Not a Bad Table

With a pot of around 12,000, Sam Greenwood bet as much to enforce a fold from his opponent Padraigh Cody-Lally to award the pot to the Canadian. Three other familiar faces are on the very same table in Fabrice "fabsoul" Soulier, Andreas Leledakis and Jason Wheeler.

Iliakis First Player Out

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

According to Ian Simpson, Nikolaos Iliakis was the first player on the rail after he got his last 15,000 chips in against Kamran Aliyev. The latter had flopped the nut straight with {5-}{6-} and Iliakis mucked on the river of a board {2-}{3-}{4-}{A-}{2-}.

Daniel Chutrov, Fabrice Soulier and Sergio Castelluccio have taken their seats and they are joined by Jaroslaw Sikora. The Pole, who dominated for many days in the EPT12 Malta Main Event and eventually finished third, added a second place in the €10,000 High Roller Event of the EPT12 Prague stop to his poker resume as well back in December 2015.

Boatman's Jacks Win this Time

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With the board already being completed and reading {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}, the player in the small blind bet 5,000 and Barny Boatman in the big blind as well as Dominykas Karmazinas called. Boatman showed the {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for a set of jacks and this time the Brit won the pot. "Wow, two times a set of jacks, but this time I won," the founder of the Hendon Mob smiled.

Karmazinas Talks his Way to a Pot, but "Could Have Got More"

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Dominykas Karmazinas
Dominykas Karmazinas

Barny Boatman raised to 375 under the gun and both blinds, including Dominykas Karmazinas, called. The flop came {k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and it was checked to the pre-flop aggressor, Boatman, who bet 475. Karmazinas was the only caller.

"Almost there," said Karmazinas as the dealer burned and turned the next card: the {10-Hearts}. "That's it! That's my card!"

"Then we're going to have a big pot," came the reply from Boatman. The Englishman put out a bet of 875. "Are you sure?" asked Karmazinas. "I'm not sure!" came the reply. "Then I have to raise?" said Karmazinas, sliding out 2,500.

Boatman made the call and the {5-Clubs} came on the river. This time Karmazinas lead for 4,800 and Boatman tanked. "A set of fours?" he asked before eventually making the call. The Lithuanian turned over {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a straight. "They never listen," he said as he scooped a pot. "I had a set of jacks, what am I gonna do," said Boatman, "You could have got a bigger pot if you hadn't have talked."
