Lelek Among the Chip Leaders

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

"He is running hot and hits everything," Jerome Sgorrano while Miroslav Lelek collected yet another pot. On the river of a board {J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}, Lelek was spotted betting 100,000 and his sole opponent called. Lelek turned over {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the straight and scooped the pot.

Below are further updated chip counts of several notables.

Mustafa Uyar Gets Luck Leaving Claudius Istrate Irate

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Claudius Istrate opened the action and got a call from Mustafa Uyar.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Istrate checked it over to Uyar who bet 75,000.

Istrate went for the check-raise to 190,000 and Uyar called.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {a-Clubs} complete the board.

A check from Istrate saw Uyar think for a while before assembling a tower of chips which he slid forwards. As the dealer was breaking down the bet, which was around 250,000, Istrate threw in the calling chips.

Uyar tabled {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a full house.

Istrate was far from happy as he showed his losing {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. “So sick,” he said as Uyar collected the pot and continued for a while to lament his fate, “So lucky.”

A little smile did play across the lips of the silent Uyar.

Sevens For Ensan

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ensan picks up the full double
Ensan picks up the full double

We joined the action on a {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} board, with Hossein Ensan check-raising a 35,000 bet to 130,000. His opponent made the call as they headed to a {3-Hearts} turn, where Ensan continued for 140,000. His opponent thought for a second before moving all-in. Ensan called instantly and the cards were on their backs.

Ensan's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} had his opponent's {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} drawing dead, but had the shorter stack, so left his opponent a handful of chips back while picking up the full double.

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Horak Loses a Bigger Pot

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jiri Horak raised to 15,000 and Sebastian Langrock called before the hijack raised to 35,000. Horak clicked it up to 115,000 and Langrock folded, the hijack called. On the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, Horak checked and called a bet of 150,000 before both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn.

Horak's bet of 100,000 on the {2-Hearts} river was called by the hijack, who was relieved as Horak turned over {A-Spades}{2-Spades} for two pair only. The hijack had the better two pair on {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and scooped the pot, but remains below the starting stack.

Robotka Shoves on Table of Big Names

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Anatoly Filatov almost immediately doubled his stack and fellow High Rollers Paul Michaelis and Hossein Ensan share the same table, but it was Frank Robotka that scooped the last hand.

On a three-way flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Robotka checked out of the small blind and Filatov bet 35,000. The player in the hijack called and Robotka check-raised to 103,000. Filatov folded and the hijack called. After the {2-Spades} turn, Robotka instantly moved all in and forced a fold from his sole remaining opponent.

Son Of banAAna Triples Up

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The board at the turn read {2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Jurgen Dezius had bet 75,000.

Action was on Jan Demjan and behind him stood local celebrity and owner of the next-door massage parlour, chiKKita banAAna who is his father. Demjan is also in a bright yellow sponsored Team chiKKita banAAna top resplendent with patches.

Demjan had just over a pot sized bet behind and in the middle it went as banAAna Sr. gripped his son’s shoulders.

Both Dezius and Stefan Fuchs made the call so cards were on their backs.

Dezius: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Fuchs: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Demjan: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The dealer put out a river card {5-Clubs}.

Dezius was felted, Fuchs collected a side pot with his two pair, and Demjan tripled up with his flopped set of jacks.

A delighted chiKKita banAAna cried, “Triple up!” as his son grinned and stacked the chips.

Flying Start For Filatov

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Filatov is off to a great start in the Main Event
Filatov is off to a great start in the Main Event

Anatoly Filatov opened with a raise to 15,000 from the cutoff, picking up the player on the button, Paul Michaelis in the small blind, and the player in the big blind. They took a {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop four ways, with action checking round to Filatov who put out a continuation bet worth 50,000. It was only Michaelis who flopped nothing, with the remaining three players seeing an {a-Clubs} turn.

Filatov went for a second barrel, this time asking for 125,000. The player on the button was convinced and mucked his hand, while the big blind stuck around to see another card. The {q-Diamonds} came on the river, with Filatov loading the clip and firing out 325,000 when checked to. The big blind made the call, showing {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a flush, but was no good versus Filatov's {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the absolute nuts.

It looks as if Filatov is starting where he left off: after winning the High Roller side event outright in the early hours of this morning, he's off to a great start in the Main Event.
