Assorted Updates

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Spanish superstar Adrian Mateos, who got third in the €50K Super High Roller today, just entered the event, taking a seat near the table recently vacated by both Quan Zhou and Ka Kwan Lau.

At other tables, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier is short, and Fabrice Soulier doubled through Goran Mandic. We didn't see when the money went in, but Mandic bricked with {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against the {a-}{q-} of Soulier, with the latter flopping trip queens.

Another big name on the poker circuit entered soon after Mateos in Ole Schemion.

Back to the Drawing Board for Croitoru

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The roller coaster ride of Mihaita Croitoru is heading into yet another downhill period as the Romanian just paid off table neighbor Alessio Casiraghi to drop back below the starting stack. On the heads-up turn of {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Croitoru check-called a bet of 5,000 and did so again for 8,300 on the {3-Hearts} river.

Casiraghi turned over the {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for two pair and that was enough to claim the pot.

Thorel Induces Two Folds

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Oliver Weis opened early and got three-bet to 3,500 by Jean-Noel Thorel. The small blind cold-called and Weis came along to make it three to a {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop. Thorel took two checks as an invitation to fire 6,000 and he raked in the pot after two relatively speedy folds.

Sam Greenwood Eliminated

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Sam Greenwood

After an open to 1,100, Benjamin Chalot 3-bet to 3,200 from the hijack. Over on the button, Sam Greenwood cold 4-bet to 8,500 out of a 40,000 stack. The blinds and initial raiser folded, Chalot called.

Chalot checked on {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} and Greenwood bet 4,000. Chalot shoved all in and after about half a minute or so, Greenwood called.

Sam Greenwood: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Benjamin Chalot: {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {3-Diamonds} on the turn wasn't one of the cards that immediately helped Greenwood, and neither was the {4-Diamonds} on the river. Greenwood done and dusted, Chalot up to 85,000.

O'Dwyer Busts Petrangelo

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

In a battle of the big names and High Roller regulars, Steve O'Dwyer bested Nick Petrangelo to send the latter to the rail, though both may very likely meet again the next day in the €25,500 Single-Day High Roller.

With approximately 13,000 in the middle and the board reading {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, O'Dwyer bet 9,000 and Petrangelo called with another 22,000 behind. The {5-Diamonds} fell on the river and O'Dwyer moved all in to see Petrangelo quickly call with {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a flopped set of sevens. O'Dwyer had the best of it with {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for a turned set of jacks and that was it.

Kuzmanovic Rises in the Counts

According to Boris Kuzmanovic, he took most of the stack of Dan Chisu in two separate hands and the Romanian bowed out soon after along with Quan Zhou and Nariman Yaghmai.
