Flushes All Round

Cimpan didn't get Carter
Cimpan didn't get Carter
Carter Phillips has picked up a nice pot courtesy of fellow American Cornel Cimpan.

Blind on blind, Phillips in the small blind was the aggressor all the way down the {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} board, ending with an 80,000 bet on the river. Cimpan called, but when Phillips turned over {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for the flush, Cimpan mucked what he claimed was a smaller flush.

Oleksandr Vaserfirer Eliminated in 16th Place (€30,000)

Oleksandr Vaserfirer - 16th Place
Oleksandr Vaserfirer - 16th Place
Oleksandr Vaserfirer had been open-shoving for a while with no takers, but finally his run would end.

After Toni Ojala opened under the gun, Vaserfirer moved all in from the button. Action got back to Ojala and he made the call holding {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Vaserfirer held {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

The board ran out {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Spades} {3-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} and that was it for Vaserfirer. He went home in 16th place while Ojala moved up to 880,000.

Timex Tries It On

Chip leader Marc Goodwin has been the most active player at the feature table recently, raising preflop an awful lot, and this time he got himself reraised to 120,000 by Mike "Timex" McDonald. Goodwin flatted.

They saw a {J-Spades} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} flop and Goodwin checked. Timex bet -- but was left with a decision when Goodwin raised all in to cover him. He opted for the fold.

Cimpan Doubles Through Nuijten

A Cool Half-Mill For Cimpan.
A Cool Half-Mill For Cimpan.
Cornel Cimpan raised to 50,000 preflop and Julien Nuijten made it 125,000 behind. Passed back to Cimpan who called with 124,000 behind.

The flop was {7-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Spades} and Cimpan quickly moved all-in. Nuijten called with {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}, behind to Cimpan's {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}.

The turn killed the hand with the {8-Hearts} on the turn and Cimpan boated up on the {7-Clubs} river.

Cimpan has around 500,000 while Nuijten still has around a million.

Timex Running Out of Time

Mike "Timex" McDonald is taking a bit of a battering -- just now he raised in early position, but laid it down to a reraise from Matt Lapossie to his left, Timex looking distinctly frustrated as he mucked his hand.

Timex is down to 398,000.

De Wolfe Getting Eaten Alive

Hit him where it hurts
Hit him where it hurts
small blind Roland de Wolfe and big blind Julien Nuijten limp/checked their way to a {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {7-Hearts} flop and de Wolfe bet out 35,000. Nuijten called.

De Wolfe checked the {6-Hearts} turn and Nuijten turned to him. "If I want you to fold, I should play now," he said. He checked.

They saw an {8-Clubs} river and now de Wolfe bet out 75,000. Nuijten tossed in enough orange 25,000 chips to cover de Wolfe, who swiftly and dejectedly folded. De Wolfe drops down to 280,000.
