Stankov Busts Compte

Richard Hayes

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

Short-stack Sebastien Compte got his last 6,000 into the middle, and was looked up by Ivan Stankov.

Sebastien Compte: A♦8♣ All in
Ivan Stankov: A♠10♣

Compte's ace was dominated, and although a chop seemed possible, he exited after the K♠5♠6♣K♥9♥ runout, Stankov's better kicker playing.

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

Erik Bauer opened to 3,500 from the button and Antoine Hasbani called from the small blind. Hossein Ensan raised to 20,500, leaving 6,500 behind from the big blind. Bauer called before Hasbani bumped it up to 60,000. Ensan called for his tournament life ahead of Bauer returning his cards to the dealer.

Hossein Ensan: K♦J♦ All in
Antoine Hasbani: A♥A♣

Ensan paired up on the K♥9♦5♥ flop and took the lead with two pair on the J♥ turn. The 10♣ gave him the checkmark, and the EPT champion picked up a nice pot before the break.

Song Busts Steinbrenner

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

Justin Steinbrenner was all-in for around 47,000 having three-bet jammed over an open, but then been looked up by Yunkyu Song behind.

Justin Steinbrenner: Q♥Q♦ All in
Yunkyu Song: A♠K♥

It was the classic race, and the 6♥2♥6♣ flop was clear for Steinbrenner, but the A♦ rolled off on the turn to put Song ahead.

The 3♥ river was not the two-outer Steinbrenner required. He wished the table good luck as he departed.

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

With around 50,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 7♥6♣8♥, Uri Reichenstein fired a bet of 27,000 from the cutoff, and Erik Bauer shoved around 140,000. Reichenstein had about 120,000 remaining in his stack, but elected to fold, which meant Bauer was pushed the pot.

Bauer took down $10,200 No-Limit Hold'em event on the final day of EPT Barcelona last month for a career-best score of €151,400, and also has a cash this series in the Eureka Main Event. With a stack of around 150 big blinds, he sits in a good position right now in the EPT Main Event having boosted his start-of-day start by around 100,000.

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

Darius Gadeikis and Milos Skrbic had escalated a blind-on-blind battle to a pot of 80,000 when the K♥3♦2♣K♠ turn was dealt.

Gadeikis checked to Skrbic, who fired 25,000. Gadeikis then jammed all in, covering the 100,000 Skrbic had remaining. Skrbic spent some time in the tank but eventually folded to leave himself an average stack.
