Gathy Got Them

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Floor staff just came over with two tickets of fresh bust outs and that included Ibrahim Ghassan and Peder Behr. Both departed from table 16 and a quick glance at said table revealed one big stack, who is no unknown either. Michael Gathy boasts more than two times the starting stack and the Belgian had pocket aces versus tens and jacks, another ace on the flop sealed it.

Going, Going, Gong

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jiachen Gong opened form middle position to 500 and Matt Haugen called from the small blind. Lorenzo Lavis in the big blind decided to raise to 2,000 before Gong four-bet to 4,600. All this action forced Haugen out of the pot before Lavis moved all-in for his remaining 17,000 or so chips. Gong snap-called.

Gong: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Lavis: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Gong was ahead, but the king on the flop {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} gave Lavis hope of scooping the pot, and the {j-Hearts} on the turn gave him extra chop outs. But the {j-Spades} on the river ensured his elimination and Gong marched onwards on day 1b of the EPT Dublin Main Event

More for Williams

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Frank Williams has been moved tables and now resides on the far right of the tournament area. He three-bet to 1,800 to enforce a fold and then shot two barrels on a board of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. The second bet worth 1,300 did the trick and Williams scooped the small pot, adding to his growing tower.

Poulemperis Gone

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, Antonis Poulemperis moved all in from the one seat and his opponent Corey Hochman in the one seat. "It is not a slow roll, I am going to call and just want to know how much it is," Hochman said and the dealer counted out a stack of 9,800 chips for Poulemperis before Hochman tossed in two blue T-5,000 chips.

Poulemperis: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Hochman: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

"Yeah yeah, no slow roll," a rather annoyed Poulemperis said, followed by a "good luck guys." The board completed with the {Q-Spades} turn and the {5-Spades} river to bust Poulemperis.

André Akkari

Andre Akkari raised to 450 from early position and found two callers in Felix Lambertz and Eduard Fechita.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Fechita checked to Akkari who continued for 575. Both Lambertz and Fechita called a second time. The turn was the {a-Hearts}, which all players checked, and the river was another ace, the {a-Spades}. Fechita checked and Akkari bet 2,300. Lambertz folded but Fechita made a prompt call and was shown the bad news as Akkari tabled {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a full house

Now Koop fired 6,200 when it was his turn to act, only Bahna tossed in the chips after some consideration and then mucked when Koop flashed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a straight.
