Jeremy Nock Doubles Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

"Red, red, keep it red," shouted Jeremy Nock a couple of tables over form where I stood. A few seconds later a loud, "yes," was emitted from his lips. He'd evidently been all-in at some point (I think the flop) of a {3-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and was up against Omar Lakhdari's {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

His plea answered he sat back down to count his stack, it was 17,300 and so he doubled up to around 35,000.

Thorel Straightens Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

On the river of a {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board, Simon Deadman had bet 275 before Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 1,500.

Thorel smiled, "You know right?"
Deadman replied, "No, but I hope I can guess right!"

The Englishman thought for a couple of minutes before deciding, "No bluff..." and folding his cards. "Go on, show the bluff!" he goaded.

Thorel turned over {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a rivered straight.

Boyaciyan Lets them Bluff

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
David Boyaciyan
David Boyaciyan

November 2011 David Boyaciya out of nowhere won the biggest tournament in Holland; the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam for €382,200. Not even a month later he travelled to Prague for the European Poker Tour. He finished runner up to Martin Finger for another €535,000.

Boyaciyan had found his calling and continued to crush tournaments all over the world. He travelled to the PCA where he cashed in a side event, made two cashes at the World Series that year and made the final table in a Partouche Poker Tour side event. Not much later it was time for Prague again and once more he made the final table. This time he ended up third for €310,000.

Boyaciyan is playing good and running well. He's playing today and so far enjoying himself. So far so good as Boyaciyan is playing 48,000 at the moment. Boyaciyan isn't splashing his chips just yet, small pots are what he's playing. The only slightly bigger pot was one where his opponent tried to bluff him. Boyaciyan called the raise on the turn and bet on the river with pocket aces. His opponent had complete air and had to forfeit his chips to the Dutch pro.

Two Famous Frenchies and a Belgian

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Belgian live player Bart Lybaert is in good company today, though he might be not all too happy with his neighbors.

Right next to him is Antoine Saout, third place finisher in the WSOP Main Event ($3,479,670) the year Joe Cada won. Right next to Saout is Patrick Bruel, the French singer, actor and poker player with 640,000 facebook likes, 117,000 twitter followers and $1,000,000 in cashes.

Lybaert has position on both players though, let's see where it will lead them today.

Fiorini Empties the Clip

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Italian Luca Fiorini opened for 1,100 from early position and it folded round to big blind Daniel Ghionoiu who made the call. Well, it’d be rude not to really. He also announced “Check blind.” They saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and, with it checked to him, Fiorini made it 1,000 which was called by Ghionoiu. The turn card was the {4-Diamonds} which Ghionoiu waited to see before checking and calling a bet of 2,100. The River came the {9-Spades} and a final check from Ghionoiu. Fiorini bet 6,100 and Ghionoiu shrugged and mucked his hand. Fiorini showed the table his hand. {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Franco-Russian War Breaks Out

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Robert Woodock opened for 525 and his neighbour Anthony Lerust from France made it 1,225. Ekrem Sanioglu called and small blind Dmitry Yurasov, a PokerStars player from Russia, upped the price raising it to 3,800. The big blind and Woodock folded and Lerust looked over at the Russian who was fiddling with his last 4 grey T5000 chips. Just over 20k left in his stack. Lerust rased him right back to 7,375 and it folded round to the Russian. Yurasov checked his crads again and stared down the Frenchman across the table. He moved all in and Lerust surrendered his cards.

Staszko Takes It

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Vicky Coren made it 400 to go under the gun plus one. Right next to her was Martin Staszko and he as well invested 400 to see a flop. Sunny Chattha called from the big blind and the three of them saw a flop: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Chattha now lead for 700 and both Coren and Staszko made the call.

The {A-Spades} on the turn made Chattha bet again, 1,500 this time. Coren quickly released but Staszko kept hanging around and tossed in the necessary chips. The {2-Clubs} made Chattha put on the breaks, check. Staszko bet 1,700 and Chattha quickly released.
