Rezaei Gives Up the Charade on the River

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Rezaei raised it up from early position and was called by Julien Mariani on his left. The two players went heads-up to the flop of {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Rezaei continued with a bet of 3,500 and Mariani raised to 10,000. Rezaei responded with a re-raise to 28,500 and Mariani called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Rezaei put together another bet of 31,000. Mariani called and the {q-Spades} landed on the river. Rezaei checked this time and Mariani slid out a bet of 57,500. Rezaei quickly dumped his cards and Mariani dragged in a healthy pot.

Losev Successfully Jams Up the Stack

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Iraj Parvizi was among the Day 2 entries and quickly tripled up his stack before he just now suffered a small setbck. The Brit open-raised to 4,000 in the cutoff and Ramon Colillas caled on the button. Alexey Losev three-bet to 20,000 in the big blind and Parvizi quickly called.

The {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop brought a continuation bet worth 11,000 by Losev and Parvizi came along to the {9-Diamonds} turn. Losev now mulled over his move for a good two minutes and played around with a small coin before pushing for what appeared to be 51,000. Parvizi quickly folded and Losev raked in the pot.

Coren Mitchell Eliminated by Andrian

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Vicky Coren
Vicky Coren

The action started with a button raise to 4,000 by Jonathon Genovese Darling and Victoria Coren Mitchell then pushed for what appeared to be 35,000 in the small blind. Simone Andrian moved all-in over the top from the big blind and the initial raiser folded.

Victoria Coren Mitchell: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Simone Andrian: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"Hallelujah ... good luck," Patrik Antonius in the one seat said upon seeing the bad news for the two-time EPT Main Event winner.

Nothing at all changed on the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board and Coren Mitchell wished all opponents a nice day before heading out of the Salle des Etoiles.

Gamboa Doubles; Kamphues Busts

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Lars Kamphues
Lars Kamphues

Benjamin Spragg raised to 3,500 and Quilcate Gamboa pushed for 26,000 in the small blind. Claas Segebrecht called in the big blind and Spragg folded.

Quilcate Gamboa: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Claas Segebrecht: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board delivered the ace for Gamboa to double. Christopher Frank had ran over to the table in order to witness the showdown and sighed "never lucky" to his compatriot Segebrecht.

Shortly after, Lars Kamphues raised and Alain Goldberg three-bet to 11,000 from two seats over. Kamphues moved all-in for around 32,000 and was called by Goldberg with the slightly superior stack.

Lars Kamphues: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Alain Goldberg: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The most classic flip in poker ended the tournament for Kamphues on the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board as Goldberg flopped trips and rivered a full house for good measure.

Kolonias Doubles Through Cohen

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Wheeler patted himself on the back for a good fold as Lucien Cohen had to part ways with 44,000 in order to pay off Alexandros Kolonias. The latter had been behind preflop with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} but got there on the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} board to crack the {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} of Cohen for the double.
