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.

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."

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.

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.

The Rich Get Richer

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Anestis Anagnostidis raised from first position, and Norbert Berent behind him made it 5,600 total. Fabian Gumz made the call on the button before Pasquale Braco raised to 13,500 out of the small blind. Anagnostidis wanted no part in it and folded, and with the action back on Berent he five-bet to 23,200. Only Braco came along for the {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, where the Italian check-called 12,000.

Braco checked again on the {4-Hearts} turn, and this time the bet was 30,000 from Berent. The Italian gave it quite a think before finally releasing his cards into the muck, and Berent added another small tower to his castle of chips.

Michaelis Finds the Double

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

WSOP bracelet holder Paul Michaelis has turned up to join the High Roller crowd, and he just found a crucial double with the mother of all poker hands — pocket aces.

Michaelis got his last 20,000 in with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} on a {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts} board and was called by an opponent holding {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} and drawing to a mere two outs. The river was the {9-Hearts}, and the German scored the double.
