A Look In On the Champ and Others

The powers that be have decided that if Mohsin Charania is going to defend his EPT Grand Final title he's going to have to do it the hard way. That's because he's sat with Liv Boreee, David Sands, Byron Kaverman, John O'Shea and Andrew Lichtenberger. The table is still intact despite reservations shown by some of the table at the beginning of play.

He did manage to win a pot off Sands before he was involved in the very next hand that went to Lichtenberger.

Sands opened to 500 and Charania called from the small blind en route to a flop. Sands continued for 750 and Charania check-called before leading for 1,650 on the turn. Sands took his time and folded.

The next hand saw Elie El Feghali limp from under the gun and Kaverman raise to 725 from the hijack. Charania called from the button before Lichtenberger raised to 2,500. His raise got no respect as all three opponents called to the flop.

Lichtenberger continued for 3,100 and only El Feghali called. The turn came and Lichtenberger bet 5,600. Call. El Feghali had 24,000 chips remaining by the time he saw the river fall and Lichtenberger set him in for the lot. He folded.
