Coren Takes One Down

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Victoria Coren
Victoria Coren

Kevin MacPhee was under-the-gun and opened the action for 1,700. Bernardo Dias made the call as did Sebastian Saffari. The pot was now swollen with those calls and 100 antes from everyone.

The action was on former EPT winner Team PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren. With the blinds still to act behind her, Coren made it 8,000 to go and one by one the hands were released and the pot was pushed to Coren.

Mystic Ramdin

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Manlio Iemina from Italy moved all in for 10,200 and found a caller in Even Mikkelsen. Luigi Scamarcio in the big blind looked at his cards again and thought about his move. Mikkelsen had only called and they had similar 40,000 stacks. He elected to call. Victor Ramdin was at the same table and optimistically told the all in player, “Triple up.”

The flop was {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. No action and they checked on the turn {6-Hearts} and again on the river {a-Hearts}.

“Flush.” Iemina said turning over {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Scamarcio showed {A-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Mikkelsen said he had a flush too but mucked {9-Hearts}{9-}.

It was indeed a triple up for Iemina.

Tamer Kamel Chips Up Again

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Tamer Kamel
Tamer Kamel

Tamer Kamel three-bet preflop into an open raise of 1,600 and made it to make it 4,100. On the {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop he made the continuation bet for 4,100 and doubled this after the {10-Clubs} for 8,200. After the {K-Spades} river, the Brit moved all in for what looked like 28,000 and his opponent, Marco Pistilli, had less than that with 22,000. The Italian ultimately ended up folding his cards and waits for a better spot to generate chips.

Steve O'Dwyer eliminated

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The seat of the small blind was empty as he just took a break. Alessandro Meloni had raised to 1,600 from the cutoff, and Steve O'Dwyer, who had nursed his stack up to 23,000 previously, three-bet in the big blind to 4,700 with the {A-}{J-}. Meloni moved all-in with more chips with the {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and the river delivered a flush for the Italian.

One of the floorman also confirmed the elimination of another big name not long ago. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier three-bet shoved with {A-}{10-} into the {A-}{K-} of Vincenzo Scarcella and could not improve. The same applied for fellow French Quentin Lecomte with the {K-}{J-} into pocket kings.

Romanello Makes A Small Bet

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Russian player Maxim Panyak opened to 1,600 and Roberto Romanello in the big blind was the sole caller.

Romanello check-called another 2,100 bet on {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} and checked again on the {K-Hearts}-turn. Panyak checked behind and the {7-Clubs} was displayed as the river. Romanello bet a tiny 1,200 and Panyak reluctantly called after some thinking.

Romanello showed his {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Panyak mucked.

Lodden’s River

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Johnny Lodden
Johnny Lodden

Three players saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{a-Spades}. Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden checked from the big blind and the early position raiser Giuliano Bendinelli bet out 3,000. Pawel Brzeski on the button made the call and now Lodden raised to 8,300.

Bendinelli made the call and when Brzeski folded they saw a heads-up turn card the {7-Spades}. Lodden looked over at how much more Bendinelli had, about 30,000. He thought for a while and checked as did Bendinelli.

The river card was the {2-Diamonds} and again Lodden contemplated the board for a minute or so deep in Lodden thought. His bet of 15,000 was called by Bendinelli and Lodden turned over {a-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the rivered full house.

“Wow.” Bendinelli said and showed the table his {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a turned flush. That painful river now left him short.
