Assorted Counts in the Field

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Marques Loses Some; Remains Above Average

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

It has been a good day at the office for Portuguese poker pro Pedro Marques so far, as he finished second in the €2,200 Eureka High Roller after cutting a deal. While missing out on the trophy, the deep run was worth another six-figure score and the former EPT Main Event finalist is also off to a good start on Day 1b as well.

Omer Gabay just took a small chunk out of Marques' stack when he check-called the {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} river for 5,500. Marques flashed the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Gabay had the superior pair with the {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Christoforou Takes from Kuziv with Top Pair

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,800 and Andreas Christoforou called from the next seat over. Ivan Kuziv three-bet to 6,800 from the button and the original raiser in middle position got out of the way.

Christoforou called and the flop was {8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Both players checked and the turn was {9-Spades}.

Kuziv fired 4,000 at the turn and Christoforu called.

The river was {5-Spades} and both players checked. Kuziv turned over {q-}{q-}, but Andreas Christoforou had {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to take the pot with a pair of aces.

Double Knockout for Evans

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

"Poker can be so easy," Jerome Evans said with a big grin on the face. He had just picked up the perfect timing to find aces as two shorter stacks in Ji Zhang and Vlado Banicevic got their stacks in for the following showdown.

Ji Zhang: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Vlado Banicevic: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Jerome Evans: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Nothing at all changed on the {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board as the aces held to eliminate two opponents. The floor was then called as the eight-handed table only had five players left, since Frederik Brink had also departed not long ago.

Hanna Gets Some Chips Back

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

No showdown would follow as Bonnant sent his cards into the muck.
