Back To The Start

Pat Dillon lost a couple of pots early but is now back around where he started the day. We came to his table on the river with a board showing {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Dillon in the hand with two opponents.

Dillon was first to act and led for 10,100 which was about half the pot. One player quickly got away, while the other tank-called. When Dillon turned over his {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, the two pair was enough to send his opponent's cards into the muck and take down the hand.

Tureniec Gets Away

EPT Copenhagen winner Michael Tureniec had started the day off with some profit but just lost most of it in an interesting pot. The Swede raised to 2,100 from early position and he got two callers. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} and after the big blind checked, Tureniec bet 3,600 and he got called by the opponent who was in position.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and Tureniec opted to check-call the 4,800 bet. On the river the fourth spade appeared when the {8-Spades} popped up. Tureniec checked again and his opponent tanked for a good minute. Then he checked and said, "I got the queen high flush". Tureniec re-checked his cards and mucked as his opponent turned over {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. Dominik Nitsche seemed amazed by this play and pulled out some weird looks as he was staring at the board. The table remained silent as Tureniec re-counted his stack which came down to 42,000.

We don't know what Tureniec had but his losses were held to a minimum in this hand.

Battle of the Ladies

We came to Melanie Weisner's table with a {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop being dealt and Weisner in the hand against Busra Kaluntakasuwun. Weisner led for 3,100 and Kaluntakasuwun then popped it to 8,100. A call from Weisner saw the {j-Clubs} hit the turn.

Weisner again check-called on the turn, this time when Kaluntakasuwun bet 9,000. The {6-Clubs} completed the board and Weisner again checked and so too did her opponent.

Kaluntakasuwun opened up her {a-}{q-}, not good enough for Weisner's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} as a pot was raked Weisner's way.

Dwan Versus Brammer Versus Koon

Table 40 is a mine field of talent with Tom Dwan, Chris Brammer, and Jason Koon all sat down.

Dwan, one of the best cash game players in the world, just took on and lost to Brammer, currently ranked number one on Pocket Fives for MTTs.

The pot seemed to have been three-bet pre flop and the two were heads-up to a {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop. Dwan checked from the small blind and called when Brammer bet 10,500 from mid position. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and Dwan checked again. Brammer took his time, the whole while been stared down by Dwan, before he bet 20,500. Call.

The river brought the {4-Clubs} and both players checked quickly. "You check?" asked Dwan, seemingly surprised by the speed of the check behind by Brammer, who had now opened {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Dwan mucked.

Tran Beats Von Kriegenbergh

JC Tran, Taylor von Kriegenbergh and Tom Grigg were seated at table 6 for the first couple of hands. Their table was one of the first to break, but still Tran managed to get a nice profit.

On a {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board Tran had bet 13,500 from the big blind into a pot worth around 22,000. Von Kriegenbergh was two to his left and pondered for a long time but eventually gave it up. Tran took down the pot and started the day with a win.

Gill Gets There

Oliver Gill started the day off with a nice win. He raised under the gun to 2,200 and the player on the button called. The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Gill fired 2,500 into his opponent who made the call.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and now Gill opted to check. His opponent bet 2,000 and Gill decided to check-raise to 5,100 leaving himself with around 14,000 behind. Once more his opponent didn't fold and the river was the {10-Hearts}. Gill now put in 8,000 chips and risking most of his chips in the first level of the day. After tanking for quite some time his opponent called and Gill showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for the winning full house.
