Pyzara Flops Gin

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante
Kacper Pyzara
Kacper Pyzara

In the last hand before the break, Germany's Alex B. entered the pot with a raise to 1,800 and both Sonay Kehya in the small blind and Kacper Pyzara in the big blind made the call.

The dealer fanned a {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop, and both Kehya and Pyzara check-called a bet of 2,200 from the German. Same thing happened on the {2-Clubs} turn, this time for 4,500 before the players checked through the {2-Spades} river.

"I got it," Pyzara quickly announced showing {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for quads besting the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} of Alex B. and the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} of Kehya.

Pyzara hastily raked in the pot before leaving for the break alongside the rest of the high rollers.

Berent Surges to the Top

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Polish player Norbert Berent is only the second player to surpass the 200K chip mark. Berent just scored a knockout when his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} bested the {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} of an opponent on a {7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} board, and Berent is now sitting at a solid 225,000.

Natalia Breviglieri First to Be Eliminated

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante
Natalia Breviglieri
Natalia Breviglieri

Partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri was down to 26,000 chips and bluffed the rest off to Czech Republic's Jan Mach.

As we saw her standing up from her chair she explained that she lost her stack on a semi-bluff. The hand unfolded with Breviglieri check-raising the flop with a gutshot straight draw before check-jamming still on a draw the rest of her chips on the turn. Mach, who flopped a straight, called on both streets and his stack grew to 145,000 after Brevliglieri couldn't improve her hand to a better straight on the river.

Brevliglieri shared that she plans on re-entering today. Her fellow partypoker Ambassador Anatoly Filatov then added with a smile, "and tomorrow."

Not a Value Bet But a Value Bluff

Level 4 : 400/800, 100 ante

Natalia Breviglieri raised to 2,000 from the very first position, and both Aleksandar Tomovic and Anatoly Filatov came along for the ride. The {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} prompted checks from both of the partypoker Ambassadors before Tomovic fired 3,300. Filatov and Breviglieri called.

The players checked through the {J-Diamonds} turn, and when Tomovic was checked to once again on the {7-Clubs} river, he cut out 7,500 and put them over the betting line. Filatov wanted no part of it, but Breviglieri called after a minute of contemplation.

Tomovic sighed in defeat and turned over {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, but was still awarded the pot as Breviglieri slid her cards into the muck.

"A value bet," a tablemate asked Tomovic?

"Rather a value bluff," Filatov quickly answered, which resulted in quite a few chuckles around the table.

Partypoker Ambassadors Battle

Level 3 : 300/600, 75 ante
Anatoly Filatov
Anatoly Filatov

Partypoker Ambassadors Anatoly Filatov and Natalia Breviglieri have been battling it out on the same table since the start of the High Roller.

While Breviglieri ran off to a hot start, she has since fizzled down to 41,000 in chips. Filatov meanwhile has been chipping up up his stack and is now up to 150,000.

In a recent hand, Breviglieri opened from under the gun to 1,500. The player in the small blind and Filatov in the big blind both opted to call.

Flop: {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

The action was checked to Breviglieri on the flop who led out for 2,500. The player in the small blind folded before Filatov raised to 7,000.

Breviglieri called and both players checked after the {6-Spades} appeared on the turn. Filatov fired out for 8,000 after the {2-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, and Breviglieri quickly tossed her hand into the muck.

After also tossing his hand into the muck, Filatov asked Breviglieri if she had ace-ten. She said she had better. Filatov then raised his eyebrows before questioning this. Breviglieri said his check-raise looked strong with a likelihood of ace-two or ace-three type of hands before Filatov added that he could have had a gutshot straight draw as well.

Bendik Binks the Turn

Level 3 : 300/600, 75 ante

With a healthy 22,500 chips already in the middle, Lebanese Georges Chehade bet out 6,500 on a board of {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Jan Bendik made the call. The {3-Hearts} river paired the board, and Chehade fired another 11,500, which Bendik wasted no time calling.

Chehade confidently tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, but Bendik rolled over {K-Spades}{8-Spades} for the better two pair and was awarded the pot.
