Adeniya Closing in on a Million

Martins Adeniya is closing in on a seven-figure stack after rivering the nuts versus Gereon Sowa.

Adeniya raised from under the gun and was called by Sowa and Mick Graydon in the blinds. The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Adeniya's 32,000 c-bet was only checked called by Sowa.

Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} turn to see the {10-Spades} river. Sowa checked again and called the Brit's polarising 102,000 bet. Sowa soon found out which pole Adeniya was at as he tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for the nut straight.

Lewis Sends Taberham Back To Australia

Simon Taberham, the lone Aussie to make it to Day 3, just fell at the hands of Toby Lewis.

Lewis opened to 20,000 on the button and Taberham shoved from the big blind for about 100,000. Lewis called with {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, racing with Taberham's {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The board ran out {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds} to give Lewis a full house and eliminate Taberham.

Lucky You!

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

David Lichentin picked up pocket aces and was only too happy to get it in against a short-stacked Jean Yves Malherbe and his {a-}{7-}.

He wasn't happy in the end, however, as Malherbe found a way to turn that seven into a straight to double through him.

Ludo Gets Some Back

Ludovic Lacay comes from the Dario Minieri school of aggression. Even when he has a big stack, you can never be sure that he'll still have it by the ends of the day. He lost a pot to Martins Adeniya earlier than saw his stack dip from 900,000 to 800,000 (roughly), and from there it looked as if the wheels were coming off as his stack shrunk and shrunk.

He just put a stop to the rot when he got Oliver Rogez off a hand on the river. We picked up the action on the turn when the board read {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Rogez led for 42,000 from the big blind and called when Lacay raised to 119,000 from the button.

The river came {a-Hearts} and Rogez checked to face a 110,000 bet. He tank-folded and showed the {k-Hearts}.

Kool Cash

Bruno Lopes on Day 2
Bruno Lopes on Day 2

French Rap Mogul Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes is out of the EPT Deauville Main Event.

He finally shipped the last of his chips in with {a-}{k-}, but PokerStars.fr qualifier Antonio Guerrero looked him up with pocket tens.

Needless to say, the tens held.
