Thirsty Kamel

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Tamer Kamel was our first all in of the bubble, he'd pushed for 34,000 from early position and former EPT Deauville finalist Walid Bou Habib made the call in the big blind.

The media thronged around the table as the cards were revealed.

Kamel: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Bou Habib: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The flop brought both a straight draw coming {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and both made a pair on the {Q-Hearts} turn, the river was the {J-Hearts} and Kamel's kicker played. He doubled up and we're still on the bubble.

Still Bubbling

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The bubble is still very much going on and in the last four hands we haven't seen a single all in. There's one player with just one big blind left and everyone seems to be waiting for him to bust out.

Borman Not The Bubble Boy Just Yet

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Almost the bubble...
Almost the bubble...

Flavien Kevin Luc Guenan just failed to burst the bubble as Stefan Borman doubled up. Guenan raised from early position and Borman moved all in for just 16,000. Guenan called.

Guenan: {10-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Borman: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Borman doubled up. The bubble is not over yet!

Ashton Bubbles EPT London

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Matthew Ashton
Matthew Ashton

Matthew Ashton was all in from UTG for his last 5,500 and got called by Stephen Lacey on the button, Pasi Sormunen in the small blind and Manig Loeser in the big blind.

The three remaining players checked the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} board all the way to the river where Lacey bet 7,000, Sormunen made the call and Loeser folded.

Ashton: {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Sormunen: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}
Lacey: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Lacey's straight scooped the pot and Ashton, who started today as one of the chip leaders has to go home in 97th place, everyone else is in the money.

Double Up For Bonding

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Right after the money bubble burst it was Lars Bonding who doubled up. The Dane moved all in for 48,000 from the cutoff and Kitty Kuo called from the button. Both blinds folded and the showdown went as following.

Lars Bonding: {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Kitty Kuo: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the river saved Bonding.

Great Debut, Leo!

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

She came, she saw, she cashed on her debut. Team PokerStars Pro Leo Margets may be out but she has a flag on her first EPT outing for her new employers.

The action folded around to her on the button and she shoved her last 31,000 chips into the middle. Renato Almeida was in the big blind and shoved as well.

Margets: {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Almeida: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

The flop was almost as good as she could've hoped for but she failed to hit.
