Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree is back heading the right direction.
David Vamplew had raised to 2,400 UTG with calls from Marco Bognanni and Michael Bonzon before Robin Vlitalo made it 7,100 on the button. Boeree moved all in for 36,100 in the big blind and Vamplew quickly folded, Bognanni then made an incredibly quick call, Bonzon and Vlitalo folded.
Rupert Elder had a plan in a hand and god-dammit he was going to see it through.
Nicolas Chouity opened to 2,600 from the cut-off and was called by Fabrizio Leonardi, Christian Togsverd and Rupert Elder in the next three seat. All of them checked the flop before Elder led for 5,400 on the turn. Leonardi was the only caller and he also called a 16,000 bet on the river.
Elder went a little red and opened . His Italian opponent tabled whilst staring at him.
Since spiking his straight earlier to catapult himself to 155,000 chips Chris Moorman has slowly slid down the chip counts, seemingly unable to connect with the board any more. In a hand just now he opened to 2,600 from middle position, Pantagiotis Gariuldis called to Moorman's direct left and after one player folded Atanas Gueorguiev called too.
The three of them saw the dealer put out the flop, a flop that Moorman made a 5,200 continuation bet on. This folded out Gavriulidis but Gueorgiev called. The turn brought a second four into play, the , and when Moorman checked his now sole opponent checked behind.
The fifth and final community card was the and when Moorman checked Gueorgiev bet two 5,000 chips. Moorman was not prepared to make the call and he sent his card back towards the dealer.
Roberto Romanello woke up one morning and found himself second in the EPT Player of the Year contest. Now it’s the ultimate prize for the dedicated Welshman, who’s off the booze.
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.
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.
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.
