Jean Miguel Lacerda Takes a Pot from Mitchell Johnson

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Mitchell Johnson raised from mid position and got one caller, Jean Miguel Lacerda, from the big blind.

{A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {9-Clubs} on the flop. Checked to him Johnson continued with a bet of 22,000. Lacerda called.

The {8-Diamonds} came on the turn and this Johnson bet 38,000 when checked to. Again Lacerda called.

The river card was {k-Diamonds}. Both players checked and when Lacerda showed {K-Spades} {9-Spades} for two pair, Johnson looked a little upset and mucked his cards.

Platten Survives an All In

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Freddy Deeb opened the action with a bet of 30,000. Praz Bansi pondered in the small blind but folded. Daniel Platten in the big blind moved all in. “How much is it?” Deeb asked, and having been told it was 100,000 more he called.

Deeb was ahead with {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds} while Platten held the {K-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {5-Hearts} and Platten’s top pair gave him the pot and another life in his attempt to battle his way towards a €1,000,000 payday.

Why You Never Celebrate Too Soon

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tom Kugelstadt
Tom Kugelstadt

And here we have a classic example of celebrating too early and why it can cost you.

The flop was reading {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Tom Kugelstadt had moved all in over the top of Ken Broad's 60,000 bet. Broad had about 140,000 left and was deliberating.

"I don't think you've got anything...I've got something," he told Kugelstadt.

After taking several minutes to think, he apologised for taking so long to which Albert Sapiano replied with some slightly colourful language he'd prefer Broad hurry up as he [Sapiano] was in the big blind next.

Finally Broad made the call.

Broad: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Kugelstadt: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The turn came, the {5-Diamonds} and suddenly Broad erupted, "YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS. WHO IS YOUR DADDY?" in a cry that reverberated around the Bobby Moore suite. In fact, he'd was so ecstatic he hadn't even noticed that although he'd made trips, Kugelstadt now had a gutshot straight flush draw and numerous outs.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and suddenly Broad's energetic shouting was cut to a halt as though someone had pressed the 'mute' button on a remote control. He looked more deflated than a punctured tyre.

Kugelstadt, for his part, was like an actor who had just missed his cue and a couple of moments after the stunned silence and realisation of what had happened, he let out a slightly quieter "Weeeeeeeee," comprised entirely of the sort of satisfaction that you only get when you hit your redraw after being sucked out on.

Someone came over to ask what had happened.

Sapiano replied, "The Daddy is dead."

Germany 1 England 0

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

One of the most intriguing battles is going to be that between Sam Trickett and Ole Schemion. Currently, it's all going the way of the German. There was already 260,000 in the middle with the board reading {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, Trickett fired 92,000 and Schemion called after some long thought.

Trickett flipped {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Schemion showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} to scoop the pot.

Kugelstradt Gets Tricky from the Big Blind

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Albert Sapiano opened under the gun for 25,000 and was raised by Matt Dale to 75,000. Tom Kugelstradt called from the big blind and Sapiano called as well to make it three players to the flop.

{J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} and Kugelstradt checked. Sapiano bet 75,000, the pre-flop aggressor Dale folded, but when it got back to Kugelstradt he moved all in.

Sapiano folded and Kugelstradt showed the table his pair of queens.

“Tricky spot to play these.” Said Kugelstradt

“Good flop for them though eh?” Replied Devilfish on the same table who had been keeping a keen eye on the action. There followed a good natured discussion on who would have done what with given stack sizes.

The only thing for sure though was that Kugelstradt’s queens were good and he took down a decent pot.

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Janot: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Marques: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The board came {6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and both players made full houses but Marques' was the larger.

Tahiri Terminated

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Najib Tahiri's tournament has come to an abrupt end at the hands of Jerome Brion.

Brion opened the betting preflop from early position and was called by Tahiri in the big blind. Tahiri then check-called a bet on the {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop and then check-raised all in on the {Q-Hearts} turn. Tahiri had made his move with {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and was crushed by the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} of Brion. The {5-Hearts} was not one of Tahiri's scarce outs and he headed for the exits.
