Fatehi Busts Ensan and Timman in Three-Way Clash

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Hossein Ensan
Hossein Ensan

There were already more than 27,000 in the middle and the turn showed a board of {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Alexander Timman in the small blind bet 23,000. Hossein Ensan called with a stack of around 60,000 and Ali Reza Fatehi on the button moved all in. The shove was for 75,550 and Timman called all in for less, as did Ensan to create a massive pot and three-way showdown.

Hossein Ensan: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Alexander Timman: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Ali Reza Fatehi: {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"Come on, pair the board," Ensan demanded, but the {5-Clubs} on the river was a blank to send Ensan and Timman to the rail. Ensan, who was born in Iran, shook hands with Fatehi and they exchanged some more words before the EPT12 Prague Main Event champion headed to the rail.

Astedt Takes from Tuna

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Niklas Astedt has more than $1.0 million in cashes on the live tournament circuit and scooped the spadie in the €10,300 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship here in Prague along with a payday of €81,600 just a few days ago.

Astedt just got involved in a three-way hand with Akin Tuna and Dinesh Alt and the trio was already on the {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} turn. Tuna checked from the cutoff, Astedt bet 6,000 on the button and Alt folded from the small blind. On the {Q-Clubs} river, Tuna checked and called a bet worth 15,000 to muck once Astedt showed {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Reichenstein Shakes Off Jozonis

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Tomas Jozonis opened to 1,200 under the gun, Uri Reichenstein three-bet to 3,500 on the button and Jozonis came along. Jozonis check-called 2,600 from Reichenstein on the {6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

The {9-Spades} on the turn prompted a second barrel from the EPT13 Barcelona runner-up, worth 6,000, and Jozonis gave it up.

O'Dwyer Better on Second Bullet

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer was one of the first players today to hit the rail. The American poker giant, who surpassed the $20M lifetime winnings mark two months ago, opted to re-enter and is doing much better on his second bullet.

Just moments ago, O'Dwyer took out Ognyan Dimov to jump to 80,000. On showdown, Dimov had {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} open and O'Dwyer {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} while the board read {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. O'Dwyer's hand was best and Dimov hit the rail.

Silver Back With his Old Nemesis

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Out of the 20 players that busted thus far, eight opted to re-enter for the second and final attempt in the tournament. Among them was also Max Silver, who received a very familiar seat assignment that brought him to the very same table he previously busted from.

Omid Mojaverian still has plenty of chips over there and the only new face is Benjamin Pollak, who got into a hand with Silver in a battle button (Silver) versus small blind (Pollak). On the {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} turn, Pollak bet 1,400 and Silver called before the Brit faced a bet of 8,525 on the {3-Clubs} river. Silver let his shot clock run down to one second and folded.

Pollak was visibly relieved and elected to show the {Q-Spades}. The Frenchman also finished second in last night's €5,000 Hyper Turbo Side Event and will aim for another deep run in this three-way High Roller, having finished third in Barcelona back in August earlier this year.

Tuna Keeps Pumping

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Lander Lijo raised to 1,200 in middle position and Rocco Palumbo called from the cutoff. Akin Tuna made it 4,200 on the button and both Lander and Palumbo bought a flop. Tuna bet 6,000 on the {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop and Lijo was the sole caller.

Tuna kept his aggression up by betting 16,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn and Lijo quickly folded.
