Leonard Maue Bubbles the €10,300 EPT High Roller

Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jon Kyte opened 20,000 in middle position and Leonard Maue three-bet to 55,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Kyte who made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♠J♥9♥, and Kyte checked to Maue as he jammed for roughly 200,000. Kyte snap-called.

Leonard Maue: A♣A♠ All in
Jon Kyte: 10♦8♥

It was a disastrous flop for Maue as Kyte flopped a straight. The K♥ turn gave Maue a glimmer of hope with a gutshot straight draw, but the A♦ river wasn't the card he needed, leaving him as the stone bubble of the high roller.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On the first hand after the bubble burst, Sergi Miralles moved all in for 130,000 under the gun and Hannes Jeschka reshoved in middle position. There was some confusion around the table about whether Jeschka had said all in. "You decide what you want," Hady El Asmar said, and Jeschka declared his intentions by slamming the all-in button down in front of him. The rest of the table folded.

Sergi Miralles: A♣K♦ All in
Hannes Jeschka: Q♥Q♣

Jeschka hit top set on the Q♠J♦9♦ flop while Miralles was left looking to complete a straight draw. The turn was the K♠, while the J♥ river improved Jeschka to a full house and sent Miralles off to the payout desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a limped pot between the blinds, Malcolm Franchi bet 12,000 on a flop of 6♥5♥K♦ and Saymon Dias raised to 34,000. Franchi called and the Q♥ fell on the turn.

Dias then bet 55,000 and Franchi again called. The river was the A♦ and Dias moved all in for 307,000.

Franchi spent a few minutes in the tank as he leaned over the table staring across at Dias. He eventually called and Dias showed J♥8♠ for a bluff. Franchi turned over K♥10♠ for a pair of kings to win the massive pot and send Dias to the rail.
