Paulie_D]

Fabrizio answers a push from Diogo on a       board

Fabrizio has   ...top pair.

Diogo has   for two overs.

Turn....

River...


Diogo has Fabrizio covered and Italy lose their first of four from the Final Table.

[Des]

With Fabrizio"s exit, Ireland are now guaranteed Silver and in with a (very) outside chance of taking the Gold for Italy.  Germany are favourites for the Bronze, but Spain could still overtake them.

Diogo in action again, this time against Eammon Gavin from Ireland.

Eamonn open shoves for 26.1k and I caught a glimpse of his hand...

Sure enough he calls.

Eammon has  

Board  

Eammon doubles.

[Paulie_D]

Ireland and Italy tangle at the top of the table.

I arrive to see that Frank has all  his chips in the middle having been called off by Luca

The board is  

Luca, I think, had   , I only caught a glimpse.

Frank had kept his cards and flips  

Nut flush...Frank doubles.

[Paulie_D]

A couple more rounds.

Blinds are now 1500/3000

Frank pushes for 16.5 and is called by Germany"s Philip Henze

Frank has  

Philip has  

Flop... ...set for Frank but straight draw for Philip.

Turn  

River...

Frank back to 10BB again.

[Paulie_D]

Philip Henze is standing but my view is blocked by the backs of the rail.

Apparently, there is an all in and someone is thinking.

[Paulie_D]

Its Diogo Batista  

Diogo Batista had   and Philip AK off

I couldn"t catch the cards because of an obstructed view but i think Diogo caught a card and eliminated Philip.

[Des]

With Philip Henze"s exit, Spain now have a clear line in the sand to secure Bronze.  They need an additional 14 points.

The noise is starting to generate looks from the floor...

Germano Cerruti and Diogo go to war

Germano Cerruti  has  

Diogo  

Board runs out  

Germano doubles...and so does the volume.

[Paulie_D]

Unfortunately, Diogo has had to leave having accumulated a large stack so he"ll be blinded out.
