Fedor Holz - EPT 13 Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller Winner

Fedor Holz opened on the button to 3,800. In the small blind, Nicolas Cardyn slid a humongous stack of blue 5,000-chips over the line, covering both Holz and the big blind. Holz snap-called it off for his tournament life.

Fedor Holz: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Nicolas Cardyn: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The dealer fanned out {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Spades} and Holz flopped the nut flush, drawing laughs from the table. The turn {Q-Hearts} did deliver Cardyn a potential four-outer, but the river {9-Clubs} bricked and gave Holz the double-up.

Some Eliminations From the Field

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ali Reza Fatehi, Pierre Neuville and defending champion Mustapha Kanit must all wait until next time for their shot at winning a High Roller (or in Kanit's case, another) as they all busted on their second bullets. The others all have the option of entering for a second time.

Lungu Doubles; Radoja does Too

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Hand 1

Radu Lungu shoved for his last 15,200 and Mark Radoja called with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} only to see the Romanian turn over {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. The board ran out {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

Hand 2

Jan-Eric Schwippert opened to 4,000 and Radoja shoved for around 25,000, Schwippert called. It was the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for Schwippert and the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for Radoja, who found help on a board of {K-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{A-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Sternheimer Wins a Small Pot

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a battle of the blinds, there were around 5,000 in the pot with the board reading {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Philip Sternheimer bet 1,800 in the small blind and Noah Vaillancourt called from one seat over. The {J-Clubs} fell on the river and Sternheimer checked, as did Vaillancourt.

Sternheimer showed the {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines and that won the pot.

Ilkin Amirov Eliminated by Pasquale Grimaldi

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Kiryl Radzivonau raised to 4,000 from the hijack, and Pasquale Grimaldi called on the button. The small blind folded and Ilkin Amirov then three-bet all in for 78,400. Radzivonau folded but Grimaldi called.

Pasquale Grimaldi: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Ilkin Amirov: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The flop looked good for Amirov as it came out {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, but the {a-Clubs} on the turn meant that Amirov was drawing very thin indeed, and the {7-Hearts} on the river meant that he was heading to the exit late on Day 2

Pasquale Grimaldi On A Heater

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Pasquale Grimaldi is riding the heater, as he just busted another player in a huge pot. On a {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, Grimaldi checked, Yurasov bet 20,000 in an already sizable pot, and Grimaldi check-raised all in. Yurasov mulled over his decision, then decided he couldn't get away from his hand.

Dmitry Yurasov: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Pasquale Grimaldi: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Grimaldi was way ahead in the 150,000 pot, and neither the turn or river was the king Yurasov was looking for, launching Grimaldi to the chiplead.

Gromov Busts to Keranen

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On the three-way flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Kyle Keranen bet 5,600 and Shivan Abdine called before Dmitry Gromov moved all in for what looked like 35,000. Keranen reraised all in and Abdine folded.

Gromov: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Keranen: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The {Q-Spades} turn and the {K-Clubs} river failed to improve Gromov and he threw his media card to the dealer and exited the tournament area.
