Brits Do Battle

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jamie Roberts led out for 2,225 on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and fellow Brit and Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody called.

The turn was the {k-Clubs}, Roberts fired out another 3,675, and Cody again called.

The river brought the {7-Hearts}, and Roberts emptied the clip, firing a third and final bullet worth 7,300. Cody tanked for well over a minute, then finally pushed his cards away from his chips.

Baker Slips

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

David "Bakes" Baker bet 850 on a board of {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and his opponent, Dhru Patel, called.

The {a-Hearts} completed the board, Baker quickly checked, and Patel tossed out 1,500. Baker called, then mucked when Patel showed {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

Bakes is still trending up, as he's won a few pots since we last checked in.

All the Portuguese Players are Out

Well, not quite. But four out of the ten that are playing today have already been eliminated.

Team PokerStars Pro Joao Nunes lasted precisely two hands while high stakes player Michel Dattani, former EPT Champion Joao Barbosa and Diogo Filipe de Melo Cardoso have all been knocked out.

Team Pro Henrique Pinho is doing decidedly better, he's up to about 55,000 at the moment.

Diaz Done

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Martin Diaz was faced with an all-in bet of roughly 8,300 on a board of {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Ryan Spittles had him well covered, and sat quite still as Diaz decided whether or not to risk his tournament life. Diaz eventually called, turning over {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and Spittles showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for an overpair of aces.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board, and Diaz hit the rail. Spittles is up to around 70,000 chips.

Jorgensen, who struggled out of the gate today, is back up near the starting stack of 30,000.

Tureniec Heading the Wrong Way

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Michael Tureniec
Michael Tureniec

Michael Tureniec is a stalwart member of the EPT, turning up and running deep more often that not with one EPT title already to his name. He's not had things go his way so far here though, Tureniec check-called a bet of 1,800 on the turn of a {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board against Yngve Steen.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Tureniec checked to Steen, the latter betting 4,700. This was too much for Tureniec who quickly folded, leaving himself 26,000.

Leo Margets - Eliminated
Leo Margets - Eliminated

After a raise and a call from Dhru Patel, Leo Margets three-bet to 3,000 from out of the small blind. The original raiser folded, and Patel called on the button.

The dealer fanned {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Margets checked, and Patel fired out 7,050. Margets check-raised all in for what looked like 20,000 or so, and Patel snap-called.

Margets: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Patel: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The turn and river came {j-Hearts}, {2-Diamonds} respectively, and the Team PokerStars Pro hit the rail.
