Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken

Team PokerStars Pro Noah Boeken has been eliminated by his teammate Victor Ramdin in an all in preflop altercation. Boeken reshoving {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} straight into Ramdin's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} but found himself staying second best when the board came {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Maceiras Slides on Big Slick

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Maria Maceiras
Maria Maceiras

Maria Maceiras, who has done stirling grinding today, finds herself back on a short stack (45,000) being moved tables after doubling up Bernard Vu with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} vs. his {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The micropair doubled his microstack and leaves her with less than half the average chips as she heads away from the table she's been on all day.

"Good luck," said her neighbours.

"I'll need it," she replied.

Palovic Is Shown the Bluff

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Dag Palovic
Dag Palovic

Online qualifier Mathieu Thiry opened to 5,200 and Dag Palovic in the hijack and the gentleman in the small blind both called, before the big blind made it 19,000 to go. Palovic was the only caller.

The big blind gentleman bet out 18,000 on the {3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop and Palovic snap-called; he bet out another 28,000 on the {q-Spades} turn and again the Team PokerStars Pro laconically dropped the call across the line without a moment's pause. They saw a {5-Hearts} river and this time they both checked.

"Show me the bluff!" said Palovic - and duly his opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Palovic flipped {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and took the pot. "I was calling at the end because of TV," said the cheerful Palovic, "If you push I call."

Palovic is now very comfortable on 280,000.

More Chips, More Points for Brito

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Fernando Brito
Fernando Brito

Fernando Brito, now unbeatable in the race for EPT Player of the Year, could well be adding some extra unnecessary points to his record - he's just doubled up to 240,000 with only 40 places or so to go until the money.

There was a raise to 5,000 before Brito made it 15,000. His opponent re-popped to 40,000, Brito shipped for 118,000, and his opponent called.

Brito: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Gentleman Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Making His Marc

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante

Marc Colome Oliveras has doubled up his 59,300 stack with Alvaro Velasco his beneficiary. Oliveras had reraised all in with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} against Velasco's {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and the board came out {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Velasco remains over the 100,000 mark but now so does Oliveras...
