WSOP Day 2C: 'Darkored' and 'Piokari' Advance, Mestre Eliminated
Two Spanish poker players, Álvaro Áspas 'Darkored' and Emilio Domínguez 'Piokari', have advanced to Day 2C of the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Raul Mestre was eliminated in the first level of the tournament with a trio of aces against a flopped straight. Mestre, known as 'El profesor,' had traveled from Alicante to Las Vegas for the tournament. He received the favorable hand of A-A but was defeated by a player with 4-5, resulting in a flopped straight.
Álvaro Áspas 'Darkored' has 58,000 points (145bb) and Emilio Domínguez 'Piokari' has 42,000 points (105bb). 'Darkored' maintained a steady performance, while 'Piokari' made a comeback with a bold move, going all-in for 18,000 points. Phil Laak played all hands and pushed his last fifteen blinds for Álvaro to see the bet.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
