Vicky Takes a Hint

Vicky Coren raised to 600 from early position, and the big blind called.

Flop: {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Diamonds} - The big blind checked, Coren bet an even 1,000, and her opponent made the call.

Turn: {8-Hearts} - The big blind checked again, and Coren checked behind.

River: {6-Diamonds} - The big blind bet out 2,000. Vicky looked like she was about to muck when her opponent decided to get chatty. "I have a pair of eights," he said. "Really? A pair of eights?" asked Coren. "I was going to call, but I can't beat that." She folded, and her opponent showed {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights. Oh yeah, and the nut flush.

Kang Gets Rivered

Benjamin Kang really, really liked his {K-?} {J-?} when the flop came {A-?} {Q-?} {10-?}. The turn was brick, and he kept building the pot. But he hit the brakes when another {10-?} peeled off on the river. Kang check-called a bet to see that his opponent's pocket queens had indeed rivered a boat. Kang missed out on the sizable pot, but he's still over starting stack with around 34,000.

The turn card added another club to the board with the {7-Clubs}. Portal's opponent fired 2,200 and she went into the tank for about a minute. Eventually, she mucked her hand and was left with just 17,300 in her stack.

Chartier's Opponent Rivers Two Pair

Sam Chartier
Sam Chartier
With about 3,300 chips in the middle and a final board of {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Sam Chartier fired 1,500 out of his stack of about 21,000. His opponent then put in a raised to 4,100 and this sent Chartier into the tank. After a couple of minutes, Chartier announced a call.

His opponent hesitated, but tabled the {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} as Chartier waited to see his hand. Chartier then reached to his stack and grabbed the amount he owed before mucking his hand and handing over the chips as he wasn't able to beat his opponent's rivered two pair.

Bansi Takes One from Neuville

On the turn, the board read {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} between Pierre Neuville and Praz Bansi. Neuville was first to act and checked over to Bansi, who bet 300. Neuville made the call.

The river brought the {3-Diamonds} and Neuville checked again. Bansi moved to his chips quickly and fired 800. Neuville folded, allowing Bansi to rake in the pot and move up to 31,500. Neuville slipped to 38,100.

Anyone Fancy a Massage?

The EPT massage girls are a delightful circuit fixture, brightening the day of countless poker players who find sitting at a table and playing cards all day terribly stressful. But be warned! The ladies offering their muscle manipulation services in the tournament room today are wearing shirts branded with the rather worrying legend, "NECK ATTACK". Book one of them at your peril...
