Lacay Doing Some Work

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ludovic Lacay opened to 2,000 from the hijack and Kwok Chun Yip three-bet to 5,200 in the cutoff, Jurijs Binklers called on the button and Lacay also came along. On the {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, the action checked to Chun Yip and he continued for 4,200. Only Lacay called and the remaining two players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn.

Lacay then bet the {2-Spades} river and Chun Yip quickly folded to give up the pot. Lacay started the day below average, but has since more than tripled up to make for a excellent first level of the Day 2.

Chouity Racing Ahead

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Nicolas Chouity has experienced European Poker Tour success before with a win for over $2.2 million at EPT Grand Final back in 2010. He's looking for more and is stacking about 400,000 at this juncture, which appears to be good for the lead. In one recent pot, he put an opponent all in from the cutoff and had that player fold on the turn, with Chouity showing a flopped set of fours.

Engel Off to a Good Start on Day 2

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Ari Engel
Ari Engel

Ari Engel was among the chip leaders most of the day yesterday until the end of the day when he bagged just under a six-digit stack. As was the case yesterday, he has been active again most of the day today and his stack has grown to 148,000.

One player on the table was joking as we walked by, "What are the chances Ari is in a hand again?" Sure enough, while we walked by Engel took down a small pot after raising preflop to 2,500 from late position and getting a call from the big blind. His continuation bet of 2,700 was uncontested as he added a few more chips to his stack.

Another €25,500 Single-Day High Roller?

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Late last night, Steve O'Dwyer pitched the idea of running another €25,500 Single-Day High Roller. He wanted another version of the event he had just busted from (6th for €124,050), and people seemed up for it.

The tournament organization obliged and just announced the tournament for 2pm today (in about an hour).

A lot of the high rollers here in Prague, are still in the Main Event, so we'll have to see if this event takes off. If it does, we'll stop by for coverage right here. If not, there's always the chance it runs tomorrow as the staff is very flexible. Check back in an hour to see who's giving it (another) go.

Antonin Teisseire Eliminated

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

France's Antonin Teisseire won a World Series of Poker bracelet back in 2011 in the $5,000 No Limit Hold'em - Triple Chance event. He will not be adding an EPT Main Event title to his resume.

Starting a hand with about 20,000, Teisseire declared himself all in from the big blind and was called by Antonino Venneri who was risking his tournament life. A third player who was initially in the hand, got out of the way and turned over {7-}{7-} as the cards flew into the muck.

Teisseire: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Venneri: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Teisseire was unable to get help from the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} board and was down to just four big blinds after the hand and was eliminated a couple of hands later.

Pavon Doubles Through Loosli

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dorian Rios Pavon bet 6,000 from the cutoff after Sylvain Loosli checked to him on a flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}, and the Frenchman proceeded to shove all in. Pavon snap-called with kings and was good against the jacks of the former November Niner. The board ran out {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Pavon doubled through.
