Chati Picks From Pateychuk

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Farid Chati, who won a live satellite yesterday to qualify for the €10,300 EPT Barcelona High Roller, saw a flop with Ognyan Dimov and Andrey Pateychuk. The latter bet 1,800 on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, with Chati being the only caller.

Both players quickly checked the {7-Spades} turn. On the {A-Hearts} river, Chati casually flicked in a 5,000-chip and Pateychuk immediately folded.

Andras Nemeth vs Roman Korenev feat. Alex Keating

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

"So where are we all from?" asked Alex Keating to his table.

"Hungary," said Andras Nemeth.

"Russia," came the response from Roman Korenev.

"Russian? You don't look Russian," said Keating to Korenev, "You look Swedish. You look like you work in Ikea..."

Meanwhile, Andras Nemeth and Roman Korenev were involved in a hand together. The Hungarian raised to 1,200 from the button and the Russian called in the small blind. The pair checked a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} and a turn of the {3-Hearts}.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and Korenev bet 800 and was quickly called by Nemeth. Korenev turned over {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for king-high and Nemeth showed {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for ace-high and took down the pot.

"I take it back," piped up Keating, "You are Russian."

Dario Sammartino Eliminated by Shivan Abdine

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

On a flop of {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Spades} Shivan Abidne check-called a bet of 6,400 from Dario Sammartino, and then when the {5-Hearts} was dealt on the turn, he moved all in. His stack covered that of his Italian counterpart and Sammartino thought for a while before committing his chips to the pot.

Abidne turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for top pair, and he had a better kicker than the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} of Sammartino. The river was the {7-Spades} and Sammartino headed to the exit. He still has the option of a second bullet in this event if he wishes.

Philipp Gruissem Doubles Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

German High Roller Philipp Gruissem, sporting one of poker's finest moustaches, moved up to a six-figure stack. On a board of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades}, Gruissem called a river shove holding {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. His opponent flashed {A-}{Q-} and had to move 31,375 of his stack to the German, on top of the chips in the already large pot.

Gruissem, who busted the Main Event late last night in 99th place (€11,170), goes up to 110,000.

Yaxi Zhu With The Four-bet

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Yaxi Zhu
Yaxi Zhu

Team PokerStars China is represented by the lovely Yaxi Zhu, who burst onto the tournament scene two years ago. She's not just a pretty face, as Zhu has already racked up notable cashes all over the world. Her biggest cash to date is a massive €119,100 score in a €2,000 tournament during the Eureka portion of EPT 11 Prague. Zhu also cashed last year's EPT Main Event in Barcelona, banking €13,475 for an 115th place.

She's looking to top those finishes today's €10,300 EPT High Roller event, and is off to a good start. In her latest hand, she opened the cutoff to 1,500, only to have Jason Wheeler three-bet to 4,100 from the small blind. Zhu four-betted to 10,500 and Wheeler gave it up.

Last Year's Runner Up Kuljinder Sidhu Eliminated by Thomas Muehloecker

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Kully Sidhu
Kully Sidhu

Kuljinder Sidhu opened from early position to 1,400 and Thomas Muehloecker three-bet from the button to 3,600. Sidhu called.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Sidhu check-called a bet of 2,900 from Muehloecker. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and again Sidhu check-called a bet from his opponent, this time for 4,700.

The river was the {8-Spades} and Sidhu open-shoved for his remaining chips. Last year's runner-up to Mustapha Kanit had just over 15,000 left in his stack and Muehloecker quickly made the call. Sidhu showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} but Muehloecker, who 21st in the same event last year, held {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and took the pot, eliminating Sidhu.
