Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Arnaud Mattern
Arnaud Mattern

With the board showing {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and about 10,000 in the middle, a short-stacked Arnaud Mattern pushed all in for his last 9,000 or so and after a lengthy tank Massimo Di Cicco finally folded.

Mattern survives with a below average stack.

Call Me Ismael

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Ismael Bojang
Ismael Bojang

Harry Loria raised to 1,200 preflop and Ismael Bojang flat-called in the next seat down before Adrian Mateos squeezed to 4,100 from the big blind. Loria then four-bet to 11,200 but then suddenly Bojang announced all in. Mateos quickly folded and Loria tanked for about 10 seconds before calling.

Loria: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Bojang: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The board came {2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs} - no help for Loria who was eliminated as Bojang increased his stack to over the 100,000 mark.

Vamplew Vanquished

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
David Vamplew

Following a middle position raise to 1,050 and calls from both Zimnan Ziyard sitting one seat over and Francois Scapula in the cutoff, David Vamplew reraised his entire stack from the big blind for 9,075 total, scattering all but Scapula.

Scapula paused, then asked the dealer to pull in the chips as he considered what to do. Finally he called. Vamplew tabled {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, then winced at the sight of Scapula's {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Vamplew's wince turned into a resigned grin as the flop came {8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, the turn {9-Clubs}, and the river {9-Spades}, thus giving Scapula a full house and sending Vamplew to the rail.

After the Scotsman left, Ziyard informed the table of Vamplew's recent successes at Prague where he won a WPT Prague side event and took second in an EPT Prague side event back in December. "Ah, then we shouldn't feel so bad," responded another player with a nod toward Vamplew's empty seat.

Kilmartin's C-Bet Gets the Job Done

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

In a poker world dominated by stories of five-bet bluffs and other such crazy plays, it is easy to forget that the simplest move is often the best to make. David Kilmartin hasn't forgotten this as it just helped him win a pot uncontested.

Kilmartin opened with a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and both blinds, Mario Nagel (small blind) and Jed Derkaoui (big blind) called. The {2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop was checked by Nagel, then by Derkaoui but Kilmartin reached for chips and made a 1,125 continuation bet. Nagel instantly folded, which is exactly what Derkaoui did immediately afterwards.

Good Week Continues for Mateos

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

With about 14,000 in the middle and the board showing {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts}, Antoine Saout checked and the action was on his lone opponent, Adrian Mateos.

Just last week the 18-year-old Mateos became the youngest champ ever on the Estrellas Poker Tour in Madrid by winning the €1,100 buy-in Main Event and claiming a cool €606,720 first prize. The Spaniard considered for a moment, then pushed out a bet of 11,050.

The action back on Saout, the Frenchman thought about a half-minute before calling, and Mateos swiftly tabled his {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for quad kings. Saout nodded and mucked, and Mateos scooped the pot.

Poor Bastard

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Marton Czuczor has just been handed a double-up after his two pair held against the overpair and open-ended straight draw of Michael Bastard.

We joined the table just as Czuczor moved all-in and Bastard called on a {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. Czuczor turned over {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and found himself up against the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} of Bastard.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river was the {6-Spades}. Czuczor's hand held and Bastard was left nursing a short stack.

Fun and Games at Table Baranov Still

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Sergii Baranov has got his table in stiches of laughter with his over the top and “out there” table talk.

He took a small pot off Sebastian Gohr after the German declared he had king high. Baranov responded, “CHOP!” before he opened jack-nine for a pair of nines. “Chop? Haha. You can’t chop with me unless I’m bleeding.”

Zimnan Ziyard is one of the other players at the table and he won a five-way pot the very next hand.

Gohr opened to 600 from under the gun and was called in four spots to a {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. Sinel Anton was the first to bet, for 2,400, and was only called by Ziyard in the big blind. Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} turn and Anton check-folded to a 4,100 bet on the {q-Spades} river, whilst flashing {10-Diamonds}.
