Took a Licking, No Longer Ticking

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Details of the betting escaped us, but it suffices to say Mike McDonald has gone broke.

He was seen getting out of his chair with the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} in front of him on a {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board. Davidi Kitai held the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and was seen raking in the pot that included the remainder of McDonald's stack.

Steve O'Dwyer - €25,750 High Roller

Steve O'Dwyer will not be winning his third Single-Day High Roller title of the EPT's 12th season here today.

He ran the last of his chips and the {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} into Kevin MacPhee's dominating {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and said his goodbye's following a {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts} run out.

Mercier Bluffs It Off

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Demetrio Barreca
Demetrio Barreca

Demetrio Barreca made it 10,000 to go and Jason Mercier and the player in the big blind called.

Both the big blind and Barreca checked the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop and when Mercier bet 14,500, only Barreca called. The turn brought the {8-Spades} and a check from Barreca. Mercier bet 39,000, but could not shake Barreca.

The {j-Clubs} river saw Barreca check yet again and Mercier shove in for close to 125,000. Barreca called with the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} having made the nut-flush on the river and Mercier could show only the {k-Spades}{q-Spades} on his way out the door.

Kisacikoglu Kicks Butt

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

After a slow start to the day, Turkish player Orpen Kisacikoglu is now the run away chip leader.

His latest ascent up the leader board came when he busted Pratyush Buddiga, cracking his queens in a massive flip with big slick.

In the meantime, several others have also gone broke, including Mustapha Kanit, whose high-roller win streak ends at one after a victory in the €25K High Roller last night.
