Please Stand By

There has been an unscheduled break in the action. We have no information at the moment but we'll keep you updated on what's happening as soon as we know.

Cainelli Not Well-y

Luca Cainelli is in some serious trouble.

It folded around to him in the small blind and he raised to 85,000, but Ilkka Tahkokallio in the big blind reraised enough to put him in. Cainelli thought about it for some minutes but eventually folded, leaving himself with just 380,000.

Joh Mamma

Carsten Joh found himself in a race for his tournament life when he risked his last 396,000 with {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Stefan Huber was looking to knock him out with {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}.

Flop: {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} - Joh picked up a flush draw and runner-runner straight draw to go with his two over cards and took the statistical lead in the hand.

Turn: {7-Spades} - A total brick for Joh, and he loses the {9-Hearts} as an out.

River: {Q-Clubs} - With his many draws on the flop, it was the simple overpair that would save Joh, but we're sure he didn't really care how he got there as long as he doubled up. Joh's on 828,000 now. Huber is down to 1.45 million.

Nathwani at Triple a Million

Ketul Nathwani raised from the button to 68,000 and then Marcel Koller reraised from the big blind to 145,000. Nathwani made the call.

The two players saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Koller fired 170,000. After a minute or so went by, Nathwani raised to 400,000 and Koller snap-folded his hand. Nathwani moved to three million chips while Koller dropped to 840,000.

AAAinsworth

Jude Ainsworth opened to 67,000 and got three-bet yet again, this time by Kevin MacPhee, who made it a small 134,000. Jude wasn't going to fold again. Instead, he swiftly moved all in for 563,000 on top. MacPhee looked him up and didn't like what he saw.

Showdown
Ainsworth: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
MacPhee: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

The flop was a safe {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, but the {2-Diamonds} on the turn gave MacPhee four extra straight outs. They weren't enough, however, and the {8-Diamonds} on the river gave Ainsworth a double up. He's now got 1.3 million, more than enough to be a threat to the table. MacPhee has fallen to 1.8 million.

Kastner Nearing Two Million

Norman Kastner raised from under the gun to 54,000. Lennart Holz flat-called from the next seat and then Marko Neumann reraised from the button to 160,000. Kastner four-bet to 257,000 when action got back to him and Holz folded. Neumann made the call in position.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} and Kastner fired 285,000. Neumann folded and dropped to 1.025 million. Kastner moved up to nearly two million.

Break from Breaking

Blinds have gone up even though there wasn't a break. Since they started the first level of the day with less than an hour to go, Thomas Kremzer asked the players if they wanted a break or not, and it was decided just to move on to the next level. They'll take a 15-minute break in another 75 minutes.

Level: 24

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 3,000

Joao Barbosa Eliminated in 22nd Place (€23,500)

Joao Barbosa and Iikka Tahkokallio limped and checked their respective blinds to see a {6-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} flop. Barbosa bet out a mere 35,000; Tahkokallio called and they saw the turn.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and now Barbosa bet out 75,000. Tahkokallio made it 175,000, Barbosa went all in and Tahkokallio called.

Barbosa: {K-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Tahkokallio: {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

River: {K-Diamonds}

The king wasn't enough to beat Tahkokallio's two pair, and the EPT Warsaw winner will not be doing the double this time.
