Michaelis Looking For Another Win

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Vamshi Vandanapu raised to 15,000 from the button and Paul Michaelis three-bet to 55,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded to Vandanapu who shoved for around 160,000 and Michaelis quickly called.

Vamshi Vandanapu: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Paul Michaelis: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} for Michaelis' pocket sevens to hold to eliminate Vandanapu. This takes the 2018 EPT Prague Main Event champion close to a million in chips, putting him in a perfect position for another deep run.

Lewis Eliminated by Grieco

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Romain Lewis was down to just 45,000 and moved all in under the gun. It folded round to Nicola Grieco in the big blind and he and Lewis had a chuckle as he showed Lewis his cards one at a time..."first one's good" said Grieco with a smile and after double checking how much he had to pay, he announced his call.

Nicola Grieco: {q-Spades}{3-Spades}
Romain Lewis: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}

It was looking good for Lewis after the {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop came out but a {q-Hearts} turn left him with just five outs to stay in the competition. He found no help on the [9] river and made his way to the payouts desk.

Timothy Adams

Timothy Adams raised to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by the player in the lojack. Eusebiu Jalba shoved from the hijack and action folded to Adams who asked for a count.

Eusebiu Jalba: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Timothy Adams: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades} for Adams to eliminate Jalba with the higher pocket pair in his hand.
