Updated Counts Secondary Room; Felicio Arrives in Barcelona

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Brazilian Roberly Felicio, who won the $565 COLOSSUS for a staggering amount of $1,000,000 earlier this summer in Las Vegas at the WSOP, is in the secondary room.

During the heads-up, Felicio spiked a crucial three-outer on the river to claim the title in a pot for nearly all the chips in play, which became an instant classic hand. Felicio spoke with PokerNews about his memorable victory afterwards.

Aces vs Aces featuring Will Kassouf

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
William Kassouf in action earlier at EPT Barcelona
William Kassouf in action earlier at EPT Barcelona

Giulio Mascolo raised to 1,000 on the button and Will Kassouf - quieter than usual - called in the small blind. Jean Zaffran three-bet to 3,500 from the big blind. Mascolo then four-bet to 8,500.

Kassouf surveyed his opponents - still not saying a word - before folding. Zaffran counted out his stack, looked at his opponent's stack before five-betting to 18,500 with barely 5,000 behind. Mascolo moved all in and Zaffran called.

Giulio Mascolo: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Jean Zaffran: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Kassouf burst into life.

"*Les noix de coco!" he said joyously to Frenchman Zaffran. "Any sweats about?"

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} with Mascolo needing running diamonds to eliminate Zaffran. Luckily for Zaffran the board completed {4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and left Zaffran relieved and Kassouf annoyed he didn't see more fireworks.

"**Où est le diamond, diamond?" he said to Zaffran, but whether Zaffran understood Kassouf's French accent or not, Zaffran could only shrug in response.

*The coconuts
** Where is the diamond, diamond?

Glaser Calls Down Kovalyuk; Up to 70k

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Benny Glaser limped under the gun and got three calls before Franck Makaci raised to 1,400 from the big blind. Glaser called, as did Mikhail Kovalyuk and the three saw a {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop.

Makaci bet 800 and Glaser raised to 2,800. Kovalyuk called and Makaci folded.

The turn was the {4-Spades}. Glaser check-called 3,200 from Kovalyuk. The river was the {k-Hearts} and Glaser checked again, and Kovalyuk bet 7,000. Glaser tank-called and Kovalyuk showed {7-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a missed straight draw.

Glaser showed {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a missed flush draw, but more importantly a pair of eights and he took down the pot.

Deinum Putting the Screws on Belov

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

There was already a substantial amount of chips in the pot between Daniel Belov (small blind) and Foeke Deinum (early position) when action was on the latter on an {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board. Deinum settled on a bet of 11,000 and Belov called.

The river brought the {J-Spades} and Belov checked again. Deinum moved all in for 31,100 total, more than Belov's remaining stack, and after two minutes, the Estonian folded with much displeasure.
