Levi's Big Move Doesn't Pay Off

Katja Svendsen
Katja Svendsen
Nicolas Levi limped in from early position and Katja Svendsen raised to 11,000. It was folded back to Levi who made a large raise and Svendson moved in for approximately 70K which Levi was pot-committed to call.

{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for Levi
{A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for Svendsen

A {K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop gave the Danish lady a bit of a scare but the {Q-Clubs} and {7-Spades} came on turn and river and she moves her stack up to the dizzy heights of 150,000.

Pascal Perrault has moved to a new table directly beside his very envious French counterpart Thomas Fougeron.

Shane Reihill won't be happy to see another Irishman join his table in the form of WSOP bracelet winner Alan Smurfit.

De Wolfe and Moneymaker Mixing It Up

PokerStars-sponsored player Chris Moneymaker has just been moved directly to the right of Roland de Wolfe and it does not take the two very long to tangle. With 21,000 already in the pot, de Wolfe bets 13,000 on a board of {J-Spades}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

Moneymaker dwells for some time and then calls. De Wolfe shows
{J-Spades}{9-Spades} and Moneymaker folds saying, "I had a pair". De Wolfe is now over 65,000 and above the average for the first time in a very, very long while.

Carlo Citrone takes a big hit

Carlo Citrone
Carlo Citrone
Blind on Blind action.

Citrone raised from the small blind and the big blind moved in for roughly 25,000. Carlo gave his opponent a stare-down that would have made Mike Tyson plead for mercy before he eventually made a good call with {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and found himself in a race situation against {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The {Q-Spades} popped up on the flop and Citrone is pretty disgusted to have been forced to take a race and lose against such a weak hand.
