board Russian Team PokerStars Pro Maxim Lykov bet out 7,400. Seated a couple positions down was [Removed:254], and after some thinking the German player raised it up to 15,800.
Lykov gave it some thought but after two or three minutes he folded.
We weren't really planning on reporting that hand and had already crossed through the notes we had made, but then Abdalla tabled his cards. With a big smile on his face he showed his
and
and gathered the chips.
Lykov smirked, and continued his quest for more chips with a stack of about 130,000.
Jamila von Perger, one of the Vienna fan favorites, has just been knocked out in a huge pot against Greek pro Iliodoros Kamatakis. Von Perger was far from happy with the way the hand played out, and in her eyes, the slowroll Kamatakis put her through.
The action started with a raise to 2,500 from Kamatakis under the gun and the action folded around to Von Perger, who called from the button. The player in the small blind three-bet to 7,500 and both Kamatakis and Von Perger called.
The flop brought out ![]()
![]()
in this three-way pot and the small blind opted to check. Kamatakis, who has two EPT cashes under his belt, bet 9,000 and Von Perger threw in the chips needed to see a turn card. The small blind folded and the action went heads up to the turn.
On the turn a third spade popped up with the
and Kamatakis bet another 18,200. Von Perger went into the tank for a bit before moving all in for a total of 93,900. This big shove was clearly not something Kamatakis had anticipated, as he went into the tank for several minutes. Ultimately he made the call and Von Perger exploded.
"Are you serious?" Von Perger squealed, as Kamatakis turned over ![]()
for a set of eights.
One of the leading ladies of poker in Germany showed ![]()
for a pair of jacks and she was drawing very slim.
"How can you slowroll me so hard?" Von Perger cried, as Kamatakis silently awaited the river card.
The river brought the
and Von Perger was knocked out. Steaming Von Perger left the room as Kamatakis stacked a large pile of chips.
"She should never have queens or jacks there, always a set or a flush," Kamatakis defended his play after Von Perger had left.
Right or wrong, Kamatakis now has a mountain of chips while Von Perger will have to take solace in the fact that there will be more chances in the array of side events hosted here at EPT Vienna.

Dmitry Morozov had shoved all in on the river of a board showing ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Sasa Lalos was deep in thought. Morozov sat head down, eyes closed as the minutes ticked by. Two seats to Lalos’s left was Michael Telker who has again, apparently, been on the vodka all day and is loudly talking to his friend. He was asked by the floor a couple of times to be quiet and “Respect the game.” And on the second time he did.
Lalos continued to think. Call and it was all over. Eventually he released his hand and another player cried out “Show the bluff.” Morozov turned over ![]()
as a big pot was pushed his way, one that would take several minutes to stack up.

The decision was on Austrian player Josip Simunic when we arrived at his table. In the middle was a pile of chips already and all five community cards: ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
.
Ben Yu had 23,300 in front of him and that was asked of Simunic at this point. One helpful tablemate of the two told us that there had been a bet by Simunic and the 23,300 in front of Yu represented his all in raise.
Yu didn't move a muscle as Simunic thought about his decision. After some heavy thinking he splashed in the 23,300 asked of him after which Yu showed his ![]()
quick as lightning. The river didn't help him at all but he got the full double up from his opponent nonetheless.
As this was an all in and a call Simunic's hand was tabled for all to see: ![]()
. Yu received the pot from the dealer and started counting his chips (and blessings maybe). We counted along with him: 103,200.

A short-stacked Jens Schmieg moved all in under the gun for 14,300. Mikita Badziakouski made the call from middle position and the rest of the field got out of the way.
Schmieg: ![]()
Badziakouski: ![]()
It was a bad spot for Schmieg as he shared a king with his opponent but had the inferior kicker. The ![]()
![]()
flop gave Schmieg a backdoor flush draw, but the
turn took away any chance of that happening. The
river put the final nail in Schmieg's coffin, and Badziakouski was shipped the pot.

Michael Telker talks a lot. It’s constant, a never ending stream of table talk. “Hey seat seven, don’t be so serious.” “C’mon let’s have some fun.” He also drinks a lot. Vodka Red Bull being his drink of choice. “I’ve been drinking seven days straight,” Telker announced.
“Seven days straight?” asked Sam Trickett at his table.
“It will be when I win this tournament,” said Telker.
“The way you play I reckon it’ll be a min-cash,” replied Trickett.
Telker had been warned about talking during an all-in hand just minutes ago and now the floor asked him to take a walk with his backpack. Just outside the tournament room they went through his bag and confiscated his bottle of vodka. Back at the table Telker reached beneath his chair and retrieved a half-full glass.
“Oh well, at least I’ve got this left.”
Aurelien Guiglini just moved all in for right around 22,000 after a raise by Sandra Naujoks and a call from a player in late position.
Naujoks called and the other player folded his cards.
Naujoks: ![]()
Guiglini: ![]()
The board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Guiglinin was eliminated. Naujoks does not have a huge stack, but winning this hand meant a significant boost to her stack.
