Coren Beats Seven High

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Mads Wissing: nice try
Mads Wissing: nice try

EPT London title-holder Vicky Coren played a blind-on-blind pot against Mads Wissing (he was the small blind) which ended up with a gung-ho river bluff from the Dane on a board of {J-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}. He bet out 2,100 and Coren raised him to 6,200. He frowned but finally showed her the mighty {7-}{4-} offsuit and gave up the pot.

"I did beat seven high," Coren confirmed, mucking and scooping.

Ace High Fine for Liu

Xuan Liu
Xuan Liu

Xuan Liu (small blind) had bet out on the {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and Alexander Roumeliotis (big blind) had called before we arrived; when got there the {9-Diamonds} turn had been dealt and Liu was betting out 975. Roumeliotis raised to 3,025 and after a bit of a pause, Liu called.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and this time both players checked. Neither player wanted to turn their cards over; Roumeliotis actually went to open-muck before thinking better of it and turning over {k-}{2-}, just in case. Liu had him just pipped with {a-}{3-} though, and is now up to 45,000. Roumeliotis is down to 21,000.

Golser Valle Bets Quads!

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Markus Golser
Markus Golser

A surprised Markus Golser prised over 10,000 from opponent Martin Valle having flopped quad aces just now. The turn gave the board a double pair: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Golser bet out 2,800 more (we missed who bet the flop). Valle instacalled and saw the pretty irrelevant {6-Clubs} river.

Now Golser checked out his remaining 18,000 and then bet 6,200 of it. Again he was pretty much snapped by button Valle who showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to Golser's {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

"It's not a flop you'd think you'd get a lot of money off," admitted Golser (stacking 37,500 total).

Tobias Peters, good-humoured Dutch tank-tapper helpfully added, "He doesn't play queens like this!"

Preflop Power from Big Per?

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Per Linde got his way preflop (possibly) after a bunch of raise-re-raise posturing from the rest of the table. Victoria Coren started it off with a raise to 500, called by Ben Vinson. Linde then repopped it to 2,000, and the button called this threebet. Coren passed, but Vinson slowly counted out another raise - 5,700.

Showing not the faintest surprise or worry (as is usual), Linde calmly moved his whole 30,000 in, and was rewarded with two quick passes and some showdown-less chips.

Galen Gets a Scare

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

PCA Champion Galen Hall just survived a bit of a scare, all in with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} against {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} with the board coming {7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}...but the river was the {7-Hearts} and instead he picked up a small increse in his stack.
