2015 PokerStars.fr EPT Season 11 Deauville
The final board was ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Davidi Kitai bet 12,500 into a pot of around 15,000.
Amir Mozaffarian responded with a shove for close to 40,000 and Kitai started to stare him down and fire some questions.
“Did you receive the flush? Is it a bluff?” Kitai asked, and finally, “Show if I fold?”
A few minutes ticked by while Kitai went through what his opponent could have. In the end Kitai did make the fold and asked to be shown a bluff. Mozaffarian did indeed turn over the ![]()
and Kitai was kicking himself, but not for folding what the other players thought he had.
“I had queen high. “ Kitai said to laughter from the table. “Almost did it. Best queen high possible.”
Kitai has a history of making some spectacular hero calls, but in this case he just couldn’t pull the trigger.

After losing some chips on the second bullet, Ramin Hajiyev has been moved to the most entertaining table with Artem Litvinov. After a min-raise to 1,200 Hajiyev flatted, one further player and Litvinov did so as well. Vladimir Novitckii then squeezed to 14,600 and Hajiyev moved all in. Neither player was interested to look him up, thus the chips went to Hajiyev.

Everybody that has had Artem Litvinov on their tournament table already will know how eccentric the Russian can be.
Just now Marcin Wydrowski min-raised to 1,200 from under the gun and Litvinov called without looking at his cards. "No look, I call," he said and the whole table started giggling already.
On the
flop he check-called a bet of 2,000, still without looking at his cards. "Okay, one time call." Now on the
turn he checked and Wydrowski bet 3,325. "Good card. Low card. Good for me." Litvinov then peeked at one of his cards and said "first card flush draw, promise," pointing at the card he had just looked at. The second card was still unknown to everyone including the Russian. He made the call and saw the
on the river.
Wydrowski asked for the stack of his opponent and then bet 8,500 while the Russian started begging "no no no no please". Litvinov then checked his second card and then started talking to himself. In table chat he went through all possible hands that his opponent may have and was certain that Wydrowski wouldn't be bluff. "I know you. You not bluff, my friend."
Ultimately, he tossed in the chips and Wydrowski turned over
for a busted flush draw. Litvinov jumped up, started dancing and singing while smashing his
to the middle of the table. He even asked the dealer if he could touch her and then gave a massage. "Good dealer, very good dealer." Litvinov said and eventually sat down some time later.

After a raise to 1,200, Martin Staszko moved all in for 13,700 and was called by both Alex Goulder as well as Piotr Franczak. On the
flop Goulder bet 10,000 and was called by Franczak before the
on the turn got checked through. After a
river, Goulder moved all in to enforce a fold from Franczak and then flipped over pocket aces. Staszko could only reveal pocket sixes and headed out of the tournament area.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy is on his second bullet and he just ran in to a tough sport versus Alex Goulder.
On the turn of a board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
Goulder bet 11,025 into a pot of around 15,000. Troyanovskiy took a little while to make the call from the small blind.
The river card was the
and Troyanovskiy checked again only to see Goulder move all in. Calling would mean putting most of the rest of his stack in and Troyanovskiy went deep in the tank before glumly folding.
