It's not been the best of times for Friend of PokerStars, Natalie Hof. She called a 3,200 bet on the turn of a ![]()
![]()
![]()
board against Sotirios Koutoupas before checking the river to the Greek player.
Koutoupas appeared to have tapped the table and Hof turned over ![]()
but the former said, "No, no, no, I didn't check." However he relented and accepted that it looked as though he had. Koutoupas turned over ![]()
for a rivered set to pinch the pot on the river.

A cursory glance at Stephen Chidwick's stack revealed that the EPT10 Prague third place finisher had a stack of some 57,000, almost double what it was previously. It turns out that just before the end of Level 2 he eliminated Nessim Alberto Dayan to climb to that height.
On the river of a ![]()

![]()

for bottom pair. Yurasov showed his read was right with his ![]()
getting a “Wow.” from his opponent.

France’s very own Roger Hairabedian, “Big Rog” to his friends, opened and was raised from the big blind by Chun Ho Law from the UK to 1,900. They say a flop of ![]()
![]()
and Law checked to Hairabedian who bet 2,000. Law called and they say a turn card of
which again was checked to Hairabedian who bet a single T5000 chip. Law gave an inquisitive nod of his head and Hairabedian showed him his remaining chip stack of around 6,000. Law bet a stack of chips to cover that and Hairabedian threw his cards in the muck.

Right before the first break someone limped under the gun. Manuel Bevand raised it up to 600 from middle position but he would not get the limper all to himself as the small blind and blind joined in as well, as did the limper.
Four way to the flop which brought three clubs into play: ![]()
![]()
. The small blind and Nikolay Losev in the big blind checked to the limper who checked as well. Bevand bet 1,400 and the small blind quickly folded. Losev raised it up to 3,800 and the limper released his cards within seconds. Bevand wasn't so eager to throw his hand away though, he pushed all in to maximize the pressure on Losev.
The Russian player made the call but his flopped straight with ![]()
was almost drawing dead. Bevand had ![]()
for the flopped flush. With the
on the turn hopes for Losev for a runner runner split pot were gone and he exited even before the
had hit the river.

With the board reading ![]()
![]()
, Victor Choupeaux and Rob Woodcock both checked across to Dmitry Yurasov who bet 800. Choupeaux made the call but Woodcock came in for a check-raise to 3,200. Yurasov and Choupeaux both made the call to see the
on the turn, ostensibly a blank and Choupeaux checked to Woodcock.
The British player bet 8,500 this time with about 13,000 behind, Yurasov folded quickly but Choupeaux was a little more circumspect. Eventually though, he mucked as well.
