In a three-way pot the board was reading , blinds Kevin MacPhee and Rolands Norietis checked across to Stefan Raffay who bet 1,000. MacPhee called and Norietis check-raised to 2,000 with both players calling to see the turn.
MacPhee checked again and Norietis now led out for 4,750, Raffay folded and MacPhee made the call a second time and the river was the to make four to a straight out on the board. The American now moved all in for 18,450 into the pot of about 16,000 and Norietis tanked. The Latvian was thinking for nearly ten minutes before the clock was finally called on him - this spurred him into action and he finally released his hand.
Salman Behbehani raised to 350 in first position and Georges Yazbeck made the three-bet to 1,550 from the big blind. Behbehani studied his opponent (who looked like a mature gentleman that doesn't have the word bluff in his vocabulary) before making the call.
The flop was and Yazbeck bet 2,250 and Behbehani called. The on the turn was checked by both parties before we saw the on the river. Yazbeck bet 3,150 and Behbehani didn't look like a happy pappy. He feverishly fiddled with his chips before finally folding his hand.
"What do you think?" He asked Rettenmaier.
"Good fold, Said the German
Yazbeck must be doing something right because he now has 57,000 chips.
When Vanessa Rousso steps into a tournament floor she receives plenty of attention. Once all of the interviews have been done she needs to settle down to earn a living and she hasn't gotten off to the best of starts. This hand typifies her morning.
There was a raise from early position for 400 and Rousso three-bet to 1,000 a few seats to the left. Players folded one after another until the original raiser four-bet to 2,500. A strong play and Rousso was aware of this and just called. The flop was and the original raiser bet 3,000 and Rousso called. The turn was the and the orignal raiser snap-check-called a 5,000 Rousso bet. The final card in this interesting pot was the and both players checked.

Rousso knew where she was and tapped the felt in recognition.
It's an interesting battle on table 14, where there are four Bulgarians involved, including Simeon Naydenov and Jordan Mitrentsov - these two being close friends and have played many pots against each other in multiple tournaments. Pretty much a leveling war here.
Naydenov opened to 300 from the button and Mitrentsov made the call in the big blind to see a flop, Mitrentsov then check-raised Naydenov's 500 continuation bet to 1,125 but his compatriot made the call.
Both players then checked the turn and the river, Mitrentsov showing but Naydenov's set holding of was more than enough to win him the pot.
And these names are BIG, at least 20 letters or more.
Gerasimos Deres had fired 1,050 on a flop of before Roger Hairabedian min-raised to 2,100. Michail Manolakis then cold-called this bet while the amazingly named Dimitrios Mparmpathanasis opted to fold from the blinds. Deres also called to see the on the turn, which didn't seem to change much, though both Deres and Hairabedian both checked across to Manolakis, the Greek player firing out 5,000. Deres folded, as did Hairabedian - the Frenchman flipping face up into the muck.
It's not looking like Arnaud Mattern's day so far, he fired 2,675 on the turn of a board against his opponent who check-called. On the Mattern's female foe led into him for 2,750 and the Frenchman sighed and called.
Theo Jorgensen had put a big ol' bet out of 10,500 on the river of a into a pot of around 12,000 against Jan Collado and was sitting perfectly still as the German debated his options. Eventually Collado made the call and Jorgensen reluctantly turned over - Collado winning with .
