The River Saves Kitai

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Former EPT Berlin winner Davidi Kitai just knocked out a player in the early goings and after seeing the showdown he recapped the action for us.

A player raised to 500 after which Jordan Dimitrov called from Kitai's right. The Belgium pro three-bet to 1,800 and the initial raiser folded after which Dimitrov called.

The flop brought out the {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Dimitrov check-called 2,500 and the turn was the {7-Clubs}. Dimitrov checked to Kitai again and this time he bet 3,800.

Dimitrov proceeded to move all in for right around 30,000 chips and the man with two WSOP bracelet under his belt tanked for quite a while before making the call.

Dimitrov: {6-Spades}{7-Spades}
Kitai: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Kitai was looking for help to knock Dimitrov out, and the river brought just that. It was the {3-Clubs} that gave Kitai a winning flush and he now sits very comfortable on around 74,000 chips.

Fish Out Of Tourney

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott’s tournament is over. Ludvic Geilich reconstructed the hand that did for him for PokerNews. There was a raise and a call when Ulliott was in the big blind and he decided to peel with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. On a flop for {10-Hearts}{10-}{6-Hearts} Ulliott checked, and when his opponent bet 1,000 Ulliott moved all in for 4,000 and was quickly called.

Ulliott saw that he was in big trouble against the {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of his opponent and the turn {10-} gave his opponent quads to finish him off.

Geilich has slipped even further since we last caught up with him too.

Hill Bests Schemion

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Four players including Darren Hill and Ole Schemion saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. There were three checks around to Schemion and he fired into the middle for 1,050. Hill called and the other two players released their cards.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and Hill led into the aggressor, betting 1,800. Schemion would not be swayed, however, as he raised the action to 3,800. Hill quickly called and the {Q-Clubs} dropped down on the river. The action went check-check, prompting Hill to roll over {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for two pair of kings and jacks. Schemion threw his hand into the muck and Hill was awarded the pot.

Coren Mitchell, Peas In A Cup

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Victoria Coren Mitchell
Victoria Coren Mitchell

Team PokerStars Pro and, let it not be forgotten, two-times EPT Champion, Victoria Coren Mitchell is not having much luck since Ole Schemion sat down at her table. It’s not the German Wunderkind who is giving her problems though. From the big blind Coren Mitchell check-called all the way down to the river of a board reading {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and mucked when her opponent showed her {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Coren Mitchell then resumed eating her healthy snack of fresh peas in the pod from a local sushi place, served in a plastic cup and addressed Schemion saying, “I don’t think I’ve won a hand since you’ve come to the table.” It wasn’t too long though before Coren Mitchell was involved in another hand calling an open in late position.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and when her opponent bet 825 Coren Mitchell raised to 3,500 and then faced a four-bet to 7,800. Munching another pea contemplatively she decided to call and saw the turn card come the {6-Diamonds}. A bet of 8,000 saw Cornen Mitchell call, finish her snack and then brush her hands as she awaited the river card and the final action.
The river was the {q-Diamonds} and Coren Mitchell’s opponent moved all in for 16,000. “Ok, I’m officially puzzled. “ She said before deciding, “If you haven’t got the best hand you deserve to win anyway. “ and mucking her hand to see a big dent put in her stack.

Stephensen's Hiding in Plain Sight

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Felix Stephensen
Felix Stephensen

The black baseball cap and scruffy beard will lead most people to believe that the player at their table is just another online poker player. Norwegian pro Felix Stephensen however is much more than that, as he's part of the 2014 World Series of Poker November Nine.

Stephensen is the third November Niner we've spotted this week after Andoni Larrabe and Jorryt van Hoof both played on Day 1a. The former advanced with 40,100 chips to Day 2 while Van Hoof was knocked out in the second level of play.

Stephensen comes into November second in chips behind van Hoof while Larrabe sits in fourth place, right behind Mark Newhouse.

There are only a few weeks left for the finalists of the WSOP Main Event to get some extra practice in, and Stephensen seems to be making the most of it.
