Linde and Haugen Eliminated

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Martin Jacobson entered the competition whereas Per Linde and Matthew Haugen headed the opposite way to the rail. Haugen's chips went to Mikiyo Aoki and Linde's shove for 6,000 on the {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Hearts} river saw Joao Simao tank-call with {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Linde only had {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and was gone.

Farrell is Gone

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

A previous hand saw Niall Farrell with a cheeky bluff and the Scot tried the very same thing again. However, this time Carter Swidler called down his bets on a board of {2-}{3-}{4-}{4-}{K-} with two spades on the flop. Farrel held the {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for a busted flush draw and Swidler pocket sevens to claim the prominent bust out.

While Swidler and table neighbor Winfred Yu are just above starting stack, Slaven Popov and Corey Hochman are doing much better.

Walsh Gets it Right

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board both players checked and saw the {q-Diamonds} on the turn. Walsh checked and Dominik Panka bet 1,800. Walsh called and the {k-Clubs} came on the turn. Again, Walsh checked and Panka bet 4,500.

Walsh thought for a long time before making the call. Panka tabled {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Walsh relished the moment as he turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} to scoop the pot

Tang's Honesty Wins Pot

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Chi Daniel Tang raised to 600 and the player one seat over call, then Carlo Savinelli three-bet from the small blind. Tang rhen four-bet to 6,500 and Savinelli was still to act. Tang called the floor and explained that he had seen a black king. Ultimately that didn't have any immediate impact, because Savinelli was simply reminded to make sure to keep his cards low and the hand played on with Savinelli tossing in the extra chips.

On the flop {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} both players checked. The {4-Spades} turn saw Savinelli fire 3,500 and Tang called with the {A-Hearts} river completing the board. Savinelli now checked and Tang's bet of 11,600 won the pot without showdown. "Did you have kings?" Tang asked his opponent and Savinelli shook his head, then got shown {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The extra information surely also played an important role on the outcome as well.

Nikolaus Teichert is sitting on the same table and watched the spectacle with interest, his stack is not too bad either.

Dimov Folds; van Zadelhoff Wins

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

On the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} turn with plenty of chips in the pot, Ognyan Dimov checked in the small blind and Michel Abecassis bet 8,150. The EPT Deauville champion checked his stack and then mucked to leave himself with less than starting stack.

One table over, Steven van Zadelhoff bet the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{Q-Spades} river for 10,200 and his sole opponent spent some time in the think tank before making the call. The Dutchman, now resident of Malta and online poker wizard, rolled over {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for trips queens and scooped the pot.

Lodden Eliminated Against Dubini

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Johnny Lodden
Johnny Lodden

On a board of {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} Johnny Lodden bet 1,800 and Dubini called. The turn was where the fireworks started however as the {j-Diamonds} was dealt. Lodden thought before betting 2,800 and watched as his opponent counted out a raise and dropped out 9,000 chips.

Lodden thought for several minutes before moving all-in, which Dubini snap-called. Lodden held {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the second nut flush while his opponent had {j-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a full house, and Lodden was on his feet and heading to the exit as the meaningless river card was dealt

Reilly Busts to Petrov

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Tim Reilly
Tim Reilly

Tim Reilly was shaking his head, stood up from the chair and then left the tournament area. The American was sitting on the button and faced the shoved on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades} turn by Mikhail Petrov. Reilly called it off and was ahead:

Reilly: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Petrov: {3-Spades}{2-Spades}

The {2-Hearts} river improved Petrov to a flush and that caused the frustration of Reilly.

Back to Work for MacIntyre

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The massage ended abruptly, Fraser MacIntyre stood up without being overly upset, smiled and then headed out of the tournament area. The Scot had promised to give 10% of his winnings to each of his parents, whose birthday is today and in two weeks, but that plan will have to be scrapped for now.

"Ah well, back to work. I had ace king and ran into queens. Flopped the nut flush draw and didn't get there," the EPT8 Madrid runner up said.
