Michael Dietrich raised to 225,000 in mid-position holding
and Lucille Cailly found
in the small blind. We were expecting an all-in and call, but Cailly made a small three-bet and Dietrich folded his hand.
The 2012 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final
Sergio Castelluccio raised to 200,000 holding
in early position, Daniel Gomez moved all-in for 1,255,000 holding
in the hijack seat and, incredibly, Rodrigo Caprioli looked down to see
in the small blind and just called. Back to Castelluccio and he also called, leaving himself 360,000 behind, and we have gone from shallow promises to a three-way blockbuster of a hand to finish off the first level of play.
Flop:

Caprioli put Castelluccio all-in and he made the call.
Turn: 
Nothing changed
River: 
Castelluccio tripled up and became our chip leader while Daniel Gomez became the first player eliminated at the EPT Grand Final - Final Table.

-
Lucille Cailly raised to holding
in the hijack seat and took the blinds and antes.
Rodrigo Caprioli moved all-in holding
in the hijack seat and every player folded.

Team PokerStars Pro Victoria Coren has just joined the commentary booth and said Lucille Cailly is very much like her - except "She is thinner and blonder then me."
-
Mohsin Charania moved all-in from the small blind holding
and Clayton Mozdzen folded in the big blind.
-
Since we started play (35 hands) the statistics show that Bernard Guigon has not wona single hand since this final table started.
-
Coren wants the leak fixed above Mohsin Charania's head because she thinks it is unfair that he has to play wearing a raincoat.
Rodrigo Caprioli moved all-in from under the gun and
and everyone folded.
-
Sergio Castelluccio widens his range with a raise holding
and he took down the blinds and antes.
-
Sergio Castelluccio raised to 240,000 in the hijack seat holding
and once again took down the blinds and antes. Victoria Coren has just nearly fainted when Bernard Guigon folded
in the blinds and the James Hartigan had to give her a quick run through of the tightness of the first level.
-
Sergio Castelluccio raised to 240,000 holding
under the gun, Rodrigo Caprioli folded
on the button but the news of the hand was Mohsin Charania's towers of chips crumbling to the felt. Serves you right Mr Charania - stack them in twenties!
Bernard Guigon limped on the button holding
and Sergio Castelluccio checked in the big blind holding
. The flop was
and Guigon bet 150,000 to win the pot once checked to.
"I assume this guy limped on the button because he was going to move all-in over a shove," said Coren in the booth.
"What planet are you on?" Said James Hartigan.
Lucille Cailly raised to 250,000 in the hijack seat holding
and everybody folded, prompting her five blonde wig wearing Frenchman to cheer and whoop in the crowd.
-
Michael Dietrich moved his 10BB into the middle holding
from the cutoff and everybody folded.
Mohsin Charania is not learning! He has once again stacked his chips into ridiculous towers. He took 250,000 of them off the top and raised with pocket sevens on the button and he won the blinds and antes. Let's hope they fall once more! Twenties Charania! Twenties!
