Mikolaitis Takes From Kim

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The flop read {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} with about 5,000 in the middle and Dominykas Mikolaitis checked from the big blind and Gab Yong Kim sat under the gun. He fired a bet of 2,500 and Mikolaitis called.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and both players checked. They also checked on the {7-Diamonds} river and Mikolaitis won the pot after he showed {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Reard Continues Where He Left Off

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexandre Reard, winner of the €2,200 EPT National High Roller
Alexandre Reard, winner of the €2,200 EPT National High Roller

Yesterday night, Alexandre Reard shipped the €2,200 EPT National High Roller for a career-best of €342,810. The Frenchman is showing no sign of winner's fatigue yet as he just strongarmed two opponents out of a pot to win another hand.

On the turn, the board read {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} and Reard bet 12,500. Tom-Aksel Bedell folded the cutoff, but Silma Macalou called with relative ease on the button.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Reard slid a stack of T-5,000 chips forward, enough to cover Macalou. Grimacing, Macalou folded after twenty seconds to leave the pot to Reard.

Mihai Manole
Mihai Manole

Mihai Manole was the first player awarded a Platinum Pass, back in 2017 when the PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold'em Championship was first announced. He's back in action in the Czech capital in 2019, and he's looking to walk away with another Pass for 2020.

Read a feature on Manole's efforts plus his reflection on the odd circumstances around his first win, here on PokerNews.
