Ivo Donev Eliminated In 14th Place (£23,000)

[user76023]

A short-stacked Ivo Donev moved all-in preflop and Martin Gudvangen made the call.

Donev: {A-Hearts}

Gudvangen: {A-Clubs}

An unhelpful board for both of {5-Clubs}

mean we lose another player.

"See you next EPT, thank you," he said to the camera.

Rajkumar Doubles Through Spindler by Accident

[user46392]

Vivek Rajkumar raised from the button only for Benny Spindler, who reminds us of the 'emo' smiley on Skype chat, to reraise from the big blind. Rajkumar thought about it for a moment before pushing -- but an instacall later, he wished he hadn't.

But only very briefly.

Rajkumar: {K-Spades}

Spindler: way ahead with {9-Clubs}

Board: bink! {A-Spades}

Rajkumar accidentally doubles up to 1.4 million, while the hapless Spindler is crippled to 400,000.

Rui the Day

[user46392]

Rui Milhomens raised to 90,000 in early position and got a call from Marty Smyth in the big blind.

The two of them proceeded to cagily check down the {8-Spades}

board until the river, when Milhomens looked very intense and bet 100,000. Smyth check-called, though, and Milhomens mucked when Smyth flipped {A-Spades}

.

Smyth - up to 1.7 million
Milhomens - down to just 600,000

Smiling Smires

[user76023]

Karim Bennani Smires raised preflop from the button and Tobias Renkemeier called in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}

and Renkemeier check-called 150,000. On the {5-Hearts}

turn, Renkemeier checked and Smires moved all-in.

Looking like Maverick from Top Gun, Renkemeier suddenly developed a pained look on his face, tanking for a couple of minutes before folding.

Level: 26

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

Ante: 5,000

We're playing half an hour of this level and then the remaining players will go on a dinner break.

Aaron Has Air

[user46392]

Up on the TV table Aaron Gustavson managed to bluff away a million chips or so. He bet 535,000 on the river of a board that read {9-Diamonds}

but Martin Gudvangen made the call with {Q-Hearts}

and Gustavson just mucked.

"I was thinking about raising," Gudvangen said, as he raked in the pot to make him our new chip leader on 4.7 million.

Rajkumar Short Again

[user46392]

Oh dear. After that fantastically lucky double up through Benny Spindler put him back in the running, a trio of hands gone wrong has put Vivek Rajkumar right back down to 800,000.

First, he and Marty Smyth saw a {6-Clubs}

flop, and Rajkumar had to lay down {A-?}

when Smyth bet 130,000.

Then the action folded around to Rajkumar in the small blind and he raised to 120,000. Big blind Nikolai Senninger called. They checked down the {4-Hearts}

board until the river, when Rajkumar bet out 160,000. Senninger called, and his {A-Hearts}

was good to take the pot as Rajkumar could only boast {J-Diamonds}

.

And the last, biggest hand went like so.

Rajkumar raised to 125,000 in the cutoff, and after some considerable time spent dwelling, Karim Bennani in the big blind called.

Bennani check-called 94,000 on the {3-Clubs}
