Defending Champion Getting Shorter

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante
Erick Lindgren won this event in 2013
Erick Lindgren won this event in 2013

Erick Lindgren, the defending champion of this event, called an under-the-gun raise to 400 from middle position, as did a player in the big blind. The dealer fanned {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, the action checked to the original raiser, and he continued for 650. Only Lindgren called.

Lindgren called another 1,800 on the turn ({7-Diamonds}), and an all-in bet of 6,525 on the river ({k-Clubs}). The player showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for a flush draw that turned into a pair of kings, and Lindgren mucked.

Full House for Freitez

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

When we arrived at Table 9, all of the chips were in the middle between Mark Radoja and Ivan Freitez. Radoja had {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} in front of him, Freitez {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and the board was completing {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Freitez, winner of the Season 8 EPT Grand Final Main Event, raked in the pot with a full house, and Radoja hit the rail.

Mercier Mashed; Riess Run Out

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ryan Riess busts
Ryan Riess busts

Jason Mercier raised to 1,750 out of the small blind, his neighbor reraised to 3,500, and Mercier called. The flop fell {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Mercier checked, and the player fired out 3,000. Mercier moved all in for 13,200, and the player quickly called.

Mercier: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The turn and river bricked {2-Diamonds}, {8-Clubs} respectively, and Mercier was off to the showers.

Across the room, Ryan Riess was eliminated by Eli Elezra on a flop of {a-}{7-}{2-}. Riess was in a commanding lead with {a-}{k-} against Elezra's {a-}{10-}, but the turn was a {10-}. The river was no help to the 2013 champ, and he hit the rail.

After the hand, Zo Karim said he too had {a-}{10-}.
