Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Set Over Set For Breakfast

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Raul Paez' day started off in horrible fashion for someone with a set. We caught the action when the board read {3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Spades} and Dmitry Ponomarev bet out 3,000 from the small blind. Paez raised it up to 12,500 and Ponomarev quickly made the call.

On the river the {J-Diamonds} popped up and Ponomarev checked to Paez who fired out 12,500. Ponomarev looked down at his cards, put together the right amount and casually made the call.

Paez quickly turned over {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and was waiting for the dealer to push him the pot. The Spaniard was expecting anything but for his opponent to turn over the best hand but Ponomarev did. The Russian player tabled his {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for a higher set and he took down this big pot in the first level. Paez was knocked down to 13,000 chips.

Tough Test for Sheringham

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Teddy Sheringham is back on the EPT for the first time in a while. The ex England international footballer is a very handy poker player too but the last 12 months of his life has been dominated by his 14-month old son George. He has another on the way in May so we shall enjoy his presence while he's here.

Sheringham made a great living taking on tough players and he finds himself at a table today with great players such as Ben Jenkins, Gordon Huntly and Matt Perrins.

Jenkins came 13th in this tournament last year and Huntly has had good success so far in 2013. He came 7th in the UKIPT high roller last night and came 18th at EPT Deauville last month. Matt Perrins won a bracelet in 2011.

Bonomo Can't Crack Kings

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Justin Bonomo raised on the button, a player in the small blind three-bet to 850, and Bonomo responded with a four-bet to 2,100. The player called.

The dealer fanned {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and the player checked. Bonomo tossed out 1,700, and the player check-raised to 4,000. Bonomo called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, the player led out for 6,000, and Bonomo made the call.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board, and the player led out for 6,000 once again. Bonomo tanked for the better part of the middle, then called, prompting the player to rip over {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Bonomo mucked his hand, losing more than two-thirds of his stack.
