Minus Expected Value For Vamplew

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

David Vamplew had got to the river of a board reading {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Spades} and checked it to the player to his left who bet 7,000 into a pot of 10,000.

Vamplew sat for a while staring into the distance. A few minutes ticked by before he made the call and was shown the {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} rivered two pair before mucking. Vamplew let out a small sigh and his opponent said, “I know.”

“I’m used to it from you. That’s exactly what I expect from you” Vamplew replied witheringly.

Taramas versus Jouhkimainen

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Joni Jouhkimainen
Joni Jouhkimainen

EPT Loutraki finalist John Taramas bet 800 on a flop of {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} {J-Clubs} and Joni Jouhkimainen check-called out of the small blind to see the {K-Clubs} on the turn. The Greek fired another bet of 1,500 and was called before the {K-Spades} on the river got checked through. Jouhkimainen showed {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} and that was enough to win the pot.

Morozovs Leaves O'Dea Short

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Eoghan O'Dea raised to 500 and was called by Mihails Morozovs on the button to see the flop of {3-Spades} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. The Irishman bet 750 and was called before firing 1,800 on the {4-Spades} turn. Morozovs didn't go anywhere and tossed in the chips for the call.

The {K-Clubs} on the river should provide some fireworks, as O'Dea bet 3,700 and the Latvian raised to 10,950. O'Dea clicked it up to 27,500 and Morozovs moved all in for what looked like 38,000 in total. A few minutes passed and O'Dea indeed threw his cards into the muck.

Altman Busts Mason

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Brian Altman emerged as one of the chip leaders after four-betting to 2,800 with pocket queens in the small blind. From one seat over, Ashley Mason five-bet shoved for 16,000 with pocket sixes and the board ran out jack-high to provide no hit for either player.

McDonald Mucks

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Mike McDonald called a bet on the flop and when it got to the turn of a board reading {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} he again check-called, this time for 2,100.

The {7-Diamonds} hit the river and when McDonald checked once more his opponent threw out a bet of 5,200. McDonald made the call but mucked when his opponent turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a rivered full house.

That put a bit of a dent in what was a pretty healthy chip stack up until now as a big pot got away from McDonald.
