Three players made it to the flop and it checked around to Konstantin Puchkov who bet 3,000. Oreste Alessandro Faga in the big blind now check-raised all in, George Danzer in mid position got out of the way, and Puchkov made the call.
Faga: for top pair and a flush draw
Puchkov: for an overpair
Turn and river respectively: and
Faga duly busted out with a nod, and the EPT Barcelona finalist and WSOP bracelet winner raked in the pot to put him up to 50,000.
Pierre Neuville, serial EPT qualifier and all around smiley Belgian just knocked out Jens Anskohl after all the money went in on the turn of a board, Anskohl holding but Neuville sat with which stayed in front on the river.
Liv Boeree and Kevin Stani have just clashed on the Table of Death, leaving Boeree with just 10,600 to her name and Stani buoyed back up to a shade over his starting stack.
We caught it on the turn of the board with Boeree checking and Stani betting 2,500. Boeree called and they proceeded to the river. Boeree checked again and this time Stani checked behind, revealing . Boeree just mucked, prompting Stani to ask her, "You'd have called another bet on the river?"
"Probably not," Boeree replied; she admitted that she had also had an overpair to the flop (although obviously not the aces that some joker at the table suggested). Some more chip counts from the Table of Death:
Ivo Donev opened preflop to 800 before Finn Pasi Tapani Sormunen reraised to 3,000 on the button. Donev responded by moving all-in for about 26,000 covering his opponent and Sormunen tanked for several minutes before making the call with . Donev showed and it looked for all intents and purposes as though we were going to have a chop...
But wait!
The board came and Donev looked disgusted, he has lost most of his chips and is now one of the short stacks in this event.
Frenchman Manuel Bevand was just involved in a strange hand with American James Sowers over on table 14.
The action folded to Bevand in middle position and he attempted to raise to 525 but as the blinds are currently 150/300 he had to make it at least 600, which he did when he exchanged the green 25 chip for a black 100 one. First mistake.
He then didn't realise that Sowers had called in the big blind and turned over his hand but immediately put it face down again when the dealer announced there was a caller! Second mistake
"Did you see my hand?" quizzed Bevand?
"No" came the reply and both players saw a flop. Sowers lead out with a bet of 800 and Bevand instantly folded and turned over his .
Toni Ojala is up to around 60,000 after raising preflop and then calling the shove from an extremely short-stacked gentleman - around 5,000 in total. Ojala was dominated but managed to pull a flush out of thin air to bust the unfortunate gent.
A massive pot just went down over on Table 9 that resulted in Losif Beskrovny and Gaurav Law being all in on the flop.
Everyone folded to Beskrovny, who was seated in the hijack seat, and he made it 500 to play. The 2010 EPT Grand Final winner Nicolas Chouity called from the button and Law put in the couple of extra chips from the big blind.
Flop: - Law checked, Beskrovny bet 1,025, Chouity called and then Law check-raised to 6,100. Beskrovny wasted no time in moving all in for 33,400, forcing Chouity out of the pot but Law snap-called and was the player at risk.
Law: - For top set
Beskrovny: - For an open-ended straight draw with a flush draw
The turn was the and when the dealer put out the on the river the pot was awarded to Law who more than doubled up to 25,400, whilst Beskrovny slips to 24,000
A preflop raising war between Giacomo Maisto (utg+1) and Rino Mathis (big blind) was in an advanced stage when we got there - the presumably five-bet from Mathis was 7,300, and Maisto had just gone all in for 19,850. Mathis cleared his throat when the amount of the shove was ascertained. He poured himself a glass of water and stared at the felt for a while. Eventually he called.
Mathis:
Maisto:
Board:
Mathis was reduced to just 1,700, which went in from the small blind next hand to a cutoff raise from Andrzej Siemieniak. "Why didn't I look at your stack?" lamented Siemieniak with a giggle; he called anyway and was still giggling as Mathis busted out.
