Here Comes Moseley

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It’s long been said that some of the best poker players are the ones fans have never heard of, the men and women who opt to grind cash games out of the public spotlight. One such player is Andy Moseley, twenty-something high-stakes pro from London who regularly plays in Macau. Well, as luck would have it, Moseley is the big stack in the room sitting with 360,000.

"Just been chipping up," Moseley said when asked how he amassed such an impressive stack. He then explained earlier in the day he won with {k-}{k-} against {q-}{q-} to get to 130,000. More recently, he won pot over 100K off Dan Smith.

Rest assured we'll be keeping an eye on Moseley moving forward.

Wigg Busts Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

'Kidpoker' himself, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated. According to him, he shoved from the small blind with {K-}{J-} andAnton Wigg called from the big with {7-}{7-}. The board came {A-}{10-}{10-}{2-}{3-} providing the Canadian with a bit of a sweat on the flop which eventually proved unfounded.

"That's the end of that," Negreanu said on his way out of the venue.

Henrique Pinho on Day 1

Henrique Pinho just woke up with pocket kings and that sent Bharminder Maker out the door. Pinho, a Portugese Team PokerStars Pro, tabled {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} in the all-in situation versus Makar who had {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Maker was knocked out. Pinho is up to around 165,000 chips and doing very well here on Day 2.

Steen Sends Rettenmaier Home

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Marvin Rettenmaier on Day 1
Marvin Rettenmaier on Day 1

Majid Iqbal raised all in under the gun plus one for 14,000 and the action was folded to Marvin Rettenmaier. The German pro moved all in from the button for 42,000 and the small blind folded right away.

Yngve Steen was seated in the big blind and he tanked for a bit before making the call.

Steen: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Rettenmaier: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Iqbal: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Rettenmaier was knocked out. Because of the ten on the river Iqbal tripled up and Steen won a little less than he could've had. The Norwegian pro is still among the chip leaders after this hand with close to 200,000 chips.

Smith Cracks Juanda's Aces in 320K Pot

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
John Juanda (Day 1b) - Eliminated in 320K pot
John Juanda (Day 1b) - Eliminated in 320K pot

According to a German colleague of ours, Dan Smith just won a 320,000-chip all-in pot against John Juanda.

We are unsure of the exact action - one of our reporters has watched Juanda fold to more than one three-bet from Smith - but the two engaged in a preflop raising war. Eventually, Juanda was all in and at risk for around 150,000 with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, and in great shape to double through Smith who had {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

The {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop was clean, and so too was the {7-Clubs} on the turn, but the {3-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give Smith threes full of tens.

"Sorry," Smith said to Juanda more than once.

The man they call "King Dan" now appears to be our chip leader thanks to the fortuitious two-outer, while Juanda is eliminated.

Juanda tweeted the following after the hand:

John JuandaAll-in preflop for 320k pot w/ AA vs 33. Flop T88...7...3. So for first time I have a losing trip in London. Still love the city though!:)

Thewrious with Himself

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Julian Thew
Julian Thew

Rasmus Vogt opened to 3,200 from middle position and was called by Robert Haigh and Ludovic Geilich before Julian Thew made it a small 8,000 on the button.

Vogt folded, Haigh called and Geilich also folded.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Haigh checked then folded to Thew's 10,000 bet.

Thew then said, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm colourblind, I meant to just call." (He'd thrown out a blue chip instead of a purple one).

Gelilich, "I wondered why the three-bet was so small."

"No problem," said Haigh, "you owned us all."
