TIME STAMP
01:58 [SCORE: MISS BOTEZ 0-0 ALESSIO] Game starting
02:43 [BETTING] She’s going to go ahead and pump up the pot
04:38 She’s going aggressive
08:23 [GREAT CHESS MOVE] He’s in trouble. He’s going to lose on time. Oh, that was a clever move. Brilliant move!
09:12 Well-played Alessio by getting extra contact points. All the Pawns are coming off the board.
10:04 [BETTING TACTICS] Raise on two Pawns, Jeff? This is very aggressive
10:50 [ALL-IN BET] We see the pot inflating all of a sudden 16K. He’s all-in!
16:34 Oh, she did get a Queen
16:42 [ALL-IN] And they’re all-in.
18:32 [GREAT CHESS MOVE] Here comes the Queen. Oh, that’s is mean and nasty! That is a brilliant move
21:48 [GREAT CHESS MOVE] King’s going berserk. It’s absolutely in his guts, but actually, the Knight is so clever.
22:58 [SCORE: MISS BOTEZ 1 – ALESSIO 0] Gotta, calm yourself down. It’s not a fun way to lose
23:40 That’s still not great for Alexandra. Alessio has got a very powerful hand already.
24:27 [ALL-IN BET] Whoa, she’s just gone all-in. She hasn’t got anything.
25:07 She goes for the jugular
25:50 [PLACEMENT] That’s massive. He’s got a Queen and two Rooks.
26:21 See the pot size 14,000, a total of 20,000 in place. This is a must-win for Alessio here.
27:04 [CHESS THREAT] Threatening to go boom and give check to the King. That is nasty. Very nasty.
28:38 [CHESS TACTICS] Queen checks. The best way to defend is to attack.
29:46 Oh wow. Queen here is now threatening mate.
30:13 [CHOKEMATE THREAT] This could be checkmate. It could be Chokemate. This could be your chips mate.
31:41 He’s going to run out of time
31:47 This is brilliant. Oh, the Knight’s in the game now. All of a sudden Black’s out of danger.
32:10 Alessio does take the lead here. Very important for him to finish this off
34:03 [PLACEMENT STRATEGY] Those Pawns on the right-hand side are pretty weird.
34:38 She’s pretty much outgunned here.
36:47 This is a winning chance. Rook takes Pawn. Rook takes Pawn. Yes.
38:08 [END GAME BLUNDER] He’s going about it completely the wrong way. Oh, that was a missed opportunity.
39:14 [ALL-IN BET] We do see an all-in again.
42:10 Oh, he missed a winning chance on the first move.
43:07 [SCORE: MISS BOTEZ 2 – 0 ALESSIO] That looks like a disconnection to me because there was no chess reason.
43:20 So according to the rules a point to Alex, the server has confirmed. Alessio did lose connection. So yeah, 2-0
44:23 [ALL=IN BET] And all-in we’re seeing them, we’re seeing blasts and right into it. So there’s a 20,000 chip pot. This is win or go home for Alessio
46:23 [CHESS TIP] ABC in chess Avoid Block or Capture to get out of check
48:04 [GREAT CHESS MOVE] Nice move Miss Botez. We’re talking about a cascade of captures here.
48:34 Bang! Yeah. And the King’s on the run.
49:10 [CHESS SKEWER] That threat is Bishop skewering those two pieces that will be nasty.
50:19 Miss Botez goes back on the counter-attack. Queen check. Now it must be over.
50:51 [SCORE: MISS BOTEZ 3 – 0 ALESSIO] He ran out of pieces and he’s run out of chips. It’s 3-0 to Miss Botez who goes through to the semifinals.
52:53 [MISS BOTEX INTERVIEW] I wasn’t thinking of the disconnect strategy when I was playing. I really enjoyed it.
53:29 [PLACEMENT TIP] I was just trying to have an outside pass Pawn for one of the games.
54:44 Yeah. And he almost caught me. I think I got distracted.
55:38 [BLITZ TECHNIQUE] So if I make the pre-move instantly, it gives them less time to react as well.
55:47 [MISS BOTEZ] You know that bullet is one of my favorite time controls.
56:17 It was a blast. Thank you so much.
56:32 That’s going to be fun because I know he’s an incredible poker player,
57:54 That was my Dad He’s a fan of the game as well.
