Big Double for Buddiga

From the hijack seat, Valdimir Geshkenbein raised to 62,000. Next up was Pratyush Buddiga in the cutoff seat and he three-bet to 156,000. Geshkenbein wanted to see a flop and made the call.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Geshkenbein checked. Buddiga fifed 133,000 and Geshkenbein check-raised to an even 300,000. After a couple minutes of thought, Buddiga reraised to 470,000. Geshkenbein took a few moments, then shoved all in. Buddiga quickly called holding the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Geshkenbein held trip kings as well, but with a weaker kicker. He had the {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and helped Geshkenbein by giving him a flush draw. The river was the {A-Diamonds}, though, and not what he needed. Buddiga filled up to win the hand. He was all in for 1.233 million on the flop and doubled to just under 2.9 million. Geshkenbein was left with just 360,000.

Wright Makes A Big Fold; Fancies His Chances In This Event

Marc Wright is very confident of taking down this tournament if his chat on the rail is anything to go by. He had opened in the cutoff and [Removed:284] three-bet from the big blind to 175,000. Wright then confirmed the bet before four-betting to 286,000. [Removed:287] called and it was off to the {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop.

[Removed:287] lead into Wright with a bet of 175,000 and the Brit instantly called and the dealer put out the {7-Hearts} turn. No sooner had it hit the felt [Removed:287] had moved all in for 1,800,000 and Wright did not seem happy at all. He was rocking in his chair, re-checking his cards and huffing and puffing before eventually letting his hand go.

[Removed:287] claimed to have nines whilst Wright spoke to his friends on the rail where he said if the field was tougher he would have cold but the remaining field is so soft (in his opinion not ours) that he factored that into his decision.

Big Doubles for Kitai

From under the gun, Marc Wright raised to 85,000. Davidi Kitai reraised to 210,000. In the small blind, Vladimir Geshkenbein reraised to 500,000. Action folded back over to Kitai and he moved all in for 1.505 million. Geshkenbein made the call.

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Kitai's set of queens won the pot. Geshkenbein was left with just 105,000 in chips.

Vladimir Geshkenbein - 10th Place

After Davidi Kitai raised from under the gun, Vladimir Geshkenbein stuck his last 100,000 in from the button. Kitai made the cheap call and showed the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}. Geshkenbein held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Kitai won the pot with a pair of tens. He crippled Geshkenbein the hand before and now eliminated him in 10th place. For his finish, Geshkenbein earned €51,000. With his exit, this now guarantees we will see a brand new EPT champion crowned.
