Martin Jacobson bet 2,400 on the turn of an against Giuliano Bendinelli, but the latter made the call to see the river. Jacobson checked and Bendinelli fired out 6,600. Jacobson asked how much more his opponent had left, but then opted to fold anyway.
With the board showing and three players in, the small blind checked, then Marc-Andre Ladouceur fired a bet of 3,500 from the big blind (about two-thirds of the pot). The third player called from the button, and the small blind got out.
The river brought the . Ladouceur hesitated, then tossed out two 5,000 chips for a bet, and after a bit of hemming and hawing his opponent let his cards go.
Pierre Cecco opened to 525 preflop and Ash Mason called before Rory Rees-Brennan made it 1,800 on the button. Timothee Colcher then came in with a cold four bet to 3,900 forcing Cecco and Mason to both fold.
Rees-Brennan flat-called however, but then quickly mucked when Colcher bet 6,000 on the flop.
David Vamplew is up to 50,000 chips after a fantastic start over on Table 25.
We joined the action on the turn of a board reading and saw Dimitry Gromov check from the hijack seat. To his immediate left was the EPT Loutraki champion Zimnan Ziyard and he bet 2,450. Vamplew was on the button and he raised to 7,200. Gromov reluctantly folded – you will see why he was so hesitant to let his hand go later!
Ziyard called and the dealer put the into play. Ziyard lead with a bet of 4,300 and Vamplew quickly called.
Ziyard:
Vamplew:
When the pot was pushed to Vamplew, the dealer informed Gromov that Laurent Polito had seen Gromov’s cards and therefore they had to be revealed to the entire table. The dealer turned over , showing why Gromov didn’t want to fold on the turn.
Pascal Jean Boyer was just all in and at risk following a flop. The risk was relatively minimal, however, as he held for a flopped set while his opponent held .
The dealer burned a card and delivered the turn — the — and the risk was removed altogether, making the river no matter. Boyer patted the table with both hands three times in response to the sight of his having made quads, and soon was collecting the chips.
Zachary Korik, Balazs Botond and Mathew Frankland are players that like to bully players off hands. We just witnessed all three on he receiving of that sort of treatment all at the same time on three adjacent tables.
Korik opened to 475 from mid position and called when Alain Roy three-bet to 1,200 from the button. He called but check-folded to a bet on a flop.
Botond opened to 450 from under the gun and was only called by Philippe Narboni in the small blind. The latter check-raised to 1,625 after Botond continued for 675 on the flop. Both checked the turn before Narboni fired 3,025 into the middle on the river. Botond made a considered fold.
While this was going on there was commotion behind us. We turned to see Frankland betting more than 2,000 on a [t][6][x] flop and folding to a raise to more than 6,000 from his neighbour. His neighbour opened and Frankland said, “Nice hand”.
For generations Deauville has been a popular spot for tourists, but also for poker players who like to win and lose amid scenes of grandeur and elegance. But it’s not just the locals to enjoy such surroundings…
David Vamplew was staring at a 1,000 bet made by Andrei Stoenescu with the board reading . Vamplew made it 2,000 and Stoenescu made the call to see the on the river.
The bespectacled Scotsman fired an over bet of 7,500 in to the 5,100 pot but was still called by Stoenescu. Vamplew flipped for a rivered flush to boost his stack to 58,000.
Sinel Anton opened the betting by raising to 550 from the hijack position and John Eames, to his direct left, called. To Eames’ immediate left was Jose Quintas and he called. Both blinds folded and, after burning a card, dealt the flop.
Anton checked, Eames tested the waters with a 1,100 bet and only Quintas called. The turn witnessed Eames check-call a 2,600 bet from Quintas, and the river saw similar action, except the bet size was 5,500.
