Moseley Flops It

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Four players took a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, including Steven Warburton and Andy Moseley. The action checked to Warburton, who fired out 19,000, and only Moseley called.

The turn was the suicide king ({k-Hearts}), and Moseley checked again. Warburton flipped forward another 44,000, and Moseley called.

The {2-Spades} completed the board, Moseley knuckled a third and final time, and Warburton thought for 30 seconds or so before shaking his head and checking behind. It was a good decision, as Moseley rolled over {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a flopped flush.

"Nice hand," was all Warburton could say.

Yan Cracks Greenwood's Aces

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

A very interesting hand just played out between Sam Greenwood and [Removed:17].

Greenwood had opened to 12,000 preflop before Yan made it 33,000 behind him. Greenwood flat-called to see a flop wetter than the average London summer day.

It came {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The {2-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and Greenwood check-called a bet of 25,000 and the dealer put out the {Q-Spades} on the river. Greenwood checked again and Yan thought for a moment before checking behind.

Greenwood turned over a slowly played {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} but Yan had outdrawn him with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Still it's a curious hand which make everyone a lot more curious of Greenwood's calling range for three-bet pots.

Geilich Eliminates November Niner to Chip Up to 1.1 Million

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Mark Newhouse
Mark Newhouse

Unfortunately we missed the preflop action, and that's a shame because we're guessing it was a heck of a raising war between Ludovic Geilich and Mark Newhouse. What we do know is the latter was all in for 271,000 from the button with the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and it he'd obviously picked the wrong time as Geilich had him crushed with the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

The {2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop gave Newhouse a sweat by pairing his nine, and the cameras were there to capture the suspense. The dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}, and that meant Newhouse needed to catch a nine on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {7-Hearts}. It was a miss for Newhouse and he was sent to the outhouse.

Etayo Flops Top Set; Doubles

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Kent Roed tossed out a bet of 25,000 on a flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Javier Etayo raised to 55,000, Roed thought for a bit before re-raising to 150,000, and Etayo moved all in for 259,000. Roed snap-called.

Roed: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Etayo: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The set of nines held up as the turn and river bricked {a-Clubs}, {5-Hearts} respectively, and Etayo doubled to 565,000 chips.

Etayo has evidently played a bit snug today, because after the hand Andy Moseley said to him, "It's nice to see you're gambling with the boys, today."

The Tournament Just Got a Little Poorer

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Max Altergott
Max Altergott

With the elimination of Max Altergott the tournament just lost the EPT Grand Final Super High Roller winner from last season. Back then Altergott beat Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier heads up and took home the €1,746,400 first-place prize. Today the German pro will have to make due with a small cash in the Main Event.

Altergott moved all in preflop for just 51,000 and was called by Stefan Vagner. It looked good for Altergott until the turn made it almost impossible for him to win.

Altergott: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Vagner: {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Vagner took down this pot with quads.
