Yaroshevskyy Doubles in a Flip

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Marius Enebakk opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Nimrod Mualem flat-called from middle position before Igor Yaroshevskyy moved all in for 16,000 on the button. Enebakk glanced over to Mualem's stack and called, while the latter folded {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} face up.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Marinus Enebakk: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The flop fell {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Yaroshevskyy was drawing to two outs only. Sure enough, the {7-Hearts} appeared right away on the turn and the blank {6-Spades} river let the 11th place finisher of yesterday's €25,500 Single-Day High Roller double. "I am the best," Mualem said.

Bryan Paris Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Bryan "bparis" Paris might be best known for playing online poker tournaments with almost $10 million in cashes according to PocketFives.com where he is listed with the third most in internet poker history. Paris also has over $700,000 in live tournament cashes according to The Hendon Mob, however, he won't be adding to that total with the EPT Prague Main Event.

Paris had a rough go most of the day and saw his stack of 30,500 cut in half. He then was all in from the blinds with {10-}{10-} against an opponent who was holding {J-}{10-}. The flop came {A-}{K-}{X-} adding more outs to his opponent drawing to a nut-straight if a queen appeared on the turn or river.

The {Q-} completed the straight for Paris' opponent and after the river was a blank, Paris packed up his things and left the tournament room to join his family. Paris shared on his way out the door that he planned to join in on the two-day €2,200 EPT side which kicks off at 4 p.m. local time.

Palma Wins Battle of North American Circuit Regs

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Nicholas Palma three-bet to 8,000 from middle position after Ari Engel opened to 3,000 under the gun and got one caller. Engel dropped in a four-bet and Palma wasted no time before jamming for 35,100.

"At least it's going to you if I bust," Palma said with a smile.

Engel called with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} but was behind Palma's {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, leaving Engel dead on the turn. He sent the chips to his familiar opponent — both players are regular faces in events around the U.S.

Souprayenmestry Doubles

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jean Souprayenmestry was all in from early position for just under 60,000, and an opponent in the small blind who three-bet him decided to make the call with jacks. Souprayenmestry tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and needed help. The {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop didn't bring any but the turn paired Souprayenmestry for a double.

Schulz Cracks Derwiche's Aces

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Soon after coming back from the break, Imad Derwiche raised to 4,000 from early position with around 20,000 behind and Robert Schulz three-bet to 12,000. Jerry Odeen called in the big blind and Derwiche then shoved before Schulz reraised to 35,000. Odeen gave it some consideration, while Derwiche stood up from his seat and started jogging. Odeen then folded and the cards were tabled.

Imad Derwiche: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Robert Schulz: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Odeen sighed, said in table chat he had pocket queens. On the {2-Diamonds} turn, nothing changed, but the {K-Hearts} on the river gave Schulz a full house and Derwiche was done for the day.

Laubert is not from Saint Martin

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After a raise from early position by Ismael Bojang and a call by Tobias Laubert from two seats over, Vitezslav Cech came along in the big blind and checked the flop of {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The action checked to Laubert, who bet 4,000. Only Cech called, while Bojang folded. On the {8-Hearts} turn, Cech checked again and then folded to a bet worth 14,000 by Laubert.

While the German raked in the pot, Mihai Manole in the two seat asked if Laubert was from Saint Martin. "Nice island," he added and Laubert smiled back. The table by itself is already quite interesting, but Thomas Muehloecker's monster stack was moved over there too and the Austrian admitted he had just lost one hand since coming over.
