The Coin You Must Flip

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Artem Litvinov raised to 18,000 from the cutoff and Antoine Saout then shoved the small blind for 151,000. Litvinov took his time before making a decision, ultimately grabbing a coin and flipping it. He then folded and Saout inquired if it was head or tail. Litvinov replied "the coin says fold."

Ruzzi Shoves Into Neuville

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On the three-way turn {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, Matias Ruzzi checked out of the small blind and Pierre Neuville bet 34,000. Alex Goulder called from two seats over and Ruzzi check-raised to 75,000. Neuville just called, but Goulder got out of the way.

The {6-Clubs} river saw the Argentinian get his stack of 134,000 in and Neuville asked for a call before tossing his cards into the muck.

Petrangelo Doubles on Feature Table

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

There was an all-in and a call from the futuristic EPT feature table set as Petrangelo was all-in but ahead holding {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} against Rhys Jones' {8-Spades}{9-Spades}. The board of {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} didn't help either player, but the {a-Diamonds} on the turn certainly helped Petrangelo and the {9-Hearts} was too little too late to help Jones knock out Petrangelo

Panka Busts Khoury

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Cards were on their backs when we got to Panka's table and it was the Pole who was ahead, holding {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} against Mazin Khoury's {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The flop came {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, offering not much in the way of help to Khoury. The turn was the {10-Hearts}, which did give him some out to stay alive, but the {5-Clubs} wasn't one of them.

Difelice Dropped

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Difelice picked up the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and fired in the last of his almost 150,000-chip stack from late position.

Unfortunately for him, Tomas MacNamara made the call with the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, having him covered. Jacks held on a {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board to eliminate Difelice.

Goulder Knocks Out Liperis

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From middle position, Alex Goulder raised to 18,000. His neighbor Yiannis Liperis in the hijack shoved all in for 128,000. Action folded back around to Goulder and he called.

Alex Goulder: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Yiannis Liperis: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The flop was good for Liperis with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, but he was drawing dead after the {8-Spades} hit the turn. The {7-Hearts} completed the board and Liperis made his exit.

"Blegh!" was all he said.

Litvinov Doubles

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Charles La Boissonnire and Artem Litvinov got their stacks in before the flop. Litvinov, all in for 117,000 from the small blind, had the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} while La Boissonnire showed up with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Litvinov won the race after the board came {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and he doubled. No karate this time around, just a happy face.

Monstad Loses Two in a Row to Bust

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After a raise to 18,000, Yiannis Liperis moved all in from the small blind for just over 100,000 and Vebjorn Monstad reshoved from one seat over for slightly more, the initial raiser folded.

Liperis: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Monstad: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and Monstad was left super short. In the very next hand, Liperis shoved the button and Monstad gave it some thought before calling it off from the small blind. Pierre Calamusa snap-called out of the big blind for his last 98,000 as well.

Monstad: {Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Calamusa: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Liperis: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flop {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} changed nothing whatsoever, but Calamusa paired up on the {9-Spades} turn with the {J-Spades} river being a brick. Monstad was eliminated and Calamusa more than doubled up to cut down Liperis again.

Timothy Adams Gets Eliminated...Twice

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

I doubt there have been so many ups and downs in so few hands for Timothy Adams or indeed any other poker player. First, Adams was all in holding {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} against Anton Wigg's {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, or at least that was what the red triangle on the table indicated.

After the board came {j-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Adams stood and said his regards to the table before heading towards the tournament staff around a table. It was only after Wigg and the dealer took a more thorough look at counting their chips, that it was discovered that Adams actually covered Wigg, albeit by just 13,000. Adams was waved back over to the table, and took his place for the next hand.

As is to be expected of someone holding 1.5 big blinds, Adams shoved the next hand and got four callers, including Wigg. The board of {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} was checked through and Adams sheepishly turned over {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} - and was good! That took is ailing stack up to around 55,000.

The very next hand Adams moved all-in from under the gun, but this got through. To his credit, he did show the {a-Spades}. However the dream comeback evaporated the very next hand. Bernardo Dias opened from the cut-off and Adams shoved his remaining 60,000 or so chips from the big blind. "I have to call," said Dias tabling {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Adams was behind holding {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, but there were a few chuckles around the table as the board came {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. However they were eclipsed by groans, as the {2-Diamonds} came on the turn, and the {4-Spades} meant that Adams headed to the exit for the second time in four hands.
