Camarda over Domjan

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The flop read {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} with around 2,000 in the middle already.

David Domjan had checked in the big blind and Salvatore Camarda bet 1,200 from the hijack. June Jenkins opted to fold her button while Domjan made the call.

They both checked through the {2-Spades} on the turn to the {4-Diamonds} on the river on which they both checked again. The dealer instructed Domjan to table his cards first, showing {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the missed gutshot straight draw. Camarda managed to claim the pot with {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} for the pair of deuces on the board with the ace-kicker.

Small One for Kitsios

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Georgios Kitsios raised to 900 from the hijack and was only called by Aylar Lie in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Lie now checked and Kitsios continued with a bet of 800. Lie took a few seconds and then folded.

Shortly after, Timur Margolin took his seat at the same table in between Alexandre Fradin and Kitsios.

Some More Players

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Some more familiar faces have joined the field, including Dominique Terzian who finished in eighth place last year and Jean Rene Fontaine who won the EPT Barcelona National in 2018 for €547,000.

Hansen Shoves on Huang

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

The board read {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} with around 9,000 in the middle already. The floor was called over for the clock with Wei Huang having a bet of 7,600 in front of him. Mattias Hansen had gone all-in for more and Huang has apparently tanked long enough for the clock to have been called on him.

While the floor counted down from five, Huang reluctantly folded. The dealer pushed the pot Hansen's way and Huang claimed to have folded a flush on which Hansen commented that that was a big fold then.

Lucky Ladies?

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

With the field up to 92 players, two ladies are in the field. June Jenkins has been seated in the tournament from almost the start while Aylar Lie has just taken her seat on the same tables as Kalidou Sow.

Sow Sits Down

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Kalidou Sow
Kalidou Sow

The newly minted PokerStars Team Pro from France, Kalidou Sow, has taken his seat amongst the 85 players that are showing on the tournament clock.

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 300 and Sow decided to three-bet to 900 from the cutoff. David Domjan called on the button while the blinds and the initial raiser all folded.

The flop came down {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts} on which they both checked through to the {10-Clubs} on the turn on which they did the same.

The river completed the board with the {4-Diamonds} and now Sow bet 1,600. Domjan considered his options for a few seconds, cut out calling chips and then decided to make the call. Sow tabled {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the flopped pair of sixes which he improved to two pair on the river and that was enough for Domjan to muck his hand.

Hrayr Grigoryan
Hrayr Grigoryan

The board read {4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} with around 11,000 in the middle already.

Hrayr Grigoryan had checked in the big blind while Laurent Torres had a big bet of 8,400 in front of him on the button. Grigoryan tanked for a while, counting out his own stack before opting to call.

Torres showed {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the bluff for Grigoryan to scoop the pot with {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} as he had made two pair.
