Nein Nine for Cainelli

A steep drop into the danger zone for Luca Cainelli, who found himself almost all in on the turn in bad shape indeed, with {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} vs. the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} of Fabrizio Gonzalez. There was a third trey on board: {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Spades} and with no Nine on the river Gonzalez doubled to 400,000.

You would be forgiven for thinking that the reason his last 30,500 went all in the next hand was desperation/tilt, but in fact he had a miraculous pair of Queens! Both blinds ended up calling his shove and checking down the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} board, at which point the big blind hurled his hand into the muck and the small blind (Gonzalez again) showed a losing {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Cainelli survives, for now.

Incidentally, the muck-hurl was deemed against the rules by the floor as both players have to show down at the end vs. an all-in. Gonzales got rather hot under the collar and shouted at Thomas Kremser about how this wasn't allowed, and it was ruled that he was correct. His irritation seems to have overcome the double up joy he must have experienced last hand.

They are Dropping Like Flies

Here is a brief update on the latest eliminations at EPT Vienna.

Elimination 1 - Markus Herbel

Sergii Baranov opened from the cut-off and Herbel shoved before Baranov called. Baranov had {a-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and Herbel had him dominated with {a-Diamonds} {q-Clubs}. The flop changed things however as Baranov hit his ten {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} turn and river were no help to Herbel turn {9-Hearts} river {j-Spades}.

Baranov ~352,000

Elimination 2 - Peter Kamaras

Kamaras opened to 17,000 from early position and Ramin Hajiyev called on the button. Team Pokerstars Pro Martin Hruby also called from the Small Blind. The flop was {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} and everyone checked. The turn was {9-Spades} and Hruby led out for 32,500. Action over to Kamaras who three-bet to 81,500 and Hajiyev shoved before Hruby folded. Kamaras made the call. Kamaras had {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} for a turned set and Hajiyev had {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for the straight.

"Pair the board!" Shouted Kamaras. It didn't pair the board and Kamaras left the bulding after a friendly hand shake and good luck gesture to the rest of the plkayers on his table.

Elimination 3 - Cengiz Can Ulusu

We are not sure how the money went in but Antonio Buonanno won the hand when his pocket Kings beat the {a-Hearts} {j-Hearts} of Ulusu.

Buonanno - 880,000

Angel Falls to Negreanu

Angel Guillen
Angel Guillen

Hot Team PokerStars Pro on Team PokerStars Pro action, as Angel Guillen open-shoved for 117,000 and it folded right around to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind, who made the call.

Guillen: {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Negreanu: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Negreanu had been dominating anyway, but the {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts} board could not have been more decisive. The Team PokerStars Pro: Mexico headed for the rail, while the Canadian is now at 1.2 million, with no-one else even near the million mark.

Many Sided Tournament

During the break, a large number of people in the Kursalon were still playing tournament poker. Multiple side events are now running all day long, with a wide variety of game and buy-in. Today is especially stocked with alternative events, as a 3,000 Heads Up tournament is now running alongside the second day of the €2,000 No Limit Hold'em and the €1,000 Pot Limit Omaha.

Coming up later will be another stab at a €1,000 NL and also a €1,000 8-game tournament. The evening will be finished off with a €300 Turbo event for those who can't bear to be off the felt for more than a couple of hours.

Players in that category include Fatima Moreira de Melo, Roberto Romanello, John Eames, ElkY and Jan Skampa (all still in the €2k) and Markus Golser, Pieter de Korver and Marcel Luske (going deep in the Omaha).

The heads up first round seems to be over already but we'll try to keep an eye open for the one-on-one winner later today.
