Melanie Weisner Has Left The Building
Melanie Weisner has busted out in rather unspectacular style. Down to a single big blind, she moved all-in blind from late position leaving Elky to attempt to isolate her with a raise to 8,500. The big blind, possibly wise of the Frenchman's plans, called, taking it to the flop.
Flop: 
- Elky makes a continuation bet of 7,200, a bet that is quickly called by the big blind.
Turn: 
- Elky now slows down and checks, opening the door for a 20,000 bet from the big blind and an insta-fold from Elky.
The big blind shows 
and Weisner's hand is already in the much before the dealer puts out the brick on the river.
Weisner then acknowledged her opponent's hand before leaving and revealing she had been hiding a striking pair of knee-high boots all day under the table. I thought she was a sneaker's kind of girl, you learn something new everyday!
Kastle Crumbles
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
"Rebuy, please," Casey Kastle requested as we strolled by his table. Although it was somewhat tempting just to tell him yes and ask him for €5,000, we instead told him that it was sadly not within our powers to help him out. And with just 15,000 or so in chips to his name, he was in need of help. "I hate poker," he told the table. I'm just afraid to put this in there [he meant his stack and the middle of the table respectively, in case that wasn't obvious], I know what could happen."
But afraid or not, Kastle only had five big blinds. So it was that the very next hand Bryn Kenney opened for 7,200 in late position, and over on the button Kastle shipped in his remaining stack. Kenney called and they were on their backs.
"Best hand of the day," Kastle declared, turning over 
.
"Me too," said Kenney, revealing the lowly 
.
Board: 
Though Kastle politely requested a royal flush on the turn, it didn't come in and Kenney's flush sent him to the rail. "Good luck, boys, have a great time," he said to the table, and he was gone.
Some Action From Table 13 After the Break
Juan Enrique Company Iborra made an opening raise to 11,000 from the cut off and a player on the button three-bet to 27,000 and Company made the call.
The flop was 
and Company bet 25,000 and his opponent folded.
Company ~ 362,000
A few hands later and Team Pokerstars Pro Matthias De Meulder opened from the button to 6,700 and Oscar Blanco Carrasco three bet from the small blind to 17,500 and De Meulder called. The flop was 
Carrasco checked and De Meulder bet 12,300 and Carrasco called. The turn was 
and the action was the same as the flop except the amount was bigger - De Meulder making it 18,600 this time. The river was 
and De Meulder made it 38,000. Carrasco had a very tough decision on his hands. He took his headphones off, bit his finger nails and rubbed his head and face before eventually folding.
De Meulder ~ 185,500
Thorsson: Had More-sson
Over at the Table Of Death, Kristoffer Thorsson has taken a bit of a hit after getting involved in a three-way pot with the gentlemen in the small blind and on the button. Thorsson himself was in the big blind.
We didn't catch the preflop action but the pot size suggested that the button had raised and both blinds had called. They saw a 
flop, which they checked around.
The turn was the 
and the small blind bet out. This didn't scare Thorsson, who called, although it successfully pushed the button off the pot and they continued to the river heads up.
The river came down the and the bet from the small blind was 18,400. Thorsson, the expression of slight bewilderment that he always wears while in a hand unchanged, made the call - but quietly mucked when the small blind turned over 
for a flush that had come in by the back door.
Nevertheless, Thorsson's still above average with 195,000.
Leo Roars!
Leo Margets has wasted no time in accumulating chips since the dinner break and now sits on around 190,000.
We are still trying to piece together all the minor details but she ended up all-in with 
against her opponent's 
with the final board reading 
Margets is looking for her first EPT cash, which may shake off her title of "Last Woman Standing at the 2009 WSOP Main Event." She can live in hope
And We're Back
The clock read 33 minutes or so when everyone went to dinner, so that's how many minutes we have remaining of Level 14. Back to work.
Dinner Dinner Dinner Dinner Dinner Time
Say the title to the beat of Batman.
Back in 60 minutes, folks.
Sunar Rather Than Later
We found Surinder Sunar moving all in for around 30,000 on the turn of a 
, perhaps 25,000 in the pot already. His opponent (who had just 60,000 or so left himself) tanked up for a while, but eventually made the call with 
. Sunar turned over and after avoiding any nastiness on the 
river, he doubled up to 85,000.
Almost Feeding Time at the Zoo
By the by, it has been decreed that everyone will be taking a dinner break halfway through this level, in around 15 minutes' time - hence the no break at the end of the last level.
