Spend Your Break with Luca Pagano

We've reached the end of another level, and the players have been sent off for a quick break. You've got a few minutes to kill, and we can't think of a better way to spend two of them than watching a video featuring Luca Pagano. Yesterday night, Glo caught up with the best-dressed man on the EPT circuit for a little thing we like to call, "Calling the Clock". Have a look:

Labernardie Calls Opponent's Bluff

We arrived on the river of the {10-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} board to find 100,000 in the pot and Timo Pfuetzenreuter in the hijack betting 38,700, leaving himself just 2,000 behind. Marine Labernardie in the cutoff removed her shades and eyed him up. She asked for the dealer to count the bet which he duly did, and then she counted out the call from her own stack. Then she dwelled up for a while.

Eventually the clock was called, and after 30 seconds or so she bit the proverbial bullet and pushed the chips across the line.

Labernardie: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Pfuetzenreuter: tried to muck, but was made to show {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}

Labernardie's cheeks puffed up with relief as she moved on up to 260,000. Pfuetzenreuter and his remaining 2,000 chips looked pretty unhappy about the whole affair...

Play Your Brecards Right

Julien Brecard made a standard raise from the hijack (we missed that bit, but reconstructed the action from the pot size) only for Maxim Lykov to reraise another 5,300 from the button. Back to Brecard, who made it 17,000 on top of his initial raise. Lykov thought about it for a while, but folded.

Current stacks - Brecard 290,000, Lykov 205,000.

Kuder No Good

Caramatti
Caramatti
Tobias Kuder is busto, as evidenced by the sight of him getting up and leaving while Niccolo Caramatti raked in his former chips to put him up to 160,000.

Breaking News

Happy, happy Frenchman
Happy, happy Frenchman
Arnaud Mattern has been enjoying a continuous massage since - well, since his emergence on the live poker scene, to be honest.

But now, possibly because it's Day 2, he has two masseuses tending to him, one ministering to his lower back and the other currently busying herself with his right leg.

It must be awful being Arnaud.

Hougaard Chipping Up

Jesper Hougaard raised to 3,600 from the hijack and Olivier Delanne moved all in from the big blind for 39,900.

Hougaard took about three minutes, deciding whether to make the call for roughly half of his stack. He opted to do so and tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, in good shape against Delanne's {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

The board rolled out {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Hougaard won the hand to move to 115,000.

Marine No Fish

We strolled by Marine Labernardie's table to witness her raising from the small blind. Janko Medja in the big blind reraised and Labernardie called; there was 18,000 or so in the pot preflop.

They saw a {4-Spades} {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop and Labernardie bet out a very hefty 30,000, her leg jiggling wildly under the table. Medja tanked up for a long time but eventually passed.

This was not the first time the two had battled blind on blind, and Labernardie came out on top last time too. She's up to 170,000.

End of Dender

The departed
The departed
We didn't catch the hand, but we arrived just in time to see Tommy Dender getting up from his table and heading for the door.

Our PokerNews powers of deduction lead us to conclude that he is busto.
