Maceiras Cracks Aces
"It's easy to crack aces," commented a member of the Portuguese media while Jeffrey Hakim was handing almost his whole stack over to Juan Maceiras.
Hakim had raised and Maceiras shoved. Another player, who is on our list as Narendra Banwari but introduced himself last night on the Tube home as "Nick", tanked for some time but folded. On their backs, and it was to be a very painful experience for Mr. Hakim.

Maceiras is now very definitely back in the game with 105,000. Hakim was down to just 5,000 or so and looked rather unwell. We hung around the table in case he got his last in the next hand, but he just folded his button with a dejected air. He's going to have to get it in soon though.
