"Crazy Table 13" Without Le Touche

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Philippe Le Touche
Philippe Le Touche

Philippe Le Touche had been up to more than 600,000 in level 12, but was spotted walking out of the tournament area. Was he taking a break? He had no hurry to return to his seat and a quick look at table 13 revealed another player in the seat of the former dominating chip leader.

"He is gone, but his chips are still here. Crazy table 13," Nikola Trajanov said. Trajanov and Renjun Yang are the two chip leaders there now and Trajanov chopped with Giuseppe Carbotti when both showed {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} in the showdown, the flop already secured the split pot.

Schemion Wins a Big One Against Lampropulos

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

One limp was followed by a raise to 10,000 by Maria Lampropulos at the end of the previous level and Ole Schemion called in the big blind, the limper folded.

Schemion checked the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Lampropulos checked behind. A bet of 21,500 by Schemion followed on the {2-Clubs} turn and Lampropulos came along to face another bet of 61,500 on the {9-Diamonds} river. Lampropulos was sent into the think tank for more than three minutes and she then called for about half her remaining stack.

Schemion flipped over {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and won the pot. "I wanted to fold, but couldn't," Lampropulos replied.
