Maurizio Baisi opened to 1,400 preflop and Nicklas Antonsson flat-called before Joe Cada made it 4,000 from the cutoff but both players called.
The flop was and all three players checked before Baisi led out for 4,800 on the turn, Antonsson called but Cada suddenly made it 16,200 to go with about 35,000 behind. Baisi tanked and folded but Antonsson took longer before eventually moving all-in for about 45,000 in total, snap-call from the 2009 WSOP Main Event champion.
EPT Grand Final champion Nicolas Chouity is up to 108,000. We're not sure what the other guy had, but Chouity was holding on a board which proved to be enough.
Andy Black raised to a slightly-more-than-minimum 1,250 from the cutoff and didn't get much respect - Amerigo Tiberio Santoro on the button and Nicolas Rinquin in the small blind both called, and online qualifier Quoc Nguyen in the big blind reraised to 5,600. Black gave it up pretty swiftly, but Santoro tanked for some minutes before calling. Rinquin felt the same way as Black and folded, and Nguyen and Santoro went heads up to the flop.
Flop:
Nguyen bet out 8,000 with no delay; this in contrast to Santoro who tanked up for a few minutes again before folding face up. Nguyen showed him the and is up to around 70,000.
It was an action-packed board where Agatino Spitaleri had fired out 1,400 on the flop of before Diego Testa made it 4,100. Then Kevin MacPhee check-raised to 11,700 making the action very interesting...
Spitaleri tanked for a couple of minutes before moving all-in for about 50,000 and Testa quickly folded, MacPhee re-checked his cards briefly before saying, "I call."
100,000 pot.
MacPhee:
Spitaleri:
The on the turn didn't change anything but the river gave the Italian the full house. MacPhee was left with just 200 chips and was eliminated in the next hand.
Giovanni Cantonati, who's cashed twice in this EPT season at Berlin and Copenhagen, is looking fairly unlikely to make this one his third cash - he's just been crippled. We didn't see the action, but we strongly suspect that the chips in before the flop or on it. And what a flop:
Cantonati:
Viktor Wessman:
Board:
Wessman's at 80,000 now; Cantonati is down to just 9,500.
Just as Liv Boeree was being eliminated there was an interesting hand building up on the opposite table.
It was a three-bet pot with 25,000 in the middle and the two players involved in the hand were Luigi Torquato and Umberto Pavoncelio. Torquato bet 50,000 on a flop of and Pavoncelio called the bet holding . Torquato had for the semi bluff. The turn and river didn't change the result and Pavoncelio was rewarded for making the correct but brave call.
Liv Boeree has been card dead all day long and eventually she found pocket queens with a stack of around 10,000. She moved all-in over the raise of Sandiep Ajab Sing Khosa and he made the call. She was in great shape to double up - until the dealer gave us the flop!
