Molnar Raises Turn; Vayssieres Leads River

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Nicolas Vayssieres
Nicolas Vayssieres

Ariel Sebban opened to 1,000 from middle positon and was called by Nicolas Vayssieres and Laszlo Molnar from the cutoff and the button. Fatih Aydin and Frits de Boer also called from the blinds.

So, it was five-ways to the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop and action checked through to the {5-Hearts} turn. De Boer led out for 2,400 which folded out Sebban. Vayssieres called and then Molnar made it 9,200. Aydin quickly folded and De Boer followed suit but Vayssieres called again.

The {2-Diamonds} river completed the board and Vayssiers led out for 10,100. Molnar toyed with his stack before calling.

Vayssieres tabled his {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the nut flush and Molnar mucked.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ian Drake
Ian Drake

Ian Drake shoved his last 14,500 Timo Kamphues jammed his stack of 50,000 to isolate. An original raiser got out of the way and action was heads-up with Drake at risk.

Ian Drake: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Timo Kamphues: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Kamphues held on with aces to send Drake to the rail as Level 4 nears its end.

Kamel Coolers Lopes Out Of Main Event

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bruno Lopes
Bruno Lopes

There was around 35,000 in the pot on the {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} completed board, with Tamer Kamel and Bruno Lopes heads-up on the river.

Kamel jammed for around 20,000 from under the gun and Lopes, who had around 15,000, snap-called for his tournament life.

"Wow," exclaimed Lopes as he saw Kamel's {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}, which was good for a full house, tens full of jacks.

Lopes had nines full of tens, as he turned over his {9-}{9-} before exiting the Main Event in dramatic fashion.

A Few New Faces and Some Chip Stack Updates

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Kollatos Gets the Better of Jordan

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was 5,000 in the pot on the {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, with four players active. Yann Brosolo and Mats Ullereng checked from under the gun and the hijack, respectively. Stylianos Kollatos bet 4,000 from the cutoff and was only called by Terry Jordon, who was on his direct left.

Kollatos fired for 15,000 on the {q-Diamonds} turn and Jordan quickly called. The {6-Spades} completed the board and Kollatos continued for another 10,000. Jordon was surprised by the bet but he eventually folded.

Kozieja Misses Everything to Bust

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The all-in triangle was in front of Grzegorz Kozieja, who was at risk of elimination. He had jammed for 20,200 from middle position after Bogdan Munteanu had bet 5,500 on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop from the big blind. Munteanu wasn't thrilled about the spot but called anyway.

Grzegorz Kozieja: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Bogdan Munteanu: {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Surprisingly both players had jack-high, but Kozieja was the slight favorite as he had an open-ended straight flush draw. Munteanu was behind, but had a double-gutter to the straight himself.

The {6-Hearts} turn completed the bigger stacks straight and had Kozieja on the verge of busting out. The {9-Spades} was of no help to the at risk player and he quickly left the table.

Lewis Gets Away From One

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Acton was heads up with 3,400 in the middle and {4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} on the board when Romain Lewis checked from the big blind. Joao Rocha bet 800 and called when Lewis raised to 3,000.

The turn was {6-Clubs} and Lewis checked. Rocha fired 3,200 and the three-time EPT winner tossed his hand in the muck.
