Chen Takes it on the River

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Pete Chen, back on his second bullet, has added to his stack after taking a pot on the river. Chen was playing against two opponents, one of which was Ivan Deyra who had position on him with the {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop already down and another opponent sat in the blinds.

It checked to Deyra who made it 1,500 to play and both the player in the blinds and Chen came along. On the {9-Spades} turn, there was no further betting and the three headed to the river. An {8-Diamonds} came out and when checked to, Chen bet 4,000, which was enough to take it down without showdown.

Speranza and Akkari Take a Hit

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

On the heads-up turn of {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Gianluca Speranza in the hijack checked and Sebastian Von Toperczer moved all in for 14,500 on the button. Speranza, who is already on the second bullet of the day, gave it some thought and sent his cards into the muck.

Andre Akkari also had to forfeit some chips one table over. He bet the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} turn for 7,100 on the button and his opponent in the hijack check-called. The 510c] river was checked and Akkari mucked when his opponent flashed {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the straight.

Antonius Below Starting Stack

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius

According to Sonny Franco, Patrik Antonius lost a big pot as Giovanni Rosadoni from one seat over doubled through him.

Antonius fell below the starting stack and raised it up to 900. Rosadoni called, the button raised to 4,200 and Andrei Konopelko flat-called in the big blind. All other players including Antonius folded and the flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades} was checked. Konopelko bet the {3-Hearts} turn for 5,000 and that won the pot.

EPT Monte Carlo: Charlie Carrel Grows Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Charlie Carrel
Charlie Carrel

For a “former professional poker player” (and former garish dresser), Charlie Carrel has been putting on a stellar display so far at EPT Monte Carlo, final tabling three high rollers in a row for more than half a million euros.

But if it’s not poker, what does Carrel now consider his job? And what does he make of the current high roller world he’s still a crusher in? We caught up with him during his epic Monaco run to find out.

Click here to read the rest of this article by Jack Stanton at the PokerStars Blog.

Toma Short on Second Bullet

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Four ways to the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, action checked to Alexandre Reard on the button and he made it 1,000 to go. Tsugunari Toma check-raised to 3,200 in the under-the-gun position and Reard was the only caller. The {2-Diamonds} turn paired the board for the second time and Toma checked.

Reard made it 2,900 to go and that won the pot right there.

Felipe Ramos
Felipe Ramos

With the board reading {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Tom-Aksel Bedell was all in for his final 7,000 and Felipe Ramos was considering it for the vast majority of his remaining stack. He ultimately called it off.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Felipe Ramos: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Bedell had fifteen outs coming into the river but whiffed all of them when the {a-Spades} got dealt.

"Nice call," Scott Wellenbach said to Ramos.
