Sergio Castelluccio raised to 160,000 in early position, Alex Mostafavi called in late position and the short stack Clayton Mozdzen moved all-in from the button for 730,000. Castelluccio has been quiet (physically) during this last few levels, but he sprung to life and also moved all in. Mostafavi now had the dwell time and eventually folded face-up and boy did Mozdzen not like the sight of that!
Mozdzen
Castelluccio
So two of Mozdzen's out's were lying in the muck. The Canadian came over to the rail and clutched his girlfriends hand, tightly, as the dealer dealt the flop.
Flop:
Mozdzen wasn't even looking. Eventually he released his girlfriends hand and went to look at the flop, "It's a queen, it's a queen," he said quietly to his girlfriend. The turn & river maintained Mozdzen's lead and he doubled up. He gave his girlfriend a quick kiss and headed back to sort out his new stack of around 1,500,000.
Michael Dietrich opened from second position and was only called by Alex Mostafavi. The flop came down king-high and Dietrich made a continuation bet of 120,000. Mostafavi was very predictable as he thought for a while, counted out calling chips, then raising chips before putting them back in his pile. He tapped the table and open folded pocket threes.
The next hand Clayton Mozdzen opened to 120,000 from the cut-off before Rodrigo Caprioli three-bet to 380,000 from the small blind. It was a chunky three-bet and was ending a message to the Canadian. Mozdzen read the message loud and clear as he folded.
It appears that the motivation of being on the biggest stage in Europe is having an adverse effect on the quality of the action. If you are wondering where all of the scintillating updates are, then there aren't none. If you are wondering where all of the post flop action is, there isn't any. If you are wondering where all of the three and four betting pre flop action is, well there is none of that either.
Since we went to the final table of nine, all we have had you have seen, and there has not been much of that. Let's hope things pick up - and soon - as I am pretty sure Sergio Castelluccio keeps falling to sleep behind those sunglasses of his.
Mohsin Charania raised to 160,000 in early position, Daniel Gomez three-bet to 360,000 one seat to his left and Charania flung his cards high in the air and we moved onto the next hand.
Lucille Cailly raised to 200,000 in early position and Alex Mostafavi called in the big blind. The flop was and Mostafavi did what he so often did and checked in the dark. So presented with the betting lead Cailly made it 250,000, but Mostafavi clicked it back to 500,000.
"I am all-in," said Cailly.
Mostafavi went through his usual routine at this point. He re-stacked his chips, shook his head, pondered for five minutes, tapped the felt and folded for an open ended straight draw on a monotone board and the crowd went berserk!
