Lapossie Double-Check-Raise Bluffs

Georgios Kapalas raised from the button, and Matt Lapossie called in the big blind to see a {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} flop.

Lapossie checked and Kapalas continuation-bet 67,000, only for Lapossie to make it 156,000 to go. Call.

They saw a {4-Diamonds} turn and once again Lapossie checked. Kapalas bet 190,000 -- and Lapossie check-raised again, this time to 403,000. Kapalas disappeared into the tank -- and announced all in for over a million, with a million in the pot.

...

Instafold!

Singing From the Terrazas

Wow, he folded?
Wow, he folded?
Santiago Terrazas raised, and was met with a reraise from Georgios Kapalas. Everyone else got out of their way, and back to Terrazas -- who announced all in for 587,000 total.

Kapalas took his time making a decision, Terrazas looking at his watch and appearing frankly rather tense. Eventually Kapalas passed, though, and the pot was his.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
