Ersoy Gets Some Chips Back

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Serkan Ersoy had quickly chipped up and lost the profit even faster to drop well below the starting stack. Just now he lost a pot to Gary Miller when the latter had turned trips kings with {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and both battled again soon after.

In a battle big blind versus button, Ersoy check-called a bet of 1,000 on the {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} turn and led the {7-Diamonds} river for 6,200. Miller called and mucked when Ersoy tabled the {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for two pair.

Buky Nearly Doubles Stack Already

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The first player to bust happened to be over on table four and it was Robert Buky that dealt the final blow.

Buky had faced a raise to 2,000 and a call to make it 8,000 to go and his table neighbor moved all in for 16,500. The cold-caller folded and Buky quickly called to find his {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} well ahead of {k-Spades}{q-Spades}.

On a board of {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, the kicker played and Buky's ace-king high won the big pot.

Assoted Counts

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Mohammed Sohel was the next player to bust and Kastriot Shytani may very well suffer the same fate as he doubled a short stack who had flopped trips and rivered a full house to be left with crumbs.

Ersoy On the Rise

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Serkan Ersoy has been involved in the vast majority of the pots and especially Gary Miller joked that he would simply bet the flop and rake in the chips without resistance.

In one of the latest hands, Miller had called a raise to 600 and Ersoy jammed the small blind. Richard Watts in the big blind was stunned at first and folded after short consideration, as did the initial raiser and Miller.
