Catan Doubles Through Melogno

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Alll the cards were out with {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} on display. Guy Catan had moved all in for 24,500 and the table chip leader Pablo Melogno was the one with a decision to make. He called and turned over a pair of tens with {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, which wasn't enough to beat Catan's top pair jacks with {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. "Champion!" Catan said as he got the much-needed double this close to the bubble.

Zeiter Puts Pressure on Malinowski

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Diego Zeiter opened to 6,500 in the cutoff, Wiktor Malinowski three-bet to 20,000 on the button, Zeiter four-bet to 50,000, and Malinowski called. The flop brought {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Zeiter continued for 34,000, met by a reasonably quick call from the Polish high staker.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and Zeiter moved all in, putting Malinowski for a decision for his final 125,000. He spent quite some time in the tank before open-folding {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

Arsenii Karmatckii (at an earlier event)
Arsenii Karmatckii (at an earlier event)

2018 EPT Sochi winner Arsenii Karmatckii will not be adding a Monegasque flag to his Hendon Mob page today. Left short after the previous clash with Paul-Francois Tedeschi, Karmatckii got it all in for 22,500 in middle position.

Ready to finish what he started, Tedeschi called from the cutoff and Roman Herold called from the small blind. They quickly checked it down on a {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} board.

Karmatckii showed {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Tedeschi {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Herold the winner with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to eliminate the Russian five places before the money.

James Romero
James Romero

Patrik Antonius raised from middle position to 7,000 and James Romero upped the bet from the big blind to 28,000. Antonius called and they saw the {2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop.

Romero continued with a bet of 22,000 and Antonius called again. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Romero made it a bit pricier this time. He bet 70,000 and sent Antonius in the tank. He ended up folding and the chips were pushed to Romero.

Satubayev Crashes Out Before the Money

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Pablo Melogno
Pablo Melogno

The Money bubble is looming and Shyngis Satubayev won't receive a portion of the prize pool. Having registered before the start of Day 2 for his second bullet in the event, Satubayev ran his stack all the way up to 250,000 and just five-bet jammed into Pablo Melogno.

Satubayev had four-bet to 75,000 to force out Massimo Mosele from one seat over and he called the shove of Satubayev with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Satubayev only had {a-}{q-} and the board came {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to leave the Kazakh drawing dead on the turn.

Karmatckii Short on the Bubble

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a completed board of {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} with 50,000 in the middle, Arsenii Karmatckii bet 31,000 with 24,000 behind. Paul-Francois Tedeschi was to act and deep in the think tank. The clock was called on the Frenchman and he was given 30 seconds to act.

Eventually, Tedeschi called and Karmatckii flashed {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a bluff, which Tedeschi had beat with {8-Spades}{7-Spades}.

More for Antonius

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Philippe Narboni opened to 7,000 on the button and Patrik Antonius three-bet to 22,000, which Narboni called with a smile. Antonius bet the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop for 20,000 and Narboni folded.

Sam Grafton lost a portion of his stack when he paid off a full house by an opponent with {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} on the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} river and dropped below the average for the first time in a while.

Adams took his time before electing to pass.
