Dresch for Success

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jeffrey Hakim
Jeffrey Hakim

Jeffrey Hakim is the latest casualty on the killing, sorry, tournament floor, having been outflipped by EPT stalwart Daniel Drescher. Drescher was a pretty small stack at the start of the hand too, but is now a little more comfortable on 80,000 or so.

Hakim: {10-}{10-}
Drescher: {q-}{j-}

Board: {q-}{k-}{5-}{a-}{k-}

What Have We Adeniya?

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Martins Adeniya has put his foot well and truly on the gas in the last half hour and now finds himself with 240,000 chips in his arsenal.

Most of his recent winnings have come from pots that have ended before even seeing a flop, the latest saw Thibaud Zeien raise to 4,000 from under the gun, two players fold and Adeniya made it 10,700 to play. Everyone folded out, including the initial raiser, leaving Adeniya to add even more chips to his stack.

Will anyone stand up to him?

Fatima Not in Aeneid of Chips

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Virgilio Di Cicco opened to 3,800 in the hijack and Fatima Moreira de Melo called in the cutoff to see a {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop; Di Cicco bet out another 7,300 at this point, and again de Melo called.

They both checked the {9-Clubs} turn and proceeded directly to the {6-Clubs} river. Di Cicco checked again, but this time de Melo bet 12,500. It was enough to push the Italian off the pot, and de Melo is up to 165,000.

Simply Se Bast

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Sebastian Ruthenberg
Sebastian Ruthenberg

Bodo Sbrzesny opened preflop to 3,200 and Team PokerStars Pro Sebastian Ruthenberg flat-called from the hijack to see a {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop where Sbrzesny continued the aggression with a 2,600 bet.

Ruthenberg called and the {a-Diamonds} was an interesting turn card, indicating all sorts of possible scenarios. Sbrzesny checked however, and Ruthenberg slid out a bet of 5,800. Sbrzesny no longer looked too interested in the hand, content to let the chips be pushed across to the other side of the table.

Pantaleo Got Off on Wrong Foot

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Giuseppe Pantaleo
Giuseppe Pantaleo

Giuseppe Pantaleo open-shoved for just 16,000 or so from the button - around 10 big blinds. In the big blind, Yann Dion giggled and tanked, and eventually called.

"I don't want to show my hand," Dion announced sheepishly.

"You can fold," urged Pantaleo. But they both turned their cards over, and although Pantaleo was ahead, Dion was live, and a moment later the EPT Barcelona finalist was gone.

Pantaleo: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Dion: {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Board: {j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Henke Backs Into Nut Flush

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Vladimir Geshkenbein is back down under the 200,000 chip barrier after losing out to Ramin Henke in a big three-bet pot.

On a board reading {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} Henke checked, Geshkenbein then bet 27,000 into the 32,000 pot and after just over a minute Henke made the call. The river brought the {9-Clubs} into play and against Henke checked but he missed out on some value as Geshkenbein checked behind.

Geshkenbein:{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Henke:{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and the win

Henke rises to 210,000 chips whilst Geshkenbein drops to 196,000

Guerra Warfare

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Christian Fabri opened to 3,500 preflop before Marc Ladouceur 3-bet to 8,800 next to him. Maurizio Guerra then pushed all-in for 9,600, Fabri passed and Ladouceur sighed and called before being very surprised to be ahead.

Ladouceur: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Guerra: Errr...{7-Spades}{4-Spades}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Guerra's cold 4-bet shove with no fold equity somehow worked out for him, he has about 26,000 now.
