Jacquelyn Scott Going for the Kill in her First European Poker Tour Event

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jacquelyn Scott
Jacquelyn Scott

Jacquelyn Scott is not exactly what her opponents expect when they see her sitting at the poker table, and she's quite okay with that. The 2015 WSOP Ladies Event winner has been able to capitalize on her image, and is having a blast in the process here at her first EPT event ever at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour festival.

“Being a woman, and being my age, you’re always going to be underestimated. That’s been a real advantage for me this tournament.”

There were some constants on Day 2 of the €1,100 French National Championship, among them, Jacquelyn Scott cracking jokes and stacking chips.

Her opponents will be sorely mistaken and may pay dearly - in chips - for their error if they think Scott is clueless, or weak, or afraid of them.

Sam Higgs raised to 210,000 from early position, Jack Sinclair three-bet shoved 1,140,000 from middle position, and Higgs decided to call it off after some consideration.

Jack Sinclair: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Sam Higgs: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The 2018 WSOPE Main Event champ found himself in a good spot to become a contender at the final table but the poker gods decided otherwise. Higgs spiked a nine during the {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} runout to send Sinclair to the rail in ninth place.

Dennis Schienagel Eliminated in 10th Place (€14,800)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dennis Schienagel
Dennis Schienagel

In a three-bet pot between Ermah Cakmak and Dennis Schienagel, the flop came down {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Cakmak checked and Schienagel simply ripped it in for 1,700,000, more than the size of the pot.

Cakmak gave it a brief moment but called it off to put the German at risk.

Dennis Schienagel: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Ermah Cakmak: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Cakmak held the nut flush draw with an overcard and it would be the latter that would do Schienagel in. The {a-Diamonds} turn and {a-Spades} river improved the Frenchman to the winner and made Schienagel the FT bubble.

Morgan Aceto

Mario Mosböck raised from middle position and Morgan Aceto peeled a flop from the big blind from an 8 big blind stack. The {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board got checked down to the river where Aceto decided to shove his remaining seven bigs in.

Mosböck snapped him off with the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Aceto, who holds both the Italian and French nationality, showed the inferior {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to end his run in 11th place.

Daniel Ghionoiu Eliminated in 12th Place (€13,200)

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Daniel Ghionoiu
Daniel Ghionoiu

Shortly after doubling through Yota Mitsui, Daniel Ghionoiu got involved in another pot with his Japanese adversary. After defending his big blind and check-calling the {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Ghionoiu led out for 500,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn, which Mitsui called.

The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Ghionoiu shoved all in for 1,650,000, followed by an instant call from Mitsui.

Ghionoiu showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for the turned set of sixes, but Mitsui slapped the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} open for the nut flush. He had the Canadian covered and the latter whipped out his camera to capture the board before bowing out in 12th.

Daniel Ghionoiu raised to 130,000 from under the gun and Sam Higgs called from the cutoff. Artur Martirosian three-bet shoved 1,220,000 on the button, Ghionoiu folded, and Higgs called after thirty seconds.

Artur Martirosian: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Sam Higgs: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Martirosian was miles ahead but trailed Higgs after the {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, accompanied by a "holy f*ck" from Ghionoiu. Neither the {9-Spades} turn nor {8-Clubs} river could turn it back around, ending the Russian's bid in 13th place.

Dennis Schienagel limped in middle position, Arnaud Enselme shoved 345,000 on the button, Sam Higgs called from the big blind, and Schienagel called as well.

On the {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, Higgs shook Schienagel out with a bet to get it heads-up to showdown.

Arnaud Enselme: {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Sam Higgs: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Corentin Ropert was cheering on his friend on the rail, but the help from the EPT Prague 25k winner proved of no avail as the {4-Clubs} turn and {9-Hearts} river ended the young French's attempt in 15th place.
