The 2013 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final
Sorel Mizzi raised from the button to 25,000 and Mike Watson tanked for a bit before moving all in from the small blind for 247,000. Timothy Adams was seated in the big blind, and he looked down at his cards after which he paused for a bit. Eventually Adams called and Mizzi folded.

and Watson rivered an ace to stay alive. Both players did not respond at all when the ace hit on the river, but Scott Seiver pointed out that Watson would've probably been dancing in his room if this happened in an online tournament.
There was a new face in the field this morning, an eager new player who insisted on playing. No one had heard of Samir Taouint but he at least looked the part, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
Dani Stern fell in 15th place as the tournament edges ever closer to the bubble that promises to be nervy.
The action folded around to Stern in the small blind and he shoved 165,000 into the big blind of Timothy Adams who called.

to make Adams a straight on the river.
Scott Seiver just raised to 24,000 from the cutoff and Alex Mos moved all in over the top for 232,000 total. The action was folded back to Seiver who tanked for a bit and called.
Mos: ![]()

Did you know that ‘Mad’ Marvin Rettenmaier won a €2,000 Turbo here on Sunday? That win took him past $4m in live tournament winnings and up towards Philipp Gruissem in the German all-time money list.
