Slow Start for Cruz

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

Luis Rodriguez Cruz was moved tables early on to balance out the growing field and three-bet an open-raise from 525 to 1,700 out of the cutoff. His sole opponent called and the flop fell {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Action checked to Cruz and he continued for 1,500, which the initial raiser called.

After no betting action on the {6-Spades} turn, Cruz faced a bet of 3,500 on the {K-Clubs} river and folded.

Up to 72 Entries

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

Will Givens and Ari Engel were among those that joined and the latter got his seat on a table with Steve O'Dwyer. Engel just won an event in the US and was supposed to play in the €5,300 Main Event, but his flight was delayed and the Canadian poker pro and the 2016 Aussie Millions champion missed out on the opportunity.

Saout Builds Stack

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a completed board of {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} with around 15,000 in the middle, Antoine Saout bet 13,500. Only one opponent remained in the hand and that was [Removed:528], who briefly considered his options and tossed in a single chip for the call.

Saout turned over {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flush and that was good enough to win the pot, giving the Frenchman a decent start into the day.

Familiar Names Dripping In

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

Slowly but surely, more and more familiar names are taking their seats in the €10,300 High Roller. Here is the latest batch to enter the last PokerStars Championship High Roller.

Aldemir Takes O'Dwyer to Value Town

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Jan Subik opened the action with a raise to 550 and Koray Aldemir called out of the small blind. Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind three-bet to 2,500 and forced a fold from Subik, while Aldemir called. On the {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop both players checked before Aldemir bet the {7-Spades} turn for 4,000, O'Dwyer called.

The {4-Diamonds} fell on the river and Aldemir bet once agai, this time for 17,000 and more than the size of the pot. O'Dwyer reluctantly called and mucked when he was shown {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for trips sevens.

Petrangelo and Evard Tangling

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

Francois Evard raised to 500 from the cutoff, Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 1,600 on the button, Evard four-bet to 5,600 and Petrangelo called. On the {9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, Evard bet 3,500 and Petrangelo called.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Evard checked. Petrangelo opted for a hefty bet of 14,500, enough to get the Swiss out of the hand.

Rocky Start for Greenwood

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Sam Greenwood is coming off what is quite possibly the hottest month of his poker career. Greenwood won more than $1,5 million dollars in the past thirty days, including two final tables here in Prague. The Canadian finished 7th in the first €10,300 High Roller for €24,900, then final tabled the €50,000 Super High Roller where he finished 5th for €147,000.

Today, Greenwood is off to a rocky start as he lost about 30% of his starting stack to David Laka. On a {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board, Greenwood bet 3,500 and Laka called in position. The river brought the {5-Spades} and Greenwood checked. Laka bet 8,500 and Greenwood called within seconds.

Laka turned over {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a full house and Greenwood mucked.
