Posting Up

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Arian Ghofrani Far opened to 20,000 on the button, Freerk Post three-bet to 48,000 from the small blind, and Far called.

The flop fell {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Post led out for 33,000, and Far made the call.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, Post opted to check, and Far fired 42,000. Post tanked for quite some time, then called.

The {6-Spades} completed the board, and both players checked. Far showed {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of eights, which Post had beat with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens.

Cabrera: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and Hall was eliminated.

Joentausta Busts Voth

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Ronny Voth was all in for his last 145,000 before the flop and Aku Joentausta snapped him off.

Joentausta: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Voth: {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

The board fell {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} and Voth was unable to best Joentausta's ace-king. Voth, a live satellite winner who finished Day 1a as the chip leader, has turned his satellite win into a terrific run in this Main Event.

With this win, Joentausta is now sitting on 1.2 million.

A Barouk Symphony

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Catching up with the action on a board of {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, we saw Phillippe Barouk move all in for his last 98,000 into a pot of over 180,000. Anaras Alekberovas called and the cards were tabled.

Barouk: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Alekberovas: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Barouk was ahead heading to the river and stayed that way when the {4-Spades} finished off the board. He was able to scoop up the double up while Alekberovas has fallen to 740,000 in chips.

Liv Free or Die Hard

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Liv Boeree (Day 3) Eliminated
Liv Boeree (Day 3) Eliminated

Team Pro Liv Boeree has been eliminated from play.

Boeree's downfall began when she opened to 20,000 from early position. Natalie Hof, from the next seat over, shipped all in for 154,000 total. Action folded back around to Boeree who snapped her off.

Boeree: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Hof: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The flop brought {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Boeree would need to improve on the subsequent streets to send Hof packing. The {3-Spades} on the turn did not do it and neither did the {Q-Diamonds} that completed the board. Boeree was forced to ship a majority of her stack over to Hof, leaving herself with only slightly above 30,000.

Two hands later, Boeree shipped all in for 29,000 from under the gun. Action trickled all of the way around to Kevin Stani in the big blind who called.

Boeree: {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Stani: {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Boeree was the favorite heading to the flop but suddenly fell behind when Stani paired up as it fell {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The {2-Diamonds} came on the turn and Boeree needed to pair up on the river to stay alive.

Fifth street was the {A-Clubs} and the Team Pro was officially eliminated from play.

Schleps and Becker Bounced

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Florian Schleps and Boris Becker have been eliminated from the EPT Berlin Main Event with unknown action. Becker commanded the shortest stack entering the day, and was playing on the feature table. We unfortunately have very limited access to that area, and even less time to kick back and enjoy the fruits of EPT Live.

Pratyush Buddiga (Day 3) doubles twice
Pratyush Buddiga (Day 3) doubles twice

Artur Rudziankov opened to 20,000 from under the gun, Pratyush Buddiga moved all in for 154,000 from the cutoff, and the action folded back to Rudziankov, who called.

Rudziankov: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Buddiga: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The flop fell {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, prompting Buddiga to scrunch his face, but the American held as the turn and river came {6-Hearts}, {4-Spades} respectively.

Buddiga doubled to 310,000 chips, while Rudziankov dropped down to 230,000.

Buddiga opened to 20,000 in late position, and Pascal Vos three-bet to 52,000 on the button. Buddiga four-bet shoved for 309,000, and Vos made the call.

Buddiga: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Vos: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop fell {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}, forcing Buddiga to try and dodge a flush once again, and he did so when the turn and river blanked {q-Clubs}, and {8-Diamonds}. After doubling twice, Buddiga now sits with around 620,000 chips. Vos dropped down to 800,000.

Guden's Coach Camp

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

There was an open to 20,000, Khien Nguyen three-bet to 43,000 on the button, and Yasar Guden cold-called in the small blind. The original raiser called as well, and the flop fell {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. The action checked to Nguyen, who continued for 58,000, and only Guden called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, Guden led out for 133,000, and Nguyen tanked for over 90 seconds before calling.

The {2-Clubs} completed the board, Guden led again - this time for 275,000 - and Nguyen tank-folded.
