Kamel Can't Catch

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Tamer Kamel's stack has mostly followed an upward trajectory today, but he just hit a downward section.

He was heads-up to the turn of a {6-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} board and around 50,000 had migrated to the warm patch in the centre of the table. His opponent in the hand was Mohamed Mamouni and he moved all in for 59,600 from the button.

Kamel tanked for several minutes before he called with {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for two pair. He was in deep trouble though as Mamouni had flopped a flush with {7-Spades}{9-Spades}. The {a-Clubs} river failed to come to the Brit's rescue.

Like Father, Like Son

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Goran Mandic opened to 4,200 from the cutoff, Andrey Gulyy three-bet to 11,000 out of the small blind, and Mandic responded with a four-bet to 25,700.

While Gulyy was in the tank, his father Yury wandered over from an adjacent table to sweat his son.

"All in," Andrey said, grabbing all of his blue T5,000 chips.

Mandic snap-mucked, and the younger Gulyy shipped the pot.

A New Champion Will Be Crowned

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Mohsin Charania has just been eliminated by John Juanda. Last year, Charania won the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final for €1,350,000 after beating a 665-player field. This year, Charania wasn't able to repeat.

Charania was all in from the button for 29,500 and up against Juanda who was seated in the small blind.

Juanda: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Charania: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and Juanda picked up the pot.

Juanda has had his share of EPT success in the past, but a victory is still missing from his résumé. His best finish on the tour was back in 2010 where Juanda finished second in EPT London when he lost heads up against David Vamplew.
