The Hungarian steamroller can't win them all. Panagiotis Gavriulidis raised to 6,700 from the cutoff and Balazs Botond made it 17,000 from the big blind, the Greek player called to see an flop.
Botond bet 19,700 and Gavriulidis made it 53,000 but the Hungarian responded with a three-bet to 90,000. Gavriulidis tanked for two minutes before moving all in and Botond snap-folded.
Gavriulidis jumped out of his chair and slammed on the table with a cry, he loudly celebrated and high-fived a couple of friends including Konstantinos Nanos.
A very funny hand played out that resulted in a double-up for Giuseppe Biancoviso, and had Ramin Hajiyev in hysterics at its conclusion.
Hajiyev opened from mid position and was called by Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo in the hijack and Giuseppe Biancoviso in the big blind. The flop fell and Biancoviso led for 19,000 and only Sordo called to the turn.
Biancoviso went for the old check-raise manoeuvre. Sordo bet 17,200 and called when the Italian bumped it up to 43,000. The river came and Biancoviso checked to face an all-in shove from Sordo. This prompted lots of Italian styles gesturing and antics like it was the hardest decision in the world.
Two minutes went past and Biancoviso called all-in for his last 90,000 with for a straight that he hit with a gutshot on the river. Sordo only had .
Hajiyev said through his laughter, "You hit a gutshot and you take that long to call?"
Earlier in this level there was some confusion as to whether or not Luca Antinori, accidentally or otherwise, took some 500 chips from the player to his direct right, Jose Severino. The tournament director had to stand in and she took back half of the chips and gave them to Severino. Now Antinori has won them back and more besides.
The eccentric, for want of a better word, Italian was in the big blind ad Severino in the small blind and the duo entered a preflop raising war that resulted in the former being all in and at risk holding to the of Severino. The Big Slick too the lead on a flop and when the turn and river were the and respectively Antinori, who has had a couple of warnings about his conduct, doubled up past 230,000 chips.
Tobias Reinkemeier has been eliminated Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo in another funny hand involving the Mexican.
We missed the action but Ramin Hajiyev kindly filled us in on the action. The final board read and Reinkemeier had out in front of him, no good against his opponents .
Sordo raised pre and called a three-bet out of position. Reinkemeier continued on the flop and called a check-raise before Sordo open shoved the turn. Reinkemeier called all-in and that didn’t work out so well for him.
David Vamplew didn't start Day 3 too brightly but he is back doing what he does best — accumulating chips.
The action folded around the former EPT London champion and he min-raised, as most players do nowadays, to 6,000. This bet was called in two spots, first Alexander Khizhnyak called on the button and Carmelo Carlo Graziano felt compelled to put in the extra 3,000 from the big blind.
A flop reading was greeted with a check from Graziano, a continuation bet of 9,500 from Vamplew and a quick fold from the Russian on the button, but Graziano was having a good, long think about what was the best course of action to take. You see, the Italian only had 31,700 chips behind so if he was calling he was going to be committed to the hand. He eventually realised this and let his hand go.
Antonio Buonanno made a great call for his tournament life in a hand against Benas Molis. He opened from the hijack and the Lithuanian defended his big blind. The flop came and Molis led for 10,000. Call.
The turn fell and Molis check-raised all-in. Buonanno was the player at risk with 101,500 and he tabled for top pair. Molis opened for a pair and a gutshot that failed to come in on the river.
