Goodbye Sami

donpeters

Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro raised to 1,100 from early position. Richard Gryko, Aleksey Yuzikov, and Ludovic Lacay all made the call. The players took the flop of {Q-Diamonds}

. Lacay was first to act and checked. Kelopuro was next and fired 3,200. Gryko was next in line and raised to 8,500. Yuzikov and Lacay folded before Kelopuro committed the rest of his chips to make the call.

He tabled {J-Diamonds}

against Gryko's {K-Diamonds}

.

The turn was the {10-Spades}

and the river the {J-Clubs}

, giving Kelopuro two pair. Unfortunately, that two pair gave Gryko a straight with his king and Kelopuro was sent to the rail. Gryko is up to 35,000 chips now.

Kelopuro Crippled

Everyone knows how aggressive Ludovic Lacay can be. Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro happened to run his pocket queens into Ludovic's aces a little while ago in preflop all-in action. After his queens failed to improve, Kelopuro fell to 4,400 and Lacay improved to 66,000.

Lellouche Increases Lead

donpeters

Antony Lellouche raised from the button to 1,150 before Michele Limongi reraised to 3,600 out of the big blind. Lellouche then four-bet to 11,000, getting a fold from Limongi. This put Lellouche at 125,000.

On the next hand, Lellouche opened to 1,150 again like the good chip leader he is. Limongi called again, this time out of the small blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}

and both players checked to see the {7-Spades}

hit the turn. Limongi checked and then Lellouche fired 2,300. Limongi called and the {10-Hearts}

came on the river. Limongi checked and Lellouche fired 3,400. Limongi made the call.

Update On Scotty Baby

donpeters

Scotty Nguyen hasn't been up to much all day. We just witnessed him getting in a small pot that he lost after folding the river. It only cost him about 2,000 chips, but did slide him down to 21,375 all together.

Scotty also doesn't seem to be himself today. He's sitting in the back corner of the tournament room, out of sight for most of the spectators. Normally, you can hear the Prince of Poker loud and clear even without seeing him, but Scotty's been extremely quiet. We haven't heard one single "Baby!" uttered all day.

donpeters

Lacay folded, sensing something fishy in the air, and then Gryko made the call after a few moments of thought.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}

and both remaining players checked. The turn was the {3-Spades}

and gryko led out for 5,600. Yuzikov moved all in for 16,500 and Gryko made the call.

When the hands were revealed, Gryko was drawing dead with {8-Hearts}
