[Removed:287] Leaking Chips

Andrew Chen raised from the button with {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} and [Removed:285] made a very loose call in the big blind with {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

He had a plan though as he led for 400,000 on the {2-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Chen had a plan for that plan though and raised to 1,000,000. [Removed:287] took the hint and folded.

Chen Feeling Flush

[Removed:284] folds his button, Andrew Chen opened from the small blind with the lowly {7-Spades}{3-Spades} and Davidi Kitai made the call with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The pair shared a flop reading {8-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Chen made a continuation bet of 125,000, a bet that Kitai called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and when Chen checked and Kitai checked behind. The {10-Spades} river completed Chen's flush and he lead out again for 235,000 and after more than two minutes thinking time Kitai made the call; but mucked when he was shown the flush.

[Removed:284] - 3rd Place

Andrew Chen raised on the button to 240,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. [Removed:284] reraised all in for 2.445 million from the big blind with the {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Chen made the call and held a dominating position to knock [Removed:287] out in third place.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Chen increased his lead with a pair of jacks. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and gave [Removed:287] a flush draw, but the {9-Diamonds} on the river wasn't the red card he was looking for.

[Removed:287] finished in third place and earned €290,000 for his finish. Davidi Kitai and Chen are now heads up.

€10,000 High Roller Update

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Moorman crushing in High Roller
Moorman crushing in High Roller

The EPT Berlin €10,000 High Roller is down to four players. Tobias Reinkemeier finished in fifth place for €46,200 and the remaining four players are guaranteed €62,700. According to the news from Twitter, Chris Moorman busted Reinkemeier with {A-}{10-} versus pocket jacks in a big, 500,000-chip pot.

The current level is 3,000/6,000/1,000 . When we just checked in, we saw the following hands go down.

Action folded to Marvin Rettenmaier in the small blind and he completed the bet. Moorman checked his option in the big blind and the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Both checked through to see the {3-Hearts} pair the board on the turn. Rettenmaier bet 7,000 and Moorman raised to 21,000. Rettenmaier called.

The {Q-Clubs} double-paired the board on the river and Rettenmaier checked. Moorman bet 36,000 and Rettenmaier tank-called. Moorman showed the {K-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a full house and Rettenmaier mucked his hand.

On the next hand, Rettenmaier raised to 13,000 from the button and Moorman three-bet to 32,000. David Peters folded from the big blind and then Rettenmaier also tossed his hand into the muck.

Following that hand, here are the updated results and chip counts:

First Three Hands

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

The heads-up players are getting a feel for how each other plays one-on-one and so far pots have been settled preflop. The first saw Chen three-bet and win the pot, the second Kitai three-bet and he took down the pot then Kitai found {A-}{Q-} and opened and Chen folded.
