There was a raise to 4,000 from under the gun and his raise started off a whole lot of action!
First Maxin Panyak, seated to Romanovskyi's direct left, made the call, then Said Chichba called two to his left. Hakan Dalokay folded and the action was on Martin Finger. He composed himself before moving all in for 24,700 chips.
[Removed:167] was in the small blind and he re-shoved in an attempt to isolate Finger and his plan worked as the other active players folded their hands.
Ehrhardt:
Finger:
Finger was in serious danger of being sent to the rail but he must have made a sacrifice to the Poker Gods this morning as the board ran out gifting Finger the most unlikely of straights and he now has a workable 53,000 stack.
Erik Cajelais check-raised Andrey Shatilov from 4,300 to 10,500 on a flop of , the Russian did not seem completely sure what to do but eventually opted to just flat-call.
Cajelais then led out for 18,000 - astute viewers might have noticed the very slightest bit of trembling fingers. Shatilov took a deep breath himself and elected this time to fold.
Royal Flush Girl Sonia Yasmin Ali is certainly not just a pretty face; and Marvin Rettenmaier has many talents outside of poker. The two take some time out from the WPT Merit Cyprus Classic to perform an acoustic cover of Emeli Sande's 'Next to Me'.
Salim Fakih has just been sent to the rail by [Removed:2]. The latter had opened from the cutoff and then called when Fakih, on the button, moved all-in for around 20,000.
Maksoud showed and found himself up against the lowly and when the board ran out it was game over for Fakih.
Andrey Shatilov fired out a bet of 95,000 after Chino Rheem checked the flop. The button folded but Rheem made the call to see the turn which both players checked.
Rheem led out for 23,000 on the river, it looked as though Shatilov was going to fold but suddenly he declared, "Call." Rheem flipped and the Russian silently mucked his hand.
