Jose Colada Plummets, Renato Villanueva Soars

Level 16: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Jose Colada

Jose Colada may have to return tomorrow for another shot at a three-peat having just been chunked down to 1 bb. He was up against Renato Villanueva who raised 8000 and Colada called from the big blind.

On a flop 5♠ 7♠ A♣ , Colada leads out 5000, Villanueva pumps it up to 20,000, Colada calls and it buys the turn K♠ . Wasting no time counting, Colada jams and with less behind, Villanueva calls for his tournament life.

Villanueva is ahead with two pair. Colada needs to hit on the river but misses instead to plunge to 1 bb.

Jose Colada Rails Peter Nowicki

Level 11: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Strong start for Peter Nowicki is given the brakes by the two-time champion Jose Colada. The hand kicks off with a 2500 raise from Colada that's called by Nowicki at hijack. Flop comes 5♦ Q♦ 3♣ , Nowicki slides out 3000 then calls Colada's 9000 check-raise.

Same action on the turn J♣ with Nowicki's 25,000 bet answered with a check-raise all in from Colada. Nowicki puts his tournament life on the line.
