Sadness for Tristan

[user46392]

We just arrived to see all the cards laid out on the table, but we would guess that the chips went in preflop.

Tristan Clemencon: all in with {A-?}

Javier Dominguez Gomez: {A-?}

Board:

Ouch. Clemencon made a small and very French sound in disgust and took his leave, leaving behind a signed copy of Barry Greenstein's Ace on the River, presumably won yesterday.

Francesco Venturi opened for 3,000 with just 18,000 behind, only to give it up when Benny Spindler shoved and Dmitry Stelmak called. Venturi banged the table as the board was dealt and later revealed that he'd folded {A-?}

A handshake later and the emo kid was gone.

Schoenberg Freerolls To Victory

[user76023]

Erica Schoenberg raised preflop to 3,000 and flat-called a 3-bet of 7,700 from the Alessio Nardone in the blinds with about 28,000 behind.

The flop was {Q-Spades}

and Nardone open-shoved with Schoenberg quickly calling for her stack.

Nardone showed {K-Clubs}

but Schoenberg was freerolling the royal flush draw with {K-Hearts}

. The

was a blank but the {4-Hearts}

river made Schoenberg's flush to double her up to around 75,000.

Charette and Charette Alike

[user46392]

Mario Alberton raised, Simon Charette reraised, Alberton shoved and Charette called. All of this happened relatively quickly.

It was a clinical affair.

Alberton: {A-Hearts}

Charette:

Check Out Table 15

[user46392]

With a field this rich in poker talent and TV-friendly faces, there were always going to be a good few interesting tables, but this one takes the proverbial biscuit today.

Seat 2: EPT Warsaw finalist Oleksandr Vaserfirer
Seat 4: EPT Prague finalist Andrew Chen
Seat 6: serial do-weller Joe Serock
Seat 8: EPT Warsaw runner up Alfio Battisti
Seat 9: some guy called Luca Pagano

Bad Timing For Keiner

[user76023]

Michael Keiner must have loved to get his meagre 12,000 in three-way with {K-Hearts}

except he managed to run into {A-Diamonds}

of Anton Wigg but more importantly, the {A-Hearts}

of Damien Rony.

The board came {6-Clubs}

and Keiner departed laughing at his own fate as Rony nearly tripled up.

Downfall of Dario

[user76023]

Dario Minieri has been eliminated after a crucial pot did not go his way. Minieri had button raised and it had been defended by the big blind Matteo Andrea Grimaldi.

The board had got to the turn of the {9-Hearts}
