A few more players proudly wearing the PartyPoker patch have joined the mix. PartyPoker Team Pro Jaime Staples was off to a great start. He opened UTG on Blinds 400/800 and got three callers. Action was checked to Staples on the Q♣9♣3♠ flop, and he continued for 7,000. One of his opponents then raised to 15,000, and another player cold-called. Back to Staples, who decided to pull the trigger; he moved all in for 40,000. The re-raiser committed his 20,000 stack to the call before the third contestant mucked his hand.
Jaime Staples: K♥Q♥
Opponent: A♣J♣
Staples improved to trips on the Q♠ turn, and the 4♥ didn’t see his opponent hitting the nut flush. As such, Staples now plays a very good stack.
According to his Instagram, Jaime’s brother Matt Staples (also a PartyPoker Team Pro) is spending the day sightseeing in Córdoba to get over the jet lag. It’s an educated guess we’ll see him in one of the other three starting-day flights of the €150 Mini Main Event.
Jaime Staples: 95,000
