Qu Gone

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Eric Qu opened from the cut-off for 17,000 and then called a 37,000 three bet from Daniel Carlsson on the button. The blinds folded and it was heads up.

The flop was {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and a check from Qu saw Carlsson bet 30,000 and then call when Qu shoved.

Qu was dumbfounded when he saw his {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} was in big trouble versus the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Carlsson.

The turn {7-Diamonds} and river {2-Clubs} send Qu to the rail.

"ElkY" Shaking His Head

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Bertrand Grospellier opened for 17,000 under the gun and found one player behind him shoving for 110,000 total. Action folded back to Grospellier who instantly called.

Grospellier: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Grospellier would flop top pair and top kicker, but the other two community cards made that Grospellier was behind pretty far: {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

After the {2-Clubs} on the turn Grospellier had just a chop to hope for, but wouldn't even get that: {5-Diamonds} on the river.

The French Team Pro somewhat angrily handed over the tower of 5,000's, and slammed his hand down on his remaining stack, which resulted in a bit of a messy pile of chips in front of him. Grospellier heavily shook his head, clearly not happy with how things were going lately.

Peretti Doubles Through Chevrier

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Joining the action on the turn of a {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} board, Yannick Chevrier bet 22,000 and then called the all in of Pierre Peretti for 53,000 in total with {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades}. The queen-high straight was no good, as Peretti turned over {Q-Spades} {K-Clubs} for the higher straight and the {J-Clubs} river changed nothing with regards to the outcome of the hand.

Two in a Row for MacPhee

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Immediately following the previous hand, Kevin MacPhee and Marton Czuczor clashed in a preflop all in that saw the latter at risk for approximately 130,000.

MacPhee showed {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and was up against Czuczor's {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Members of the table let out gasps when the saw the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop hit the table, giving Czuczor a commanding position in the hand with trip aces.

MacPhee picked up some outs, however, when the {Q-Hearts} dropped down on the turn. In the end, he was able to make his heart flush after the {2-Hearts} drilled the river to eliminate Czuczor from play. That makes two eliminations in a row for MacPhee who is now sitting on 1.3 million in chips.

MacPhee Eliminates Slusarek

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We arrived on the scene to find Patryk Slusarek all in and at risk against Kevin MacPhee for his last roughly 165,000. The hands were tabled to find MacPhee in a dominating position.

Slusarek: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
MacPhee: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}, keeping MacPhee's cowboys out in front. Slusarek made his way to the rail and MacPhee increased his stack to about 1.17 million.

Darcourt Trips In to A Pot

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Guillaume Darcourt checked it over to Yannick Chevrier who was on the button and he bet 41,000 before Darcourt made the call.

The turn card was the {10-Spades} and another check from Darcourt saw a 44,000 bet from Chevrier. Again Darcourt made the call.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and Darcourt checked for the final time. A bet of 70,000 this time from Chevrier and one last call from Darcourt.

Chevrier shrugged and reluctantly turned over his {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and both players sighed, but for very different reasons, when Darcourt tabled {j-Spades}{10-Hearts} for trips.

Lebaron Hits the Rail

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We caught the tail end of an all-in confrontation where a short-stacked Sebastian Lebaron was all in for his last 14,000 against four opponents. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and all three active players checked to see the {A-Spades} on the turn. Owain Carey fired out a bet, the two other players folded, and the hands were revealed.

Carey: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Lebaron: {7-Spades}{2-Spades}

The {5-Diamonds} finished off the board and Lebaron was sent packing.

Joep van den Bijgaart's Limit Hold'em Secrets

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

During the €1,000 Limit Hold'em Championship at EPT Deauville we caught up with WSOP and EPT finalist Joep van den Bijgaart. The Dutchman explained how Limit Hold'em is a dying game, but if you want to give him some action he's always up for a game.

Sekularac Shows

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Two players faced off over a decent sized pot on the river of a board showing {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Ognjen Sekularac was in the big blind and checked it over to Alexander Tikhoniouk who bet 25,000.

Sekularac gave him a bit of a stare down before check-raising to 58,000. Tikhoniouk threw his hand away and Sekularac decided to flip his cards over as the pot was pushed to him. Stone cold {6-Hearts}{5-Spades} bluff.

Rabsz Takes Nassar's Chips

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Joining the action with a board of {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts} already being complete, Milan Tomasz Rabsz made a bet of 120,000 and Firas Nassar check-raised all in for what looked like 170,000 or-so chips. Rabsz took a few moments before making the call and tabled his {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for the baby flush. Nassar tossed his now meaningless {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} to the dealer and then headed to the payout desk.
