Danilyuk Eliminates Guerfi

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

PokerStars Qualifier Andrey Danilyuk has just eliminated [Removed:146] in a pre flop encounter. We are nit sure of the sequence of the action but Guerfi was holding pocket jacks and Danilyuk was holding pocket aces. The board changed nothing, Guerfi was gone and Danilyuk was left cuddling a 55,000 stack.

Large Hadron Collado

Jan Collado
Jan Collado

Jan Collado is our new chip leader with 110,000 after winning a pot that I can only describe as stonking.

The board was reading {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Georgios Yiangou fired out 2,750. Jan Collado raised to 7,000 and then Tiobor Janos Nagygyoergy cold called this raise. Yiangou also called to see the {3-Spades} turn, ostensibly a blank and Yiangou fiddled with his chips before checking again.

Collado now bet 11,000 and Nagygyoergy folded but Yiangou refused to budge, calling with a little under 20,000 remaining, The river was the {Q-Clubs} and Yiangou checked again and his German opponent set him all-in, Yiangou tanked and then called off his stack with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} but Collado flipped {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the nut flush to eliminate him.

Vanessa Rousso Is Out

Rousso will have better days.
Rousso will have better days.

Vanessa Rousso's extremely frustrating day has just ended here at EPT Loutraki.

She was down to 6,000 when she moved all-in over a raise with pocket nines. The player to her left woke up with pocket jacks and that was that. We don't think Greece has seen the last of Rousso as she is normally active in the side events which begin tomorrow.

Paul Knebel Moves Towards The Top

Paul Knebel has over 80,000 chips and we just saw him eliminate Boyan Asenov in a family pot.

There were four players in the hand when Boyan Asenov moved all in for around 2,000. All players called and five people shared a 10,000 pot. The hand was checked down until we reached the turn on a board of {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} {4-Clubs} {10-Spades} and Knebel bet 1,100 and two players called. The final card was the {5-Hearts} and everyone checked. Knebel showed {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for the winning hand and Asenov mucked his cards unseen before leaving the building.

Smoked Herring

Heath Herring
Heath Herring

It's the end of the road for Sarah Grant's better half Heath Herring.

Herring was knocked down to about 18,000 after he isolated an UTG limper with a raise to 1,100 but his opponent reraised to 2,600. Herring called but then folded {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} face up to a 5,200 bet on the {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop.

A couple of hands later Herring got his remaining chips in with {A-}{K-} against the same player only to find he was up against {K-}{K-}, an aceless board later and the MMA fighter was gone.
