Deeb Steals a Pot

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

There was a multi-way contested pot over on Table 4 where Ross Murphy had open-limped under the gun, Freddy Deeb and Michael Tureniec called from the next two seats over, Steven Csepreghi called on the button and Stephane Gerin spoiled the party by raising to 2,200 from the small blind. Amazingly, everyone called, including Enrico Buzzanka in the big blind.

The {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop saw the first three players check. Freddy Deeb took a 4,000 chip stab at the pot and to everyone's surprise, the active players folded.

As the dealer pushed the pot in Deeb's direction he gave us a wink and a wry smile.

Aido Aido It's Off to Work He Goes

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Spain's Sergio Aido has fond memories of playing poker in London having completely smashed the opposition back in March.

Aido's amazing run began with a victory in the PokerStars UKIPT London Main Event for £144,555. He then finished second in a £1,000 turbo side event for an additional £20,000 before finishing 70th in the EPT London Main Event for £9,500. Aido was not done there, he continued his one man wrecking spree of London by coming second in the £2,000 No Limit Hold'em Six-Max event for a score of £26,460.

Watch out for him going deep in this special tournament.

Hero Call Backfires on Vinson

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Jonathan Weeks checked from the big blind with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades} putting the action on Ben Vinson. From the button, Vinson tested the waters with a 1,200 bet, a bet that Weekes wasted little time in calling. The turn brought the {7-Hearts} into play and neither player seemed to impressed with its arrival as they both checked.

The {4-Diamonds} completed the board and Weekes upped the aggression and splashed a bet of 1,450. Vinson remained motionless, except for the riffling of green chips. Less than a minute later, Vinson called but quickly mucked as Weekes turned over the {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines.

Vinson drops to around 53,000.

Cardyn Claims Some of Clark's Chips

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Charles Clark made a rather large raise of four-times the big blind from the cutoff seat. Next to act was Rony Halami on the button who called the 1,200 bet. From the small blind, Nicolas Cardyn squeezed out a substantial raise of 4,300 and only Clark called.

The {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop prompted Cardyn to continue with a 4,400 bet. Clark tossed in a solitary 5,000 chip to make the call. The {9-Spades} saw the roles of the players reverse. Cardyn checked, Clark bet 1,800 and Cardyn went don the passive route and called. The river was the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked.

Cardyn: {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Clark: *mucked*

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat...

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante
Ramzi Jelassi
Ramzi Jelassi

Former EPT champion Ramsi Jelassi is up to almost 100,000 after a substantial double up through Michal Polchlopek. Jelassi had check-raised a 2,800 bet to 7,000 on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} before firing 10,000 on the {4-Diamonds} turn. Polchlopek called this bet and then took little more than a minute to call the all-in shove for 30,000 on the {5-Diamonds} river.

Jelassi flipped {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flopped full house which was more than enough to beat the Pole.

Chris Sly has been sent to the rail and will need to re-enter on Day 2B if he is to leave London with €1,000,000.
