For the second year in a row, the only Brazilian player failed to make it past the five-hand stage in the Sunday Million decider. Rio de Janeiro’s Guilherme Stoliar was the victim of a crushing defeat, leaving PokerStars with $22,754, his best result in an MTT on the site.
Guilherme, who ran the account “calcinha92”, quickly left the battle for the Sunday Financial Times Million account. After 5 hands, he led with K♥5♠ and declared an all-in 12 BBS. The big “Blowknockout” bid revealed A♣J♦. The 3♣7♠K♠7♥6♠ card brought a card from Guilherme and he got a reprieve.
At the same level, Guilherme was one card away from losing again against a “blowknockout” pair, but the player from Mexico hit a runner-up-runner-up flush to collect his opponent’s Bounty. Here’s what happened:
With blinds of 2,000,000/4,000,000 and an ante of 500,000, Guilherme defended his big hand and called blowknockout’s min-raise. The flop came Q♠2 10 ♦ , blowknockout called a continuation bet of 6,765,000. Guilherme then responded with a check-raise, all-in for 50,056,128. blowknockout called and showed Q 6♥. Guilherme held Q♥J and went all-in on round 3, But the river card of 7 caused him to collapse.
