Jan Heitmann Tells us About His First EPT During Season 1

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jan Heitmann told us the story behind his first ever European Poker Tour event, which was the first Grand Final in Monte Carlo. The tournament was ultimately won by Rob Hollink, who coincidentally knocked Heitmann out on Day 1.

Right now Heitmann's still alive on Day 4 with high hopes of finally getting his first EPT Main Event victory.

Thorn In Kitai’s Side

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Vladimir Novitckii seems to be interfering with Davidi Kitai’s game plan. He is sat to the direct left of the Belgian and has been getting involved frequently when Kitai opens the action.

Kitai opened to 32,000 and Novitckii called him. With the blinds getting out of the way they went to a flop of {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. They both checked to see a turn card {6-Spades} and when Kiati checked a small bet from Novitckii saw Kitai give his neighbour a stare and slide his cards forward.

On the next hand Kitai opened again for 32,000 and this time Novitckii raised to 76,000. A more unhappy stare from Kitai followed and when the action got back round to him Kitai folded and said, I folded a big hand. Pocket tens.”

“You folded pocket tens?” Robin Ylitalo asked in surprise.

Kitai laughed and shook his head.
