Muehloecker Folds Down to Half Starting Stack

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

After an early open from Andreas Hoivold and one call, Thomas Muehloecker committed to the pot for an unknown amount from the button as he had a T5,000 chip out. The small blind made it 8,150 to go, chasing away the first two players to voluntarily come in, and action was back on Muehloecker. He tanked a bit and then decided to fold.

The dealer shipped him 2,300, indicating he had three-bet to 2,700, and Muehloecker stacked his remaining chips, which looked to be just under 15,000.

Antonius Enters, Doubles

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Patrik Antonius (earlier this week)
Patrik Antonius (earlier this week)

Monaco resident Patrik Antonius may not have been active much at the poker tables in recent times, it doesn't mean the Finnish superstar rode off into the sunset to leave it all behind. PokerNews interviewed Antonius earlier this week to catch up with the Fin and talk about his plans to bring poker to Monaco.

Not long after Antonius sat down, he was put to the test by Viliyan Petleshkov. The Bulgarian had opened from the button and Antonius had defended his big blind. On a {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Antonius checked, Petleshkov bet 1,200, Antonius check-raised to 5,200 and Petleshkov called.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} and Antonius bet 7,200, which Petleshkov smooth-called in position. On the {8-Clubs} river, Antonius checked and Petleshkov went all in. It was effectively 12,000 to call for Antonius, who slid his stack in after a minute of thought.

Petleshkov tabled {K-Spades}{3-Spades} for a busted flush draw and Antonius showed {A-Spades}{5-Spades} for a busted flush draw as well, accompanied by a pair of fives. Sharp call by the Fin, who netted a quick double-up.

Cabrera Gets Value

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

PokerStars qualifier Sergio Cabrera is one of the players trying to make a name for himself in this tournament. Holding {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}, Cabrera bet 7,075 on a {4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board and his opponent called after much deliberation. Cabrera's top pair top kicker was good and gave him the pot.

Bit of Gravy for Geilich

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Ludovic Geilich bet 3,500 into a pot of about 4,300 when an opponent under the gun checked to him on {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}. That player called and then checked a {3-Hearts} turn. Geilich fired almost immediately for 8,000, and his opponent tanked a couple of minutes and mucked, ceding the pot to the man known as "Gr4vyBo4t" on Twitter.

Galtos Beats the Buzzer

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Nicholas Galtos was facing a bet of 11,700 from the player under the gun and on his right, with a completed board of {8-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} between them. When we returned to the table a few minutes later, he was still tanking. Eventually, someone called a clock.

"Bluffing me?" Galtos asked with a smile. "Should I call?"

With less than 30 seconds left on the countdown, Galtos splashed in a call.

"Wow," his opponent said. "Good call."

After being shown {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Galtos turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and took the pot with trips.

"Good bluff," he said to his opponent. "I fold a lot of hands there."
