Two Hands Lead to the Demise of Wydrowski

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Marcin Wydrowski on the button and he moved all in for 167,000. Antonio Mitrotta then called off for 106,000 from the small blind, and the cards were turned on their back.

Mitrotta:
Wydrowski:

The flop was no help to Mitrotta, but the turn was. Just like that Wydrowski went from the favorite to needing an ace on the river. It wasn't in the cards though as the blanked.

A few hands later, Niall Farrell raised to 22,000 from early position and Wydrowski shoved all in for 56,000. Farrell made the call and had some work to do.

Wydrowski:
Farrell:

The flop paired Farrell's five, but he needed some more help if he hoped to eliminate Wydrowski. The turn gave him plenty of flush outs, but it'd be the on the river that gave him trips to send Wydrowski out the door.

"I Deserve That"

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Paul Berende in the cutoff and he raised to 80,000. Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso mistakenly thought Berende was all in (he actually had 26,000 back), moved all in from the small blind, and tabled the after the big blind folded.

Action was on Berende, and he had the option of either folding or calling off knowing his opponent's cards. Berende hit the tank, and Mike "Timex" McDonald knew what was up. You see, there was a pay jump between 40th and 39th places, from €11,840 to €13,730. As such, McDonald called the clock to disrupt Berende's stalling.

Berende smiled, and with 10 seconds remaining on the countdown called off with the .

It was a flip, but not after the flop fell to give Cardoso Broadway.

"I deserve that," Berende said with a smile. The turn left him drawing dead, and he took his leave from the tournament in 40th place after the was run out on the river.

Meanwhile, Ezequiel Kleinman was eliminated at the feature table at the hands of Sam Greenwood.

40 Hopefuls Battle for €602,400 on Day 4

Webjoker

Welcome to Day 4 of the 2015 PokerStars.com EPT Season 12 Malta€5,300 Main Event! The field of 651 runners has been decimated to just 40 players, al eyeing that first place prize of €602,400.

Max Silver was the last player to get eliminated on Day 3 yesterday, cashing for €11,840. The remaining 40 hopefuls are guaranteed €11,840 at this point, but the next jump is straight away as 39th place will take home €13,730.

Jaroslaw Sikora from Poland stands in best position with a stack of 1,457,000 (146 big blinds). Alexander Ivarsson (1,306,000), Faraz Jaka (1,200,000), Niall Farrell (1,160,000) and Sam Greenwood (1,160,000) also all poses stacks worth more than a million/100 big blinds.

Austrian high roller Thomas Muehloecker (135,000), Dutch EPT regular Paul Berende (108,000) and Italian Antonio Mitrotta (103,000) are the shortest of the pack.

The plan for today is to play down to 16 players or play 5 levels, whichever comes faster. The levels will be 90 minutes long, and after each level a break of 20 minutes is scheduled. The last break, the one after level 23, will be 30 minutes.

Play starts at noon, so in about 90 minutes from now. You can again follow all the action right here on PokerNews.com, with updates from the first flop till the last river. Also available for your railing pleasure is coverage of the €10,000 High Roller event. After the big fields in the €25,000 High Roller and €10,000 one-day event, we expect nothing less for this traditional 3-day high roller. Seven players won seats for this event in last night’s €500 Super satellite. Amongst the winners were Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari, EPT Copenhagen champion Anton Wigg, EPT Deauville winner Remi Castaignon and EPT Barcelona High Roller winner Jonathan Currle. Jean Montury, who won last season’s EPT Malta champion, narrowly missed out, finishing eighth for €3,560. You can follow coverage of that event right here, which starts at 12:30.
