EPT Barcelona runner up Steven Warburton has been eliminated from the tournament. Action folded to well known online player Ross "RLOG" Loggie in the small blind and he pushed all in. In the big blind, Warburton had 13,500 left and called it off with . Loggie had but Warburton admittedly celebrated too early. A on the board spoiled Warburton's double up party and he made his exit.
As we ran into Steven Warburton in the lobby and asked him for his bust out, we saw Tobias Peters in the corner of our eyes registering for a new tournament.
As Peters got his receipt from the cashier, he told us he had pushed for his last 12 big blinds holding suited in the hijack. The player on the button over shoved for 25 big blinds with and that would mean the end of it for the Dutch regular. Peters hit his king but his opponent hit an ace, and 'on to the next one' it was for Peters who registered for a new hold'em tournament.
Chris Moorman's exploits as an online poker player are well documented. In fact, he recently passed the $13 million mark in online winnings and spoke to PokerNews all about it.
While he's had success on the live poker scene as well, winning the WPT's LAPC, Moorman doesn't travel regularly to play. He did make the trip to Dublin for the EPT, however, and now finds himself among the leaders here after pushing a few opponents around.
He fired away three-handed on a flop moments ago, getting only one caller. Another 12,400 on the turn from Moorman still couldn't shake his heads-up foe. But when the river was revealed and Moorman sensed weakness in a check, it was bombs away. He bet 50,000, putting his opponent to the test for all his remaining chips.
The opponent found a fold and after raking in the pot, Moorman moved past the 130,000-chip mark and into contention here on Day 2.
On a board of Chi Daniel Tang lead for 5,500 and got two callers in Jean-Noel Thorel and Rui Milhomens. The turn was the and again Tang bet, this time for 14,400. For the second street in a row he got two callers and the three players saw the on the turn. The three players all checked and Milhomens turned over for a rivered straight. Tang threw his hand down in disgust and Thorel showed for posterity as the Portuguese player raked in a pot to take him over 150,000 chips
The betting action escalated on the flop with Corey Hochman betting 5,000 and Antoine Saout calling from one seat over. 25k High Roller champion Mustapha Kanit then moved all in and Hochman reshoved to isolate. Saout however called and the three of them tabled their cards.
Kanit:
Hochman:
Saout:
Both the turn and river blanked and Kanit was sent to the rail. Hochman let out a "wow, sick call" to table neighbor Saout and the Frenchman got his stack of 59,800 paid off by Hochman.
Casey Kastle, with his infamous donkey from Shrek as a card protector, was down to his last 8,100 and moved all in from first position. Action folded to Timothy Adams in the small blind and he moved forward 15,400. The big blind folded.
Timothy Adams:
Casey Kastle:
The flop came , and the on the turn didn't do Adams any good either.
Adams already counted out the 8,100 was supposed to part ways with soon, but the on the river made all that unnecessary.
Exit Castle, Adams back to just over 70,000 after having lost a bit since our last update.
Brian Ganon won a flip with against the pocket jacks of Bryn Kenney to increase his stack and a quartet of Germans are also up including Felix Lambertz, Koray Aldemir, Sven Magirius and Nikolaus Teichert. The latter raised to 1,800 from under the gun and table neighbor Dean Hutchison three-bet to 4,000.
One player called before Teichert then squeezed to 18,000. Hutchison jammed with the and only Teichert called with ace-king to find an all red flop with a king.
Italian regular Andrea Dato has been eliminated from the tournament.
He first lost a big pot where he raised to 1,700 with and got two callers, including the player in the big blind. On rainbow, Dato made a bet of 2,500. The first caller folded, but the big blind check raised all in for 16,000. Dato called with his over pair and was up against . The on the turn wasn't good for Dato, and he didn't recover on the river.
With that, he was down to just 12 big blinds and pushed with . He ran into and didn't hit enough to stay alive.
