Irene Baroni is no more, no she's not died but she has lost her chips to her fellow Italian Muhamet Perati. The chips went in preflop with Baroni holding but needing some help from the board as Perati held .
That help failed to materialise as the board ran out and Baroni heads for the exits.
Three more of the Team PokerStars Pro contingent have fallen this level. Fatima Moreira de Melo, Alex Kravchenko, and Luca Pagano all lost their chips.
We only have details of the Italian's bust out. Pagano shoved with on a flop. Variance: his opponent held pocket tens.
Laurence Houghton has been knocked out, it looked like all the chips had gone in on a flop, Houghton holding against Mario Nagel's which hit a on the turn, Houghton drawing dead on the river.
Tobias Reinkemeier opened the betting to 2,000 from middle position and the next two players folded. From the cutoff Andrey Baturin called and when Melanie Weisner folded her button, Jean-Charles Depoterre put in a raise to 5,600. Only Reinkemeier called the raise and it was heads-up to the flop.
Depoterre wasted very little time in betting 6,100 and almost as quickly Reinkemeier folded.
Former EPT Snowfest champion Vladimir Geshkenbein is out, he called off his stack with against a big overbet on a flop but found himself up against Giorgio Bernasconi and the on the turn and on the river made no difference. Afterwards Geshkenbein expressed on Twitter his confusion at the big overbet saying he thought his opponent had ace-king or a flush draw.
Nobody likes being beaten, well some do but this is not that sort of blog, and it appears Gabriele Travaglini is the sort of man who hates to lose. We just saw him practically leap from his chair, pull a face like his had a mouthful of bitter lemons then slam his Skrill stressball so hard against the floor that it bounced onto the elevated stage at the far end of the room! The reason for his outburst? A cooler hand.
It appears Travaglini was in the big blind and had committed his stack with on a flop reading , as you do. Unfortunately for him Candio Goncalves had stuck around, on the button, with and flopped a boat. The turn and river completed the hand and after the chips were counted Travaglini stormed out of the room; possibly to punch something....hard.
