Obara Powers Through Saout

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Antoine Saout opened to 240,000 on the button with the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Jun Obara three-bet to 980,000 out of the big blind with the {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The initial raiser called and that led them to the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop. Obara continued for 230,000 into a pot of more than 2 million and Saout folded the superior hand.

Last Break of the Day

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Players are heading on a 30-minute break before playing the final planned level of the night.

Five players remain. They will return to blind levels of 100,000/150,000 with a 150,000 big blind ante.

Level: 31

Blinds: 100,000/150,000

Pilhofer Doubles Through Saccucci

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Istvan Pilhofer
Istvan Pilhofer

Parker Talbot raised to 300,000 with the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Antoine Saout three-bet to 800,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} in the cutoff, forcing out all players behind.

Jordan Saccucci then faced an open raise to 350,000 by Istvan Pilhofer and verified the stack size of his opponent before he opted to flat-call on the button. The flop brought {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} and Pilhofer bet 300,000, Saccucci raised to 700,000 before his opponent snap-jammed for 3,925,000.

Saccucci asked for an exact count and then burned through several time bank extensions before making the very reluctant call.

Istvan Pilhofer: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Jordan Saccucci: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Pilhofer was ahead with the overpair against top pair and top kicker. Nothing changed on the {2-Hearts} turn and {2-Spades} river as the Hungarian put a dent into the stack of chip leader Saccucci.

Obara Caught With a Move by Pilhofer

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jun Obara raised to 300,000 from under the gun with the {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Istvan Pilhofer came along in the big blind with {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

The {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop brought a check by Pilhofer, who then called a min-bet worth 150,000 by Obara. Pilhofer checked again the {9-Hearts} turn and Obara made it 575,000 to go which led to a call by his opponent.

The {9-Diamonds} river paired the board and Pilhofer bet just 325,000 into a pot of 2,300,000. Obara was having another idea and raised it up to 875,000 to get snapped off by Pilhofer, who raked in another seizable pot.

Some Chips for Obara; Aces for Saout

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Istvan Pilhofer limped the small blind with {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Jun Obara checked the {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} in the big blind. The {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop was bet for 200,000 by Pilhofer and Obara called. They checked the {5-Clubs} turn and {4-Diamonds} river as Obara got a few chips back.

Parker Talbot then folded the {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} from under the gun with a stack of 11 blinds. Antoine Saout raised to 350,000 in the cutoff with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Jordan Saccucci called from the big blind with the {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Saccucci folded to a bet worth 425,000.

Jun Obara raised to 725,000 on the button with the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Jordan Saccucci flat-called in the small blind- Parker Talbot then pushed all-in for 1,500,000 in the big blind and Obara sigh-folded while Saccucci called.

Parker Talbot: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Jordan Saccucci: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop left Talbot with just one out as a king had been folded preflop. There was no miracle on the {q-Clubs} turn and {5-Spades} river as Talbot recorded his best EPT Main Event finish but came up short of victory. His fifth place is rewarded with a payday of €278,450 and the action for Day 5 has concluded.
