Monster Pot Sends Benelli Into the Chip Lead

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We saw a commotion over in the corner of the room and made our way over to find out what it was all about.

When we arrive, the dealer was busy counting out chips while three players looked at the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board in amazement. Another observer revealed that action had exploded on the turn, which is where both the shortest stack, Jacobus Visser, and Andrea Benelli, who had 30,000 or so, got their chips in against EPT9 Barcelona champ Mikalai Pobal. Based on the cards they had laid out in front of them, it was easy to see why.

Pobal: {8-Spades}{9-Spades}
Visser: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Benelli: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Both Visser and Benelli had flopped sets, but of course the latter's was best. Meanwhile, Pobal had turned an open-ended straight draw to go with his flush draw. The {2-Clubs} river was a blank, and Benelli tripled into the chip lead while Visser was sent to the rail.

Govert Metaal Also Out With Aces

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Paul Berende - Govert Metaal
Paul Berende - Govert Metaal

Paul Berende raised to 525 and Govert Metaal called before Elesion Tusha made it 1,375 to go. Berende folded but his countryman four-bet to 4,500 to see a call from his opponent. On the {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, Tusha check-called 4,500 and both players checked the {J-Clubs} turn. On the {4-Hearts} river, Metaal moved all-in for ~16,000 and was snap-called by his opponent with the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The Dutchman flipped over the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} in defeat and waved good bye.

Max Pescatori Eliminated

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We have been told that Max Pescatori had flopped a set of tens but his opponent with jacks spiked the two outer on the river. Then the "Italian Pirate" got his remaining 10,000 in with the {K-}{J-} off suit against a very active opponent who woke up with pocket aces. Bad timing in what would be Pescatori's last hand.

Double Knockout!

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We're not exactly sure what just happened, but it was a pre flop all in between three players. Marc Bebawi on the button, Matthew Eiler-Gadsden in the small blind, and Jamie Roberts in the big blind got all of their chips in before any of the community cards were out on the table.

Roberts had both his opponents covered and the best hand with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Marc Bebawi had {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and needed some help, as did Eiler-Gadsden who held {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The shared cards in the middle of the table didn't improve anyone; {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. No added drama of sets, flushes or straights and thus two people got up from the table and one of 'em started stacking.

Say Goodbye To...

Action On Table 27

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We go three way to the {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and Zsolt Vizsnyiczai from Hungary made it 1,200 to go. Mauro Corsetti called and then Niels van Leeuwen in the small blind reraised to 4,000 - both opponents call. On the {6-Clubs} turn the Dutchman bet 6,000 and only Vizsnyiczai called that to fold the {J-Diamonds} river when van Leeuwen moved all-in for an almost even stack of 27,000 behind.

Finger Smells The Bluff

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

EPT Prague champion Martin Finger raised from early position and found a caller on the button to go to the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop. The German fired on the flop and the {2-Spades} turn before check-calling the {5-Diamonds} river for 3,100. Fabio Scepi turned over the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for the busted open ended straight draw and Finger raked in the pot with the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.
