In and Out and Back In for Berko

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Scott Berko re-entered and sat down on a table with George Demetriou, who explained how he was eliminated after a roller coaster start into Day 1c. Demetriou had flopped two pair with queen-seven suited but Marius Gicovanu rivered the superior two pair.

Berko then suddenly appeared in the secondary tournament area and had lost the second bullet with two pair against the straight of Demetriou.

Kassouf Jams Up Stack

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Heads-up to the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop with 6,000 in the middle, Will Kassouf on the button raised a bet from 3,000 to 9,500. His opponent made it 22,000 to go and Kassouf then went all-in with the words "okay, I gamble, if you have it you have it."

No snap-call followed as Kassouf's jam for 143,000 sent his opponent into the think tank.

"Ah, you don't have it then," Kassouf added in table chat. He ended up forcing a fold and was shown the {9-Hearts}.

Kassouf won his entry in the satellite earlier today and has already doubled the stack.

Pana Chips Up

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Claudiu Pana is one of many Romanians that made it to Madrid for the tournament as the 888poker LIVE festival has become a fixture in his home country in the previous few years, and the next stop will be in Bucharest at the end of March.

Pana faced a raise to 1,000 and a flat-call, prompting his raise to 4,000 in the cutoff. Once two opponents called, the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop was checked to Pana and he continued for 7,000 to scoop the pot.

Some Post Dinner Counts

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Claudio Coelho spent the two levels before the dinner break on the feature table and was since swapped back. The initial start a few minutes into Day 1c had been great and Coelho managed to maintain his stack since. Just now he bet a four-way turn of {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for 4,000 and that won the pot.
