Reard Storms into the Lead

MarcC

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Do you want a friend like Reard? Are there ever any friends at the poker table? Idris Ambraisse might say no on both counts.

Ambraisse and Reard are good friends away from the table but that didn't stop the former taking all the latter's chips. First Reard made a flush over flush hand against Ambraisse and then he knocked him out.

Reard opened to 6,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 17,000 by Ambraisse in the next seat. The action folded back around to Reard who put in a four-bet to 40,000. Ambraisse started the hand with 190,000 and after tanking for a while in they went. Now it was Reard's turn to tank, surprisingly, seeing as what he eventually called with.

Reard:
Ambraisse :

The board ran to confirm Reard as the new chip leader with 560,000.

There were some discussions at the table afterwards (in French) about whether Ambraisse "slow-rolled" with his hand. I think the conclusion was that it was more of a "nit-roll" due to the relationship the players have.

Ostrom Strong

Shamus

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

With the board showing and about 75,000 in the middle, the muscular Swede David Ostrom set out a bet of 30,000 and waited while his opponent Remi Le Meur considered how to respond.

Le Meur grabbed the calling chips and shuffled them for nearly a minute before finally casting them forward, at which point Ostrom tabled his for a diamond flush, and with slight consternation Le Meur mucked.

David Ostrom	395,000	26,600

Deeb is Short

Matthew Pitt

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Freddy Deeb is now nursing a short stack and needs to rebuild, and do it quickly, if he is to at least cash in this tournament.

Deeb started the day with over 100,000 but we just saw him moving all-in preflop for just 30,700 — a shade over 10 big blinds. Nicolas Cardyn looked the most likely to call Deeb's shove, but doing so would put himself at risk of elimination as Deeb covered him. In the end, Cardyn folded and Deeb picked up the blinds and antes.

The very next hand Deeb raised to 10,000 and his table mates smelled a rat and they all quickly folded.

Bonnet Binks, Wins Against Wenker

Shamus

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Tobias Wenker opened for 6,000 from the hijack seat, then Yannick Bonnet reraised to 15,000 from the button. It folded back around to Wenker who made it 45,000 to go, Bonnet pushed all in for just over 80,000 total, and Wenker called.

Wenker:
Bonnet:

Wenker's jacks remained best through the flop and turn. But the fell on the river, giving Wenker a set but providing Bonnet with a saving straight.

Tobias Matuschek has become one of the earliest casualties of the day after he pushed all in over the top of Timothy Reilly's raise with and found himself in a good spot after the American called him with .

But the board came to make Reilly a full house and eliminate the German PokerStars qualifier.

Back to Being the Hunter

MarcC

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Gordon Huntly is back to winning ways and Fabrice Soulier wasn't too happy about it. The host country hero muttered, "Wow! Nice. Nice all the way" in a tone that gave a message this Scotsman surely understood.

The hand started with a Soulier mid position raise and a big blind defend from Huntly. The flop fell and Huntly check-called a 7,300 c-bet. Both players checked the turn before Huntly led for 12,000 on the river.

Soulier tabled for turned trips and raked the pot as Soulier mucked. There a few stare-downs between the two players after the hand so we'll keep an eye out for any more developments on that front.
