Not a Good Way to Bust

Christian Togsverd has taken care of Dan Djorno after the latter picked a very bad spot to move in.

Togsverd raised from the button and Djorno defended his big blind to see a {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. Both players checked to the {a-Diamonds} turn where Togsverd bet 12,100 when the action was checked to him again. Djorno check-raised all-in for 43,000 and was called pretty quickly.

The Frenchman tabled {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}, way behind to the Dane's {a-Spades}{3-Spades}. The river came {3-Clubs} and off Djorno trundled off.

Zero to Hero

American Mohsin Charania started the day with just 52,900 in chips, but somehow, someway he weaved his way into the money and now has the kind of stack that makes one think a deep run is possible.

He did have it up to 550k before losing more than one-hundred grand with eights against queens.

But appeared to turn things around rather quickly, making it 13,500 pre-flop the very next hand and getting one caller in the big blind before pushing him off the {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop with a 12k continuation bet.

Dempsey Can't Find a Flushy, Departs

James Dempsey's French adventure has come to an end. He open shoved for around 100,000 from the hijack and was called by Christian Togsverd on the button.

Dempsey: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Togsverd: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

The Brit turned the world but failed to find one of the outs of the river. This is only Dempsey's second EPT cash but expect him to be back for many more cracks at the EPT whip as he searches for the triple crown. He was very upbeat despite his loss as Foie Gras is on the menu again tonight.

Musical Chairs

Martins Adeniya sat down in his seat the second the dealer began tossing cards around the table.

Unfortunately, the dealer didn't quite catch that, and decided to declare his hand dead, since French gaming laws dictate players must be in their seats before the first card at the table is dealt.

Adeniya asked for the floor and since the floor person had seen him sit down in time, he was able to play. In the end, it folded around to him on the button and he made it 12k.

Rob Stain called from the big blind and the two went heads-up to a {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, where Adeniya fired out a 15k C-Bet. Stain called again and Adeniya bet again on the {3-Diamonds} turn, making it 32k.

Stain called, but both players checked the {2-Diamonds} river. Adeniya turned over {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, Stain mucked and a pot that almost wasn't, was suddenly Adeniya's.

Graydon Takes a Hit

Dubliner Mick Graydon's stack has taken a hit after he lost a race to double up Karim Lehoussine.

Denis Cheremisin opened to 13,000 before Graydon three-bet to 33,000 and Lehoussine moved all-in for 126,500. Cheremisin folded but Graydon made the call.

Graydon: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Lehoussine: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Lehoussine celebrated by double fisting in the air.

Another Break

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

They say we'll be playing two more levels after this 20-minute break, but we think the next level could be the last of the day.
