Ntamaris Calls River

Matt Warburton

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Houssem Meftahi raised to 400 from middle position, Fotios Ntamaris called in the next seat across and the big blind came along.

The flop was dealt A♦7♣7♥ and the big blind checked. Meftahi continued for 300 and only Ntamaris called. Both players then checked it back on the 8♠ turn.

The river came the 3♥ and Meftahi bet 1,700. Ntamaris gave it some thought before making the call. Meftahi flipped over Q♥J♥ and Ntamaris had A♠10♠ for two pair, aces and sevens to win the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The action was caught on the river in a hand between Jan Verner on the button and Karim Abdelmoumene in the big blind.

On a board of Q♦7♥3♦9♣Q♣, there were around 4,000 chips in the middle when Abdelmoumene checked the river and Verner fired 3,200. Abdelmoumene was taking his time to think, but eventually dropped in the call, then mucked when he saw the trips of Verner, who had Q♠J♥.

Yesterday’s Day 1a drew an impressive 466 players to the luxurious Hilton Prague, with Gianfranco Iaculli bagging the chip lead with 294,000 chips. Other strong performances included Gab Yong Kim, who ended the day with a solid 203,000, and Vanessa Kade, finishing with 188,000 chips. With Day 1a already exceeding last year’s numbers, today’s flight could set a new attendance record for the event.
