Ivgi Loses to Messina

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Teresa Gutierrez Ramos limped the cutoff and what followed was a raise to 2,000 by Renato Messina on the button, a call from the small blind and Kfir Ivgi in the big blind. They checked the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and the small blind check-called a bet of 5,000 by Ivgi while Gutierrez Ramos folded and Messina also called.

On the {9-Clubs} river, only Messina called a bet of 15,000 by Ivgi who revealed the {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Messina had that beat with the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a straight to scoop the pot.

103 Entries in the €2,200 High Roller

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

The second-biggest €2,200 High Roller in the history of the 888poker LIVE festival has emerged as the remaining two levels and break on Day 2 boosted the field size from 76 entries to 103 entries. Two years ago at the Casino Barcelona, the very same tournament attracted 113 entries and it was Maria Lampropulos that defeated Alberto Flores Trujillo to scoop the top prize of €54,112.

Only 38 players remain in level 16 with an average stack of 45 big blinds and it will be a long night to reach the final table, and if possible, play down to a champion. The 888poker ambassadors Daria Feshchenko and Sofia Lovgren sit next to each other on a table that also includes Tom-Aksel Bedell and Sonny Franco.

Furthermore still in contention to earn a share of the €195,700 prize pool are Marcin Jaworski, Jon Gurrutxaga, Daniyar Aubakirov, and Andrei Nodea. Martin Jacobson battles with fellow 888poker ambassador Dominik Nitsche on the same table while three Brits are one table over in Chris Moorman, Charlie Combes and Carl Shaw.

Shortly after, Macesovic raised to 1,200 and Amit Aroch came along. Macesovic bet the {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and recovered the chips she previously lost.

Ivan Castro Ortega was the initial raiser and the small blind check-raised a flop of {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop to 4,000, which Castro Ortega called. The {j-Hearts} turn was checked and the {5-Hearts} fell on the river. The small blind checked and a hefty bet of 18,100 by Castro Ortega won the pot.

Soon after on the same table, Carmen Zainescu opened to 1,300 from under the gun and was called by the cutoff, the small blind and Elena Litvinyuk in the big blind. Only Litvinyuk check-called a bet of 2,300 on the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop and then led the {6-Diamonds} turn for 3,000, which Zainescu called.

Popov Eliminated by Tolstenko

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Andrey Tolstenko three-bet and picked up a caller in Eduard Popov, who then proceeded to call down bets on the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop and {9-Spades} turn. Popov then got it in after the {10-Diamonds} river only to find his ace-ten for two pair no good, as Tolstenko had {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} for top set.
