There are just 40 minutes remaining on Day 2 of the EPT Malta High Roller and just 23 players are left in the tournament. The tournament director has jus announced that there will not be a redraw at the end of the night, but whenever we get down to the final 16 players.
We missed the pre flop action, but overheard Nick Petrangelo tell Thomas Muehloecker what had happened. Tureniec had opened and Petrangelo had three-bet. Tureniec four-bet shoved and Petrangelo had made the call.
Michael Tureniec:
Nick Petrangelo:
The board ran out and despite picking up a gutshot and chop pot outs, Tureniec busted in 24th place. Because this hand was played while the other tables halted for the redraw, only 23 players will return after the redraw is done.
Adrian Mateos had been short for most of the day, and the former World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion has just been knocked out in 26th place. We're one elimination away from a full redraw, and down to three tables.
Daniel Dvoress, who made the final table in the €25,000 High Roller earlier this week, just got knocked out in 28th place. Dvoress was all in before the flop against Ivan Luca, and the showdown went as following.
Dvoress:
Luca:
The board ran out and Dvoress hit the rail in 28th place.
Under unknown circumstances we've lost Jonathan Little in 30th place just now. He does collect €23,300 for his efforts, which is a nice little pay jump from 31st place.
and McDonald made a flush to knock out Ferreira.
and despite picking up a gutshot and chop pot outs, Tureniec busted in 24th place. Because this hand was played while the other tables halted for the redraw, only 23 players will return after the redraw is done.
and Vogelhuber was knocked out. There will be a full redraw now as we are down to three tables of eight.
