Level: 19

Ante: 1,000

Bevand Another One's Down, and Another One's Down, Another One Bites the Dust

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Marius Heiene and Chaz Chattha
Marius Heiene and Chaz Chattha

This time it's Chaz Chattha heading to the payout area while Manuel Bevand rises to a towering 750,000.

So often the two players in the blinds can play out a snowball of a pot, and this was no exception. Small blind Chattha had a stack of 100k over the line on a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and must have check-raised big blind Bevand. Bevand, however, wasn't going anywhere - and there was, out of the blue, a huge showdown:

Bevand: {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Chattha: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The turn and river came {8-Spades}{4-Hearts} and with a handshake Chattha's gone.

Monfort the Win!

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ronan Monfort
Ronan Monfort

Under the gun perma-shortstack Ronan Monfort just shipped it in (95k) under the gun and sat back to wait and see if anyone called. It folded round to small blind Roberto Romanello, who thought briefly before re-raising all in to get rid of the big blind.

Romanello: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Monfort: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Board: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Monfort goes from reporting on the action to being in the thick of it.

Hollink Gives Kipnis a Taste of His Own Medicine

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The ever-popular Rob Hollink has just added more than 100,000 chips to his stack by giving Denis Kipnis a taste of his own medicine.

Early today Hollink raised a Kipnis bet only for Kipnis to insta-shove over the top of it, causing Hollink to fold and see Kipnis show {q-}{10-}. But in a recent hand, Hollink didn't show is cards but still won a nice pot.

Hollink opened the betting with a 23,000 bet from the cutoff and only Kipnis in the big blind called. The flop of {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} was met with a check from Kipnis, a 34,000 bet from Hollink and a quick check-raise to 80,000 from Kipnis. Hollink instantly moved all in and just as quickly, Kipnis folded

Lakhitov Kiril'd

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mikhail Lakhitov open-shoved from the cutoff with {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and got looked up by Kiril Zahariev in the big blind holding {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}. First card out of the deck was a king, and Lakhitov gets €10,000 while Zahariev ploughs on with 360,000.

Losev Wins

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Some poor luck for Marius Heiene as he found pocket {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} right at the same time that Nikolay Losev woke up with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The chips went in, Heiene busted out, and Losev is now flying high on 870,000.

Prydryk Busted By Cold Deck

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Rob Hollink
Rob Hollink

Another hand, another elimination, this time Ruslan Prydryk is the man heading for the rail, all thanks to Dutchman Rob Hollink.

From under the gun Hollink made it 23,000 to play, his standard raise during this level and something he has been doing a lot too may I add. Despite him being very active the entire table folded around to Prydryk in the small blind, who took a second peek of his hole cards and moved all in for a total of 116,000 chips.

Liviu Ignat sat riffling chips for over a minute as if he was going to call, though he does this every single hand anyway, before he folded, leaving Hollink to announce he was calling.

Hollink: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Prydryk: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop missed both players but Hollink picked up a gutshot straight draw to go with his two overcards. The turn was the {j-Hearts}, completing Hollink's straight and rendering the {4-Clubs} on the river meaningless.

With that the tournament is down to 44 players and Mr Hollink finds himself with a healthy stack of around 700,000

Marc of Cain

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Salvatore Bonavena
Salvatore Bonavena

Short-stacked for some time, Marc Gork finally kicked the tournament bucket with {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} against Salvatore Bonavena's {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Sal Bon is at a roughly average 400,000. The 2008 EPT Prague champion has come close to a second title before - 11th at Monte Carlo last season was his next best EPT result - and he looks very comfortable as the money starts to get really interesting.
