Flushy Wins Small Pot, Has Epiphany

[user46392]
[user46392]
Wow, a hand where no-one busted or doubled up. They still exist.

We caught up with James "Flushy" Dempsey (cutoff) on the turn of the {9-Spades} {7-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs} board, calling a 35,000 bet from Maurizio Agrello (big blind). Flushy looked confused and concerned.

They both checked the {5-Spades} river and Agrello turned over {9-Clubs} {10-Spades}. "Ah!" said Flushy as though everything in the world had suddenly made sense to him. He turned over {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and took the pot.

Federico Stalls

Andrea Federico has just been busted out, finally making his move with {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} but got called by a dominating {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} held by Andreas Martens.

The board was an unexciting {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {10-Spades} {8-Hearts} and the numbers continue to tumble.

Stani-Still

[user76023]
Kevin Stani must have been delighted to get his short stack all-in with {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} and get a call from fellow Norwegian Dag Martin Mikkelsen.

Except Mikkelsen held {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}.

Oh.

The board held no surprises coming {8-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {4-Spades} and Stani was eliminated.

ElkY Not Well-kY

The Elk is Out
The Elk is Out
If a Team PokerStars Pro falls in the woods and there's no-one there to hear him, does he make a sound?

The sound he made when he asked him what happened while he was standing in the queue for the payout desk gave us the impression that either he hadn't quite understood the question, or, more likely, he really didn't want to talk about it. A wry smile was all we got out of him, but either way, ElkY is busto.

Riou Doubles

[user46392]
[user46392]
Julien Riou got his whole, not very large, stack in with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and was ahead of Papesch Domi's {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. No nastiness from the poker gods on the board, and he doubled up.

Board: {3-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} {8-Spades} giving Riou a winning flush.

Terminal Ilya

[user46392]
[user46392]
We found EPT Berlin finalist and editor of PokerNews UK & Europe magazine Ilya Gorodetskiy in the by now rather lengthy queue for the payout desk.

He told us that following a whole day of getting absolutely no hands and no opportunities, he shoved from the button with {Q-?} {J-?} and got called by the gent in the big blind holding {A-?} {K-?}. The big blind flopped a king, Gorodetskiy turned a flush and a straight draw - but a blank on the river sent Gorodetskiy back to Russia.

Don't Serock The Boat, Baby!

Serock-in' Out
Serock-in' Out
The button (who has got rid of his ID card - naughty!) opened and Joe Serock reraised all-in out of the big blind for 134,500 and got instantly called.

Serock: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Button: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Serock stands up.

Board: {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {4-Spades}

Serock sits down.

Teng Busto

[user46392]
[user46392]
Andrew Teng put his tournament life on the line with pocket tens but he'd smacked them into Heinz Kamutzki's pocket kings. No change on the {9-?} {3-?} {8-?} {9-?} {J-?} board, and Teng departed with a shrug.

The Science of Poker

[user46392]
The Evidence

Severin Schneider, button, all in with {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}
Alfio Battisti, big blind, holding {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}
Board: {4-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts}
Schneider: "Bye-bye," with a sad expression on his face


The Hypothesis

Schneider shoved from the button and Battisti called.


The Conclusion

Schenider is bust.
