After winning an 80,000 chip pot, we understand Greg Raymer has been given a one orbit penalty. He had apparently won the pot having called all-in with a flush draw and hit, his Ukrainian opponent then berated him constantly for several minutes.
Eventually Raymer swore at the Ukrainian and one of the floorstaff gave Raymer the penalty for what he had said. His opponent though, managed to escape any punishment.
Aaron Gustavson (mid position) and two other players (early position and cutoff respectively) saw a flop; it checked around to Mr. Late Position who bet 4,000. Back to Mr. Early Position, who called, and then back to Gustavson, who now check-raised to 40,000 to cover them both. One by one his opponents folded.
Gustavson, his face almost on the felt owing to the extremely thorough massage he was receiving at the time, raked in the pot and was up to 70,000.
Luke Schwartz has doubled through after he check-raised a 2,000 bet to 4,125 on a flop from the small blind. The small blind made the call but then also called the 8,625 shove on the turn.
Schwartz:
Button:
The river was the and Schwartz gave the dealer a hug but then also dropped a €50 bill into the dealer's tray as well. Schwartz is back up to almost 30,000.
James "Flushy" Dempsey bet out 16,000 with not much left behind on the turn of a board, leaving Alexander Roumeliotis with a decision. He decided to push. Dempsey called all in, and they turned the cards over.
Dempsey: for an up-and-down straight draw
Roumeliotis: for top pair
River:
Dempsey is in the metaphorical dumpster, while Roumeliotis is up to 120,000.
