Misstep Costs Max Silver

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Alex Komaromi opened and got two callers, including Max Silver defending his big blind. Silver checked a flop of {q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Komaromi continued for 1,600. The first caller folded, but Silver came along for the ride.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {k-Hearts} and Silver checked to Komaromi who bet 2,500. Silver thought for a while before throwing enough blue 5,000-value chips out to put his opponent all in. Komaromi called. Silver turned over {3-}{6-} for a pair of sixes, while Komaromi turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for a pair of queens to double up through the British pro.

Papazian Moves In On Kempe

Alexandru Papazian
Alexandru Papazian

In a blind battle, Romania's Alexandru Papazian bet 1,200 on a {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, and Rainer Kempe called. On the {10-Spades} turn, the bearded Romanian bet 3,800 and got another call from the German High Roller.

The river was the {2-Diamonds}, which prompted Papazian to move all in for 9,475. Kempe gave it around twenty seconds of thought, then mucked his hand.

Bart Fergiatakis' EPT Gift

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Bart Fergiatakis is currently sitting at 75,000, courtesy of what he described as an "EPT-gift." According to Fergiatakis, he was holding {K-}{J-} when he saw a {A-}{Q-}{10-} flop with two other players. After a bet from Steve O'Dwyer, another player shoved for 50,000, a huge overbet. Fergiatakis called 40,000 all in and got shown {8-}{6-} for no pair, no draw.

"The table is still talking about it," laughed Fergiatakis.

Fergiatakis is also one of the qualifiers who visited PokerStars Team Pro Daniel Negreanu's workshop this morning. "The positivity of Negreanu stayed with me the most," Fergiatakis remarked. "Never tell bad beat stories, focus on the positive things. He's almost a positivity guru!"

Davidi Kitai Struggling Midway Through Day 1a

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The small blind limped and Davidi Kitai checked his big blind. The flop came {j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and the small blind lead for 400 and Kitai called. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and this time Kitai's opponent checked and the Belgian bet 800. His opponent called.

The river was the {3-Spades} and it was checked to Kitai again and this time he bet 1,500. His opponent quickly called but mucked when he saw that Kitai had rivered a straight with {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Kitai is still struggling for chips, with less than half a starting stack towards the start of level five.
