EPT Vilamoura winner Toby Lewis was reduced to chip dust when he open shoved with and was picked off by Mihai Manole holding . The completely irrelevant board was and Lewis was heading out into the Tallinn afternoon looking for something else to do. Manole on the other hand has 35,000 chips.
Cristiano Blanco and Team PokerStars Pro Sebastien Ruthenberg have just locked horns and it ended in a rather disappointing split pot.
The action folded around to Blanco in the cutoff seat and he raised it up to 800. Next to act was Ruthernberg and he three-bet to 1,900, a bet that folded out the blinds but Blanco liked his hand enough to make the call. The dealer burned a card and put out the flop, whcih saw both players check. The turn was the and again both players checked. The river was the and guess what happened? Yes, they both checked.
Chip leader Oscar Lima has lost (maybe) his first pot of the day to drop to 117,000 chips.
He called a Ke Gang 1,000-chip bet on a flop to go to the turn. Gang checked to him and called the 2,700 bet he faced.
The river came and Gang checked again and quickly called when the Spaniard fired 9,500 into the middle. Lima quickly mucked and then said, "Wow" when Gang said he had a flush.
Johan van Til has just clashed with Iceland's Runar Runarsson over on Table 8 but the Dutchman released his hand on the turn.
Van Til raised to 625 from the cutoff and only Runarsson, on the button, made the call. The flop was met with a 1,400 continuation bet from van Til, a raise to 3,000 from Runarsson and finally a call from van Til. The turn brought the into play and now the man known as "Busto Soon" checked. Runarsson quickly bet 5,025 and van Til folded face up.
Just minutes after chopping up a pot Sebastien Ruthenberg and Cristiano Blanco clashed again but this time there was no split pot, Blanco won the lot.
The chips went in preflop with Ruthenberg holding and Blanco . The board ran out queen-high and the Team PokerStars Pro was eliminated from this European Poker Tour Main Event.
Jeff Sarwer getting the better of Annette Obrestad again. He called her UTG raise when sat on the button and raised her off an flop. "I should've guessed that flop hit you", she chuckled.
"Seat open, table ten", shouted a dealer. A quick glance over that direction saw Per Linde getting up from his seat and leaving.
A short-stacked (6k) Michael Tureniec getting a much needed walk in the big blind. He has a fearsome reputation for preflop aggression so probably not best to raise him light when he only has 20 big blinds.
