Kenny "kenny05" Smaron Falls Two Shy of the Money

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Kenny "kenny05" Smaron, who won the European Poker Tour Prague €10,300 High Roller last month for €595,500, was just eliminated in 13th place at the hands of Ivan Luca.

It happened when Luca, who has been opening most hands, raised to 48,000 from early position. Smaron responded by moving all in for 162,000 from the button, the blinds both folded, and Luca took his time before making the call.

Luca:
Smaron:

Smaron was well out in front, but the flop made things interesting by giving Luca a flush draw, which he hit on the turn. However, Smaron was not drawing dead as either a ten or ace would give him a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the blanked on the river.

Kenney & Seiver Chop Up Clark's Stack

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Zachary Clark raised to 130,000 from the button, which was about half his stack. Scott Seiver then three-bet all in for 377,000 from the small blind, and Bryn Kenney four-bet all in over the top. Clark called off for 270,000 total and the cards were all turned up.

Clark:
Kenney:
Seiver:

Kenney and Seiver held the same hand, while Clark was ahead with his small pocket pair. The flop kept Clark in the lead, but then the dealer burned and turned the to pair both Kenney and Seiver. The river was no help to Clark and he was eliminated from the tournament while the other two players chopped the pot.

Big Slick Does the Trick for "kenny05"

Chad Holloway

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

European Poker Tour Prague €10,300 High Roller champ Kenny "kenny05" Smaron just tripled up in a big hand against Scott Margereson and Piotr Franczak.

It began when Margereson raised to 18,000 under the gun, Smaron three-bet all in for 78,000 from the button, and Franczak four-bet all in over the top from the big blind. Margereson called off for 187,000, which created a 218,000 side pot.

Margereson:
Smaron:
Franczak:

Smaron seemed excited to hold two live overs, but he was left wanting on the flop. The turn gave him a wheel draw, but it was the river that gave him a pair of kings for the triple. Meanwhile, Margereson's tens were good enough to win the side pot, meaning he profited a little on the hand.
