Down But Not Saout

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante
Antoine Saout
Antoine Saout

Daniel Haglund raised to 1,300 and got a call from Antonio Maranzano before Antoine Saout shoved for his last 6,600 from the button. We're not sure whether Haglund flat-called or reraised to isolate as we were distracted briefly by action at another table, but either way when we returned Maranzano had folded and Saout and Haglund were on their backs.

Saout: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Haglund: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Board: {3-Spades} bink! {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Saout more than doubled to around 16,000, still pretty precarious with the blinds now going to 400/800/75.

Domin-ation

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

Dominykas Karmazinas moved all-in for his final 9,450 over the top of a raise from Silvio Buratti, it was passed back to Buratti, the Italian quickly calling with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against Karmazinas, who finished 3rd in Monte Caro last year. For his part, the Lithuanian turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} but was unable to spike on a board of {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Fernando Brittle

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

Fernando Brito is down to just about 15,000 after losing a skirmish with Martins Adeniya. The Portuguese player, currently leading for EPT Player of the Year, checked the turn of a {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades} board with around 13,000 already in the pot only to fold sharpish went Adeniya threw out 20,000 to set him all-in.

Five Bet By Delle Foglie

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

Atanas Gueorguiev raised under the gun to 1,400, Cristian Tardea called before Jacopo Delle Foglie three-bet making it 4,100. Action back to Gueorguiev and he four-bet to 9,800 before Tardea mucked. Delle Foglie looked at Gueorguiev once before moving all-in and standing up. We assume he was expecting the call since the four-bet was such a strong play. Gueorguiev had other ideas when he folded instantly.

No Old Foglie

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

Jacopo Delle Foglie raised to 1,700 preflop and was called by Nicolas Cardyn before Alec Torelli moved all-in from the blinds. Foglie reraised all in and Cardyn got out of the way.

Foglie: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Torelli: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Board: {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} - Torelli was sent to the rail, there's about 275 players remaining.

Roca the Boat

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

Mayu Roca check-raised Patrick Sacrispeyre all in on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts} and the French player tanked for several minutes before calling with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Roca turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for the dominating two pair, the {10-Spades} turn gave Sacrispeyre an unlikely straight and the river {4-Spades} did not change anything.

Sacrispeyre is up to about 55,000.

Confused Kelly

Level 8 : 400/800, 75 ante

We joined the board and it was as dark as the mood that Kelly found himself in by the end of the hand.

Board: {q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {k-Spades}

Kelly was on the button and his opponent was Sabato Lorenzo sitting in the big blind. There was 9,000 in the pot and Kelly had just bet 7,000 and Lorenzo was in the tank. When Lorenzo surfaced for air he made the call. The river was a fourth and scary looking club {5-Clubs}. Lorenzo snap-check-called a 17,000 Kelly bet.

"You have got it," said Kelly.

Lorenzo turned over {k-} {q-} and both cards were devoid of clubs much to the annoyance of Kelly, who was still shaking his head, a long while after he had finished re-counting his 28,000 stack.

Lorenzo ~ 75,500
