Karen Sarkisyan was his opponent and set the Canadian all-in with {a-Clubs} {q-Spades} , Chan called off the rest with {a-Hearts} {7-Hearts} but couldn't catch a heart on the {3-Spades} turn or {10-Diamonds} river.

Falaschi Having Best Time in His Life

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

A deafening cry of, "YESSSSS!!!" piqued our interest; we strolled over to the table to find Luca Falaschi knocking out IPT Leaderboard winner Tamas Lendvai.

Board: {j-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {5-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}

Lendvai: {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
Falaschi: {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

TD Gerard came by to warn Falaschi about excessive celebration. "Is the best time in my life," Falaschi apologised. He's up to 150,000.

Gone Off Skript

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Almira Skripchenko has been knocked out after her last 20,000 went all in with {4-} {4-} against {a-} {q-} and the French lady lost the race.

This makes us all sad.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Erik van den Berg and Fernando Brito are going to have to wait until Madrid to try and win an EPT Main Event title. We do not know the exact details of the bust-outs but they have definitely been eliminated.

Going San-Deep

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Jean-Philippe Rohr opened to 4,700 and Sandeep Khosa shoved for around 33,000. A couple seats down Nicolas Yunis reshoved for around 125,000, prompting an epic dwell from Rohr. Eventually he folded though, and the other two were on their backs.

Khosa: {a-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}
Yunis: {a-Hearts} {a-Spades}

"F*** me," said Khosa, with feeling.

Board: {j-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {k-Spades} {j-Spades}

Khosa valiantly called for the ten that would have brought him a straight on the river, but instead it came down a jack making Yunis a full house. Yunis is up to 165,000.

Pollak Finds Kings

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Benjamin Pollak was sitting on 44,800 when he woke up with pocket kings on the button. Joe Coraci found pocket jacks in the cut-off and the result was inevitable. The kings held their ground and Pollak now has a stack to work with.
