Little Takes Salter's Little Stack
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jack Salter opened the button for 6,400 with about 56,000 behind and Jonathan Little in the small blind pushed at least 150,000 forward, enough to put both Benjamin Pollak in the big blind and Jack Salter all in.
Pollak folded and the decision was on Salter. The EPT Grand Final and WSOP APAC runner up informed himself how much Pollak was playing. The Frenchman told Salter he had about 90,000 - so Little effectively risked 30 big blinds making his move.
Salter thought for just a bit more before calling. He got the bad news soon enough as Little showed 
while Salter had just 
.
After the 
on the flop Salter asked for a chop by yelling out that exact word. He did it again after the 
hit the turn, but to no avail; the 
on the river was a blank and Salter hit the rail.

Kanit Can’t Commit
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
The hand started with Mustapha Kanit raising to 6,000 from under the gun plus one. Francois Billard then bumped it up to 16,500 from the small blind and was called once the big blind got out of the way.
The flop of 
saw Billard bet 14,400 and get called before the 
fell on the turn.
Billard paused for a moment before moving all in for around 120,000 in chips. The bet had Kanit covered, who only had 57,000 in chips behind.
He thought for a minute before finally mucking his hand as Billard raked in the pot.

The Story of James Hartigan's First EPT
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
EPT Live commentator James Hartigan told us the story of his first EPT, which was during the first season in Deauville. Interestingly enough Hartigan didn't do commentary on his first EPT, but he actually played in it.
Some Chip Counts from Around the Room
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
These are visual chip counts, we didn't actually ask the players how much they were playing. So these are rough estimates, sometimes complicated by players stacking huge towers instead of the de facto of 20-chip high stacks.
