Volpe's Hand Holds Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Paul Volpe opened to 2,100 in middle position, Jackie Glazier called on his direct left, and Antonio Lafosse moved all in for around 20,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Volpe, who reached for all of his blue T5,000 chips, isolating Lafosse, and Glazier folded.

Volpe: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Lafosse: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Volpe's dominating hand held up as the flop, turn, and river came {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Lafosse was eliminated.

Puccini Chips Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mario Puccini, former EPT Berlin fourth place finisher, just pulled a nice trick out of his hat on the river. The board read {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} when Puccini checked to his Carl Carlsson who bet 6,200. Puccini threw in a large pile of blue chips covering Carlsson who had to decide for his final 22,000 chips.

After a while Carlsson folded and Puccini chipped up to around 100,000. Carlsson was eliminated shortly after this hand.

Marchin' Out of Here

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Marcin Horecki has been knocked out after he lost a three-way pot worth 135,000.

Horecki was all in on a {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop with {A-Hearts}{3-} against a short stack's {7-}{4-} and another player's {5-}{5-}. The board bricked and the Polish Team PokerStars Pro, who finished third in this event back in Season 5, was made to head to the rail.

Another Double For Blom

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Viktor Blom's brother David has had quite an exciting start so far as he just managed to double up again. After a raise to 2,200 it was Olof Haglund who three-bet to 5,800. The action was then folded to Blom in the small blind who four-bet to 12,000.

The initial raiser folded and Haglund tanked for quite a while before making it 25,600. Blom quickly moved all in for 57,600 and Haglund reluctantly called.

Haglund: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Blom: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Blom secured another double up and that puts him in a very good position going forward. Meanwhile Haglund, who finished third in EPT London last March for £427,564, was left behind with less than 10 big blinds.
