A Tale of Two Flips

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ana Marquez
Ana Marquez

Ana Marquez was railing her boyfriend rather than playing herself. She explained she lost a race with ace-jack versus an opponent holding pocket nines.

No such problems for Ben Warrington on that front. His {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} bettered Marvin Rettenmaier's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} through a {9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board. All the chips went in preflop and Warrington was the all in player with 77,800.

Sipila joins the Growing Rail

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The rate of eliminations is starting to increase now and the latest to join that club was Samuli Sipila.

The Finn was very short and in the big blind when Andras Nemeth set him in from the small blind. Sipila saw an ace and called off his stack.

Sipila: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Nemeth: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to aid Nemeth and not Sipila.

Korotkikh Quiet For Once!

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Mikhail Kototkikh has lost some ground in the early levels and is unusually quiet — though an eccentric outburst can't be too far away.

Korotkikh opened from the cutoff with a raise to 5,400 and Ofer Schechter called from the button. The {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Spades} flop saw Korotkikh bet 15,000 and Schechter call.

The {2-Hearts} turn slowed Korotkikh down, but not Schechter. After counting his stack, Schechter fired a bet of 22,000 which left him with just 35,000 behind and Korotkikh quickly got out of the way.

Wigg Wiped Out

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The High Roller event has lost a dangerous player; Anton Wigg has been eliminated.

We saw Wigg standing from his chair and gathering his belongings. He was already on the rail when we saw a {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board and Alexandre Reard at with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} in front of him.

Wigg's fellow countryman Martin Jacobson told us Reard opened from late position, Wigg three-bet all-in with ace-jack from the blinds and Reard obviously called.

Kevin Vandersmissen Some Chips

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Ilan Boujenah on day 1
Ilan Boujenah on day 1

Kevin Vandersmissen is having a bad day as his stack plummets. It's not as bad as Max Heinzelmann's day though as he busted a short while ago.

The big damage to Vandermissen's stack was done by Ilan Boujenah who told us about the hand:

"He [Vandermissen] flatted tens and I squeezed with ace-king. He back-shoved and I called."

Thorel's Overeagerness Costs Him Action

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Jean Noel Thorel's overeagerness has possibly just cost him some action from at least one player.

Thorel opened to 5,000 in early position and after a couple of players folded, Vladimir Troyanovski three-bet to 13,000. More players folded until the action was on Timothy Reilly in the big blind, he checked his cards but before he could act Thorel four-bet an additional 35,000 chips!

"With that I think I fold!" quipped Reilly, and it was Troyanovski's turn to act. He studied Thorel for 20-30 seconds before folding.

Picking on the Wrong guy, Reilly

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Vladimir Troyanovski on day 1
Vladimir Troyanovski on day 1

Timothy Reilly is having a profitable day although he did drop back a little after trying to bluff the bigger-stacked Vladimir Troyanovski.

The flop was showing {4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Troyanovski check-called a 10,500 bet to see the {a-Spades} turn. He checked to let Reilly have another stab with a 22,000 bet which he also called.

Both players checked the {7-Spades} river and Reilly could only muster {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Troyanovski took the pot with his {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Ladouceur Doubles Up but is Still Short

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Marc-Andre Ladouceur has just doubled up through Ghassan El Hoss but he is still short on chips here in the High Roller.

El Hoss opened to 5,300 from under the gun and the action folded all the way around to Ladouceur in the big blind and he shoved for 11,700 in total. El Hoss called and the cards were opened.

El Hoss: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Ladouceur: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Ladouceur took the lead on a {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop and he eventually improved to a flush as the turn and river were the {9-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} respectively to double him up.
