Mattern Pays Off El-Kher

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern has lost a little ground after paying off Martin El-Kher's river raise.

Joining the action on a {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board, Mattern fired a bet of 3,050 into El-Kher who was sat there with both fists on his forehead. He moved one of them to pick up the chips needed to call. The river was the {2-Clubs} putting four clubs on the board and Mattern bet again, this time he made it 4,200 to play. El-Kher, again with his head on his fists, sat upright, counted out some chips and bet them. 10,450 was the total bet.

Mattern riffled his chips for 25-30 seconds before exhaling loudly, pulling back his original bet and replacing it with enough chips to make the call.

Melanie Weisner raised to 700 in early position and the player in the hijack seat made the call. The flop was {9-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} and Weisner put 900 more into the pot. Her opponent made the call and the pair saw the {K-Spades} on the turn, and both players checked, as they did with the {Q-Hearts} river. At showdown Weisner won the pot with {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} and her opponent mucked his hand.

Two Tales From Table 25

  • Pierre Neuville was refusing to be pushed around. He raised to 600 from late position and was raised up to 1,200 by Jan Verstraete in the small blind. The Team PokerStars Pro put his fellow countryman to the test with a four-bet to 4,000. It did the job as Verstraete folded.
  • Jan Molby got the better of Roberto Romanello. The Welshman check-called bets of 1,200 and 2,500 on the flop and turn. The final board read {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and both players checked on the river. Molby opened {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and took the pot as Romanello mucked.

Vamplew Continues to Vroom

Soren Jensen raised to 650 in early position and David Vamplew called one seat to his immediate left. The flop was {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and Jensen made a c-bet for 900. Action on the Scot and he raised to 2,425 and waited for Jensen's next move. The Dane made the call and we moved onto the {3-Diamonds} on the turn. Jensen checked and Vamplew bet 4,050 and this time Jensen folded.

Steve O'Dwyer Takes The Chip Lead

The Lucky O'Dwyer
The Lucky O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer is sat on a stack of around 90,000 after managing to find the wonderful set over set. His set of jacks dominating his opponent's set of tens.

"I just got lucky," said O'Dwyer

Considering he always seems to be at the right end of the chip counts, we are not so sure.

Simon Ravnsbaek
Simon Ravnsbaek

Simon Ravnsbaek has soared to the towards the top of the chip counts after his cowboys held against the Big Slick of Mikael Aakecman.

We arrived at Table 23 to see the cards on their backs to discover Ravnsbaek sat under the gun with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} in front of him and Aakecman in the small blind with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} on show. By the river the board read {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the aggressive Dane, who recently finished fourth at the WPT Venice Grand Prix is now one of the frontrunners at EPT Copenhagen.
