Not a happy start to the level for Marcin Horecki. The Team PokerStars Pro bet 10,000 on the river of a board before Juan Jose Chavez messily moved all-in.
He covered the Pole who had 13,000 back, and he made the call all-in with for a set. The Mexican tabled for a flop top pair that backed into the nut flush. Horecki wasn't happy about the situation but could do nothing more than leave.
Below are a couple more players that recently busted as well.
Thanks to Arnaud Mattern, we learned that Martins Adeniya had three-bet William Dorey a moment ago, then fired on two streets before surrendering his bluff. Dorey won the pot with ace-high. Just moments later, we picked up the action as Adeniya was three-betting the Brit once again. This time, though, Dorey came back with a four-bet, and Adeniya called to see the flop.
Adeniya called bets on the flop and the turn, and Dorey fired a final bullet after the river. It looked like 9,750, and Adeniya shoved in for about 12,000 on top. Dorey made the call, but his were no good by that point. Adeniya tabled the for the flush, and he's doubled himself all the way up close to 70,000.
Finland was once known as Western Russia, and the two countries have a shared passion for aggressive poker.
Jukka Koskela took Henrique off a hand earlier on and he’s just successfully taken the Andrey Gulyy (from Russia) off a hand by getting the last word in.
Gulyy put in a four bet (we think) to 3,150 and folded to a raise to 5,000 (probably a min raise) from the Finn.
First in from the hijack seat, Martin Staszko came into the pot raising to 500. James Dempsey three-bet to 1,300 next door, but Dobromir Nikov came in with a cold four-bet to 2,300. That folded the initial raiser, but Dempsey came along to see the flop.
It rolled out , and Dempsey check-called Nikov's continuation bet of 2,525. The paired the board on the turn, and Dempsey faced another bet of 5,125. He spent a long few minutes in the tank before making the call, and the completed the board. Nikov checked behind to show down his , but it was no good. Dempsey rolled over for eights up, and that's good enough to boost his stack up over 40,000 for the first time today.
Team Arnaud Mattern opened to 525 preflop from and got called by UTG+1, Martins Adeniya on the button and big blind. The flop came and it was checked to Mattern who bet 1,125 but the big blind was the only caller to the turn. Again the big blind check-called, this time to the tune of 2,350 to see the river, this time it went check-check and Mattern turned over but he'd been rivered by his opponent's .
Roberto Romanello is on the comeback trail. He was knocked down to a low of 4,800 after his turned flush ran into an opponent's rivered full house.
Never fear as, just like when he's in a verbal spat with an opponent, Romanello never gives up. He doubled to 14,500 just now and is feeling good about life in Madrid again.
With a dry-looking flop, it was checked to Juan Jose Chavez who fired out 1,150 and JP Kelly was the only caller to the turn. Chavez fired 1,900 on the turn and again Kelly made the call to see the river where the Spaniard made a final bet of 5,000.
Kelly tanked for about 2 minutes before throwing in the call but Chavez turned over , Kelly nodded, "Yep," and mucked his hand
Sometimes, or a lot of the time, one's first instincts are correct. Dermot Blain had the look of a man who thought he should have folded, after tangling with Alex Bilokur in a blind battle.
The flop was out as and 3,200 had made it into the middle. Both players checked to the turn where the Irishman's 2,200 bet was called. The river fell and Blain checked to face a 4,700 bet.
He held his chips in his hand and shook his head as he tanked before throwing in the calling chips. The Russian opened and Blain mucked, still shaking his head.
