Aces Fail to Pay for Sahamies

Ilari Sahamies raised and got himself two callers in the button and the big blind. They proceeded to a {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} flop which the big blind and Sahamies checked. The button bet 1,725, the big blind passed, and Sahamies called to see a turn. They both checked the {7-Clubs} turn and, indeed, the {2-Hearts} river, at which point Sahamies turned over some rather unexpected pocket aces for the flopped full house. There was much hilarity at the rail.

Mystery Hand for Torre

Jean-Mathieu Torre bet a whopping 5,000 into an already rather whopping pot on the turn of a {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} board, and his opponent sighed. "What do you have?" he asked, not really expecting an answer. "Kings?" Torre merely shrugged, and his opponent grudgingly passed the {Q-Hearts} face up. Torre now on 21,500.

Krawczynski Doubles Through Chatzimichail, Giving Blogger Incipient RSI

A full double-up for the tongue-twisting Leszek Krawczynski courtesy of the only slightly less consonant-heavy Emmanouil Chatzimichail. Chatzimichail bet a minimum 300 on the {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts} flop and got two callers, and then bet 1,000 on the {10-Clubs} turn. This time Krawczynski went all in for around 4,000, forcing the other caller to fold, but Chatzimichail made the call.

Chatzimichail: {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for two pair
Krawczynski: {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for a flush

River: {K-Spades}

Lodden Active as Ever

Any two cards, baby
Any two cards, baby
Current chip leader Johnny Lodden continues to mix it up, playing most of the hands he's dealt. He's earned varying results, but the bleary-eyed Norwegian (we've heard rumors of quite a wild night at one of the local clubs) is still sitting at the top, despite dropping a few pots in the post-dinner hour, two of them to Michal Zaremba.

On a flop of {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades}, Lodden checked from the big blind, Zaremba bet 1,200 and Lodden called. The {6-Hearts} on the turn brought checks from both players. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Lodden settled on a bet of 2,650, which Zaremba quickly called. Zaremba's {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for top pair bested Lodden's second pair with {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and he dragged the pot.

On a subsequent hand Lodden limped in, Zaremba popped it to 1,175 from the button and Lodden called. Both players checked the {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs} {4-Spades} flop. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Lodden took a stab at the pot, betting 1,750. Zaremba called. The {J-Diamonds} fell on the river and both players checked.

Zaremba turned up pocket eights, while Lodden flashed {5-Spades} {6-Spades} and mucked.

You Win Some, Lellouche Some

An early-position player made it 1,100 to go and Anthony Lellouche popped it to 2,500 from the button. The rest of the table folded around back to the initial raiser, who shoved all in and Lellouche snap-called, showing {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} to his opponent's {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}. No disaster on the board for Lellouche, who eliminated his opponent and picked up a sizeable pot.

Walk Like an Egyptian

Joseph "bigegypt" Elpayaa just played his last hand at the EPT Warsaw, ending up on the bad end of a coinflip.

The UTG player made it 900 to go, Elpayaa shipped in his remaining 6,175 from the big blind, and the UTG player called, showing pocket jacks to Elpayaa's {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. The flop was {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades}, no help for Elpayaa. Though he picked up a flush draw on the turn when it came the {10-Hearts}, the river blanked out for him with the {A-Diamonds} and he hit the rail.
