Three-Way All In

At one of the final four tables three players were all in. Unfortunately for the other players in the tournament hoping to lose a few players and move up a the pay scale there was no such luck. The short stack doubled up, the second player took a side pot keeping him in the tournament and the third player had them both covered in chips and has now taken a hit to his stack.

Ben Callinan Eliminated in 26th Place

Marc Karam (Canada) is on a rush. He just sent Ben Callinan (UK) to the rail. With a short stack Callinan moved all in with {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Karam called with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The flop was {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Callinan flopped top pair but still trailed. The turn was {8-Diamonds} and the river was the {A-Hearts}. Callinan headed to the rail and won €26,550 for 26th place.

More Sit 'n Go Madness

PokerNews has been informed that after we left the floor last night following the first of the €20,000 Sit' n Go tourneys, the fellas went at it quite a few more times. A total of three €20,000 SNGs were played with essentially the same group of players including Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Johnny Lodden, Haralabos Voulgaris, and a number of European and Norwegian internet pros. Following the third of the €20,000 SNGs, the guys played one last SNG, this time for €40,000.

To check out a report as well as footage of the SNG shennanigans, check out the EPT Day 3 Recap in our Video Gallery.
