Wright Makes A Big Fold; Fancies His Chances In This Event

Marc Wright is very confident of taking down this tournament if his chat on the rail is anything to go by. He had opened in the cutoff and [Removed:284] three-bet from the big blind to 175,000. Wright then confirmed the bet before four-betting to 286,000. [Removed:287] called and it was off to the {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop.

[Removed:287] lead into Wright with a bet of 175,000 and the Brit instantly called and the dealer put out the {7-Hearts} turn. No sooner had it hit the felt [Removed:287] had moved all in for 1,800,000 and Wright did not seem happy at all. He was rocking in his chair, re-checking his cards and huffing and puffing before eventually letting his hand go.

[Removed:287] claimed to have nines whilst Wright spoke to his friends on the rail where he said if the field was tougher he would have cold but the remaining field is so soft (in his opinion not ours) that he factored that into his decision.

Eric Vuissoz Eliminated In 11th Place (€38,000)

Eric Vuissoz has been eliminated from the EPT Berlin after running into Andrew Chen.

Although the action took place at the feature table we managed to find out Vuissoz was all-in with {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Chen pocket queens. The board ran out {6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and with that Vuissoz head to the rail in 11th place.

Big Double for Buddiga

From the hijack seat, Valdimir Geshkenbein raised to 62,000. Next up was Pratyush Buddiga in the cutoff seat and he three-bet to 156,000. Geshkenbein wanted to see a flop and made the call.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Geshkenbein checked. Buddiga fifed 133,000 and Geshkenbein check-raised to an even 300,000. After a couple minutes of thought, Buddiga reraised to 470,000. Geshkenbein took a few moments, then shoved all in. Buddiga quickly called holding the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Geshkenbein held trip kings as well, but with a weaker kicker. He had the {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and helped Geshkenbein by giving him a flush draw. The river was the {A-Diamonds}, though, and not what he needed. Buddiga filled up to win the hand. He was all in for 1.233 million on the flop and doubled to just under 2.9 million. Geshkenbein was left with just 360,000.

Doubles and Ownership

Vladimir Geshkenbein managed to get some of those lost chips back from the same guy that took them off him.

He open shoved for 425,000 from under the gun with {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and was only called by Pratyush Buddiga in the next seat, holding {8-Clubs}[8d. The board ran {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Geshkenbein gave a hopeful looking expression on the flop and then said something like, "Boomshaklaka" when the turn made his flush.

The very next hand Geshkenbein called a 68,000 raise from Davidi Kitai and a 69,000 c-bet on the {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop. Both players checked the {k-Diamonds} turn before Geshkenbein led for a bet on the river. Snap call.

Geshkenbein said, "Nice hand" and opened {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a missed straight draw. Then Kitai opened what he had called with: {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}! That prompted Geshkenbein to say, "Oh wow, nice call!"

Geshkenbein and Wright Battling

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

From the button, Vladimir Geshkenbein raised to 60,000. Marc Wright called from the big blind and the flop came down {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Wright checked and Geshkenbein bet 70,000. Wright called.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and both players checked. They also checked the {3-Hearts} river card. Wright showed the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and beat Geshkenbein's {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

On the next hand, Geshkenbein opened again, this time to 62,000. Wright called from the small blind and then checked the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop. Geshkenbein checked behind to see the {7-Diamonds} land on the turn. Wright fired 78,000 and Geshkenbein called.

The river was the {6-Spades} and Wright fired 128,000. Geshkenbein called and Wright turned over the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Geshkenbein nodded his head and mucked his hand before sending over the chips to Wright.

Two Pair for Geshkenbein

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Vladimir Geshkenbein raised to 62,000 from the hijack seat and Jordi Riba Corrons three-bet to 150,000 from the big blind. Geshkenbein called and the flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn was also checked after the {A-Spades} fell and then the dealer landed the {8-Hearts} out on the river. Corrons and Geshkenbein both checked.

"Two pair," said Geshkenbein before showing the {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Corrons showed the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and lost the hand.
