Flower Power No Good Against Hille

Action folded to Randal Flowers in the hijack and he raised to 4,000. Elisabeth Hille, the 11th-place finished from this year's World Series of Poker Main Event, proceeded to three-bet to 10,300 from the big blind, Flowers called, and the flop came down {6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

From there, Flowers led out for 8,500, Hille called, and the {4-Diamonds} turned. Again Flowers bet, this time 9,200, and Hille called. The {A-Spades} river saw Flowers slow down with a check, and Hille took the opportunity to fire out 12,000, a little less than half her remaining stack. Flowers quickly folded and Hille took down the pot without a showdown.

The Fussy Vegan

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

An awesome new service for the European Poker Tour Season 9 players is the EPT Concierge, which Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu is clearly taking full advantage of!

Negreanu is Average

Stacked that is.

Daniel Negreanu is up to 120,000 after he raised to 4,500 and got one caller before Borge Dypvik moved all from the big blind. Negreanu pushed in to cover and get rid of the caller.

Negreanu: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Dypvik: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The board came {2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and a much happier Kid Poker has chipped up somewhat

Holden Doing Well at Hold'em

Sam Holden is trying to make a splash on this this side of the pond after making the 2011 World Series of Poker final table. He's making a good fist of it today, and has broken through the 200k barrier.

He opened to 4,000 and then tank-called when Igor Kurganov shoved for 34,7000.

Holden: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Kurganov: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

"I assume you're good at flipping so I'm going to stand."

He wasn't wrong as the board ran {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to make the Brit two-pair.

Chati Running Wild

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Farid Chati from Belgium has just had an incredible run by busting two players at his table in two consecutive hands! At first he sent home the player in the hijack seat who went all-in with {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} and ran into Chati's {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} which proved to be the winning hand on a {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} board.

Then on the very next hand Germany's Julian Bober shoved from an early position and Chati called again. The Belgian showed a pair of kings and hit a set on the flop eliminating a second player in just two hands.

One More Break

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Level 13, as unlucky as it was for some, is done. That means players are on the last 15-minute break of the day. When they return, they'll play Level 14 before bagging and tagging.

Level: 14

Blinds: 1,200/2,400

Ante: 300
