Two Pots for Siemund

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

A three-way flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} was checked to Peter Siemund and he bet 500 to win the pot, forcing folds from Evaldas Aniulis and Anton Siden.

It was Siden that raised it up to 300 next and Siemund called in the cutoff. They checked the {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop and Siden check-called a bet of 500 on the {4-Diamonds} turn. The {10-Clubs} river brought no betting action and Siden tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, which Siemund had beat wth the {k-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Andrew Hulme in the €1,100 EPT National
Andrew Hulme in the €1,100 EPT National

Over at table 9, Julian Feral was locking horns with Andrew Hulme, with the pair building up a pot to around 20,000 already. The board showed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} and action was on Hulme, who had enough T-5,000 chips in front of him to put Feral to a decision for his final 13,500.

The American, enjoying a massage on the side, mulled over his decision for a bit and then called it off for his tournament life. Hulme showed {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} for the bigger boat, and Feral was forced to reveal {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, playing the board.

The call for a chop didn't work out, cutting Feral's massage short and making him the first player to depart from the Main Event.
