EPT Champ Down

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Former EPT champion, Sebastian Ruthenberg, was not able to make a comeback after being crippled before.

There was a raise to 600 before the former EPT Barcelona champion three-bet all in for around 4,000 with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The original raiser folded (pocket tens) after the big blind called with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The board ran {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} to make Broadway for the big blind. Lucky escape for the original raiser.

Hoof Let The Dogs Out

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The board read {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Jorryt van Hoof fired out a bet of 2,950. At the other end of the table Marcel Luske riffled chips on the table while he pondered his action. Ultimately, he decided to flat call.

The river brought the {K-Spades} and Hoof announced that he was all in for his last 12,400. Luske called and rolled over {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a flopped set of sevens.

Unfortunately for Luske, Hoof showed {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a king-high flush and the best hand. Hoof scooped up the chips and Luske is now left with about 22,000.

Heavy Weights Battle on the TV Table

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Betrand Grospellier
Betrand Grospellier

Last season's EPT Berlin champion, Davidi Kitai and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier battled in a really interesting pot from the TV table.

This information came to PokerNews second hand so the details are light but we do know: ElkY raised pre flop and was called by Kitai. Elky then went on to check every street of a {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board before check-rasing the river. Kitai went into the tank and open folded ten-jack only to be shown pocket nines by ElkY.

Fellow Team Pro Johnny Lodden was on comms at the time and said it was the most interesting hand he'd commentated on.

A Very Slow Set Over Set Scenario

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Denis Vladimirov opened to 1,000 in early position, [Removed:2] called on his left, Dario Minieri called in the cutoff, and Hiren Patel called out of the small blind. All four players checked when the flop fell {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}, and the turn brought the {2-Hearts}.

Patel checked, Vladimirov fired 2,200, and the action folded back to Patel, who check-raised to 8,400.

"How much?" Vladimirov instantly asked the dealer.

Once he learned the amount, the Russian moved all in for 19,850. Patel instantly called, and turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Vladimirov stood up, looked at Patel's hand, let out a long sigh, and then turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a higher set.

The {10-Hearts} completed the board, and the Russian doubled. Patel dropped down to around 24,000 chips.
