You Win Some, You Lose Some

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Bart Kuiper over called a raise with {10-}{9-} suited and took a flop of [qx8x6]. After three players checked Kuiper bet 8,800 with his double gutshot. Both the big blind and initial raiser called. The {5-} on the turn saw all three players check and the {4-} hit the river. Kuiper bluffed at it for 24,900 once action checked to him and the big blind called with {8-}{4-} suited for a rivered two pair.

The next hand Kuiper opened with {A-}{A-} to 4,400 and the button called. The flop came {4-Spades}{4-}{5-Spades} and Kuiper made a continuation bet of 6,600. His opponent called and a {9-} that brought a back door flush draw hit the turn. Kuiper bet 16,600 and received a call once more. The river {5-} saw Kuiper check. His opponent checked behind instantly, and mucked upon seeing Kuiper's aces.

Heated Argument

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Over on table 20 there were two foor staff standing close by while a big argument on the table was taking place. Ilan Boujenah wasn't happy about something Jesper Feddersen had said or done, and raised his voice to make that clear. Feddersen was not amused and made clear he wasn't taking any more trashtalking. Boujenah replied that he shouldn't be saying stuff to him, if he started to complain if he reacted. "I'll teach you to respect people!" Boujenah concluded after he was told by the floor to keep it down. Greenwood interfered and Boujenah angrily asked him why he was getting into the debate while he wasn't even involved in the initial argument.

"Well, I'm here at the table and you annoy me" Greenwood replied. Several sighs, some raised eyebrows and a lot of angry looks later play continued. All three involved are doing fine chip wise by the way.

You Made A Move On Johnny?

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Johnny Lodden
Johnny Lodden

Shaan Siddiqui led for 3,700 from under the gun before the button three-bet, making it 11,500.

The small blind folded and Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden put in a fourth bet, pushing out 29,500.

Sitting on about 110,000 behind, Siddiqui five-bet shoved. The button mucked and Lodden quickly joined him.

Siddiqui pushed up close to 160,000 claiming something suited with Lodden heading in the other direction.

Bulgaria's Rumen Nanev Bites the Dust

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Laurent Cessy opened for 3,300 from early position and Ludovic Heinry called from middle position. Rumen Nanev then three-bet jammed from the cutoff for 34,300 total. The button and both blinds folded, as did Cessy, but Heinry decided to make the call.

Heinry: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Nanev: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

It was a flip, but Nanev needed to improve to stay alive. The {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} was no help, while the {5-Spades} opened some chop opportunities to a four. Unfortunately for Nanev, the {6-Spades} river was a blank and his EPT12 Malta Main Event run came to an end.

Haider Is Now Hiding

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Bernhard Haider was a big stack early on Day 2 and then lost a couple of big pots. His last hand resulted in a five-bet shove from the button for around 68,000 chips with the {A-Spades}{2-Clubs} and he was called by Peter Chien in the big blind. Jose Carlos Garcia had three-bet in the small blind and then folded, Chien had four-bet and more than happily called with {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to lock up the knockout on the turn of a {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Spades} board.

Now Chien is the hero at the table with the biggest stack, Anton Bertilsson is not too far behind.

Gregorio Makes Hero Call in Monster Pot, Runs Into a Rivered Set

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Bart Kuiper opened the hijack with a raise to 3,600 and the cutoff called. Pasquale Gregorio on the button squeezed to 10,400 and Pawel Brzeski in the small blind cold four bet to 26,500. Both Kuiper and the cutoff folded, Gregorio on the button called.

The flop came {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Brzeski fired a bet of 16,000. Gregorio called in position. The same thing happened on the {6-Spades} turn; Brzeski bet 23,000 and Gregorio called.

The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board and Brzeski moved all in for his last 54,800. Gregorio tanked long and hard but couldn't make up his mind at first it seemed. He cut out the calling chips and counted how much he would have behind if he called and lost (80,000 to be exact). After a minute more he eventually slammed the 55,000 stack he already had in his hand on the table.

Brzeski proudly showed his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for the rivered set. Gregorio angrily threw his cards towards the muck. The bounced open and it was revealed Gregorio had called with {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Both Kuiper and Yoon frowned upon seeing the showdown and Gregorio left the table for a break somewhat frustrated. Brzeski started stacking his monster stack.
