Day 2 of the 2015 PokerStars.com EPT Season 12 Prague €50,000 Super High Roller is structured to be a bit fluid. First, and unlike Day 1, there will be a dinner break, which will take place after Level 14 and last for 75 minutes.
Second, the day will finish either after 10 levels have been played (AKA after Level 18) or when the final table of eight is reached (which is also the money bubble). Only time will tell which will come first, but we'll be here every step of the way.
Dario Sammartino opened for 18,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 60,000 by Dominik Nitsche in the small blind. Ole Schemion then put in a four-bet to 123,000 from the big, Sammartino folded, and Nitsche thought for a bit before five-betting all in for approximately 320,000. Schemion made the call.
"Ace-king," Nitsche said. "Three ways to play them."
Nitsche:
Schemion:
It was a flip, but Nitsche was the one that needed to improve to stay alive. The flop didn't do it, and neither did the turn. Nitsche snapped his fingers together and pointed at the board — a gesture designed to will his card — but the dealer did not obey and instead put out the useless .
With that, Nitsche hit the rail and Schemion chipped up to 1.1 million.
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 20,000 and Finnish pro Joni Jouhkimainen moved all in for 144,000. The action folded back to O'Dwyer, and he quickly tossed in some chips to make the call.
Argentina's Ivan Luca, who won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet this past summer, moved all in for 81,000 from the button and Oleh Okhotski hit the tank in the big. Eventually he made the call, and he was no doubt happy to discover he had his opponent dominated.
Luca:
Okhotski:
The flop solidified Okhotski's lead with a flush draw, though Luca did pick up a gutshot. Amazingly, he hit it when the dealer burned and turned the . The river failed to hit Okhotski, and he seemed a bit miffed as he sent over the chips.
Action folded to Dzmitry Urbanovich, one of the Day 2 late entries, and he limped from the small blind. A short-stacked Mike "Timex" McDonald, who a couple months back won the EPT12 Malta €25K High Roller, then raised all in from the big, and Urbanovich snap-called.
Urbanovich:
McDonald:
Urbanovich limped with a huge hand, and it looked as if it'd pay off. However, McDonald had the one card he wanted in such a situation — an ace.
Unfortunately for McDonald, the flop made that a moot point as Urbanovich flopped a set. McDonald needed running cards, but the took away that hope.
"That'll do it," McDonald laughed as he was drawing dead to Urabnovich's four of a kind.
The meaningless was run out on the river for good measure, and then McDonald made his way to the exit.
David Peters raised from the button and both blinds, Fedor Holz and Jeff Rossiter, came along. The flop came down and both blinds checked to Peters who bet 26,000, and Holz was his only caller.
The turn was the and Holz lead out for 57,000, after which Peters tanked and called.
