Greco Gets Lucky Break

[user76023]
[user76023]
Michael Greco has hit a huge double up, getting it all-in against Andrew Chen with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} but hitting versus {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} when the board came {3-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}.

Jesper Hougaard offered that time-honoured phrase as the former Eastenders actor scooped the chips, "Must be nice..."

Devilfish Having Fun

Devilfish managed to move all in preflop and leave his opponent with a decision.

"I've got the best hand," the 'Fish told him, "Otherwise your money'd already be in there. Just try to do something before the blinds go up to 4,000/8,000."

His opponent still dwelled.

"Do you have a pair?" asked Devilfish. Yes, was the answer. "Oh. Then don't call. I'll do an impression while we're waiting," he continued, slanting his sunglasses at a crazy angle across his face, "Come on, who's this?" Everyone just sort of giggled nervously. "It's Van Gogh at the beach."

Eventually Devilfish's opponent folded pocket jacks face up. A relieved Devilfish showed him pocket tens. "I'm glad you folded," he continued, "Now I might win the tournament."

Eugene Katches an Ace

We arrived at the table just in time to see Eugene Katchalov getting his whole stack in preflop and yawning.

Mr. Opponent: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Katchalov: rather behind with {A-Spades} {10-Hearts}

Nevertheless, board: {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} {A-Clubs}

Katchalov stays in and doubles to around 60,000.

Demi-almost-done

A raise from Josef Samanek saw a push behind him with a call from Ivan Demidov. Samanek moved in too and the Russian sighed, "I guess I'm behind..." but then added "Oh, wow, I'm not..." when he saw Samanek's {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. Demidov turned over {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and the short stack flipped {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}.

The board came {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {A-Hearts} ("That's not good..." said Demidov) {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts}.

The Russian was left with just 7,000 remaining while the short stack was eliminated.

Samanek is up to about 120,000 as a result.
