Former EPT Champion Zimnan Ziyard has been given a one-round penalty after exposing his cards out of turn.
During the last round, Ziyard opened to 10,500 preflop before Massimo Di Cicco raised all in for 42,500. The action went over to big blind Joseph Mouawad who was protecting his cards, but before he could act Ziyard folded out of turn.
Mouawad now announced call but unsuccessfully raced his against Di Cicco's when the board came .
The floor ruled that Ziyard's action had changed what occurred and that Mouawad would have been unlikely to call if there was a player still to act behind him. As a result Ziyard got a one-round penalty, despite protestations from the EPT Loutraki champion that he should only get a warning.
...mainly because he's just been eliminated in a rather brutal way.
Kevin Miannay was all in preflop with against [Removed:4]' in what looked to be a blind on blind battle. The flop was but the on the turn put Rudelitz ahead while still giving Miannay numerous outs. The river wasn't one of them though and Miannay disappointingly left the table.
Mathew Frankland is back up to 300,000 thanks to a superb call in a hand involving Ahmed Abd El Fatah.
El Fatah opened to 10,000 in the cutoff and then called when Frankland three-bet to 27,000 from the big blind. Frankland then lead for 19,000 on an all-club flop. El Fatah called and the dealer placed the onto the turn.
Frankland now checked and watched on as El Fatah bet 30,000 into him. The young Brit called and it was off to the turn. Frankland checked again and El Fatah bet again, making it what looked like 45,000 and Frankland called.
The second Frankland's chips hit the felt, El Fatah mucked. As he did, Frankland showed the and raked in the sizeable pot.
Gordon Huntly has chipped back up over the 500,000-chip mark following a hand in which he managed to claim the last of Andriy Lyubovetskiy's chips.
That hand saw Lyubovetskiy all in on the turn holding , good for top pair with the board showing . Alas for the Ukrainian, Huntly had for two pair, and after the river Lyubovetskiy was out in 94th.
"He'd been reraising me with queen-three" said Huntly to the table afterwards with a shrug, an indication of his thinking at having gotten involved before the flop.
Timothy Reilly is down to 90,000 chips after running pocket queens into pocket aces.
The action folded to him in the cut-off and he raised to 11,000 before James Bills three-bet to 24,000. The action was back on Reilly and he clicked it to 48,000 and called the 170,000 shove that was quick in coming from the Australian.
