Alex Ribeiro

Down to only a couple big blinds, Alex Ribeiro shoved them in preflop from early position. Nick Avena called from the big blind and Ribeiro was at risk.

Avena: AdJc
Ribeiro: KdQh

Runout: 9d3s2c8c2h

Ribeiro never improved and just like that. The 25th-place cash added to Ribeiro’s successful Winter Poker Open which also saw him place fourth following a four-way chop in the $570 opener.

Nick Avena – 315,000
Alex Ribeiro – Eliminated in 25th place ($1,035)

Just about an hour since the bubble burst at the hands of Aaron Kerns, it’s Kerns that leads the way in the Winter Poker Open $350. With a stack of about 780,000 chips, he holds 65 big blinds and is tops to start Level 19.

Gary Elvis

Following nearly an hour of hand-for-hand play, the bubble burst in the $350 restart leaving 51 left and assuring them all at least $661.

On the fateful hand, Gary Elvis and Aaron Kerns saw a flop of Kd7s6c. Elvis got all-in and Kerns called putting the bubble at risk.

Kerns: Kh9s for top pair
Elvis: Ah9h for ace-high

Turn and river: KsAs

No help for Elvis on the turn or river and he was eliminated in 52nd place sending the remaining 51 into the money.

Aaron Kerns – 376,000
Gary Elvis – Eliminated on the bubble

Fred Paradis (Seat 5) and Sam Harvey (Seat 6)

The start-of-day chip leader Fred Paradis took a massive hit to his stack leaving himself less than five big blinds.

According to the table, Paradis held 9d6d against Sam Harvey’s Ac8s. The flop was 8c6c5d and the duo got the last of Harvey’s roughly 180,000 chips in the middle. Harvey was at risk while Paradis wasn’t in much better shape with only 29,000 behind after the call.

Paradis held a pair of sixes, a gutshot straight draw and backdoor flush outs. Harvey, meanwhile, had top top.

Turn and river: 2dKc

Paradis never improved and was left stunned. Harvey stacked the pot and Paradis hit the rail a short time later — shy of the money after starting the day as the big stack.

Play moved hand-for-hand a short time later.

Fred Paradis – Eliminated

Tom Nguyen

As expected, it’s a quick go here early on Day 2 of the Winter Poker Open $350. Tom Nguyen, who started the day with a top 10 stack, already whittled himself down to 75,000. After an early-position open, Nguyen shoved them all in the middle. The opponent called and just like that, Nguyen was at risk.

Nguyen: Ad7d
Opponent: KcJc

Runout: Jd7h4d7cTc

The hand was far from over after the flop with both players catching a big piece of it. The turn 7c tripped up Nguyen, though.

“I win, right?” he laughed deciphering the board.

One player not enjoying the same comeback is Tampa’s Wally Maddah. He recently hit the rail when his AxQx was bested by an opponent’s AxKx.

Tom Nguyen – 163,000
Wally Maddah – Eliminated
