Evangelos Vrakas Re-Takes The Chip Lead

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

McLean Karr just had the temerity to take the chip lead from under the snout of Evangelos Vrakas and in quick response he has taken it back. Here is the chip leader in action.

The player seated under the gun raised to 800 and both Zimnan Ziyard and Evangelos Vrakas called in position.The flop rained down {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} and Ziyard bet 1,550 when checked to. Action back on our chip leader and he raised it up to 6,050 from the button and both players folded.

Squeezy Does It

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Ilias Zografos opened to 1,000 with Joe Elpayaa and Stefan Petrov making the call behind him. Rupert Elder though had other ideas and made it 4,125 from the small blind, the other three folded fairly quickly and the former San Remo champion picked up another pot. He's around the 50,000 mark.

Hark The Herold Angel Wins

Jason Wheeler made a standard raise from early position and he received two cold callers in the shape of Emmanoyil Martorakis (SB) and Julian Herold (BB). The three of them stared downwards onto a {10-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} flop and it was a flop that caused all sorts of mayhem. Martorakis took the betting lead with a 1,600 punt before Julian Herold raised to 5,400. Wheeler studied the board before making the call and then Martorakis pulled in the crowds with a raise to 14,100. What seemed like a pretty innocuous hand had turned into something pretty exciting. Herold thought so because he didn't want to let his hand go and made the call. Wheeler was next and he too didn't fancy discarding his two pieces of card, but after a while in the tank did decide to fold.

The dealer laid the {8-Diamonds} perfectly on its back and Martorakis checked to Herold who moved all-in. It was a decision for Martorakis' future in EPT Loutrakis and he made the call.

Herold{J-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Martorakis{A-Spades} {2-Spades}

Martorakis needed a spade on the river and the last time we checked the {7-Clubs} was not a spade and Martorakis was gone. Herold meantime took his place at the top of our chip counts with two more levels left to play.

Level: 7

Blinds: 250/500

Ante: 50

Rizov Fades the Uberdraw

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Miroslav Rizov has doubled up - he was holding {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} on a {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} flop - pretty good but he was up against the drawtacular hand {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of Ignat Liviu. The turn and the river were both fives, coming {5-Clubs} and {5-Spades} and Rizov doubled up to about 35,000. Liviu still has around his starting stack.

Mark Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Andrey Markov has just eliminated Viktor Gerasymenko in a battle of the short-stacks, Markov had pushed preflop and Gerasymenko called off his stack for slightly less.

Markov: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Gerasymenko: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board came {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
