Dario Minieri's ever-changing stack is back up at 20,000 -- well at least it was a minute ago when I counted it. Knowing him, he could be busted or at 50,000 by now!
Frenchman Pascal Perrault gets his aces to hold up against kings in a pre-flop coup and moves up to 17,000. Pascal is one of many players searching for an elusive second EPT title.
Nicolas "The Hat" Levi
A player moved all in and when asked for a count, the dealer glanced at the stack and answered 5,450. Nicolas Levi piped up, stating correctly that the dealer should accurately count the stack. The stack had lots of 25s and the dealer patiently counted them all and the total was...5,450. Round 1 to the dealer and Nicolas stood up and tipped his hat in response.
In the first hand of Level 6 play, Roland De Wolfe added to his chip stack and sent a player home at the same town. De Wolfe raised to 900 from early position and action folded around to the small blind who moved all in. It was about 3,100 total and De Wolfe made the call. The players showed:
De Wolfe:
Opponent:
The community cards gave De Wolfe the winning hand when they came . De Wolfe played it cool as he casually stacked the pot. He is now working with a chip stack of over 20,000.
Peter Roche bets 2,600 last to act on a board. His opponent then raised to 10,600. This was most of Peter's stack but he made the call anyway expecting a chop but his opponent was on a stone cold bluff with and Peter's brought him a chunky pot to bring him up to 29,000.
Roland De Wolfe
Roland De Wolfe calls a player's all-in on a ten-high flop, expecting to be behind by the look on his face. They both have Q-10 and no surprise backdoor flushes means they chop it up. Roland on 18,000 at the moment and wearing his lucky T-shirt.
Julian Thew
EPT Baden winner Julian Thew will have to wait until Monte Carlo to try and become the first two-time EPT winner as his up and down day is over.
