Lech Folds Turn as Lampropoulos Joins Rail

Frank Visser

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Lech raised to 8,000 from middle position and Larry Ryan defended his big blind. On the K♦5♠2♥ flop, Lech continued for 4,000 after a check from Ryan. Ryan then raised to 15,000 and Lech called.

The 9♠ turn saw Ryan shove his remaining 40,000 chips in the middle, to which Lech quickly folded, awarding the pot to his opponent.

Meanwhile, Maria Lompropulos was eliminated from an adjacent table and joined the many other early eliminations on Day 2.

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mircea Rus raised under the gun to 8,500 and it folded all the way around to small blind Andy Black who woke up with a hand good enough to put his last 87,500 in the middle. A very quick call followed by Rus after the big blind folded.

Andy Black: A♥Q♦ All in
Mircea Rus: A♠A♦

The board was dealt 10♠4♠3♣4♦6♠ and Rus eliminated Black from the tournament.

Hand Eliminates Pop Cuc

Milko van Winden

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

It folded to hometown hero Fintan Hand in the small blind and he moved all-in, covering Victor Pop Cuc in the big blind who had 58,000 in front of him. Upon looking at his cards he quickly called and the cards went on their backs.

Victor Pop Cuc: A♣Q♦ All in
Fintan Hand: A♦4♦

The A♥K♠8♥ flop and 6♠ turn only brought chop outs to Hand, but the 4♥ on the river improved Hand to two pair to send Pop Cuc to the rail.

Henderson Almost Avoids Disaster

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a three-bet pot worth 55,000 chips, Stephen Henderson made a bet of 45,000 from under the gun on a flop of 5♦K♥A♦. Gary Stokes then jammed all in for 115,500 and Henderson spent a few minutes in the tank before dejectedly putting in a call.

Gary Stokes: K♠K♣ All in
Stephen Henderson: A♥Q♠

The 7♦ turn left Henderson drawing dead against the set of Stokes, and the Q♦ river rolled off while he paid his dues.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vitaliy Seman raised to 8,000 from early position before Stephen Kavanagh jammed all in for 10,000 from the small blind. Andrew Dickinson called in the big blind and Seman came along as well.

Seman then created a side pot on the 3♠Q♣7♠ flop, which Dickinson check-called. The 5♠ turn was checked by both players before Dickinson bet 10,000 on the 9♠ river.

Seman folded, leading to Kavanagh showing down J♥J♦. That won him the main pot, as Dickinson took down the side pot with his K♦7♥ for a pair of sevens.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vitaliy Seman	80,000
Andrew Dickinson	59,000 121,000	121,000
Stephen Kavanagh	34,000
