George Builds Stack

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jean Paul Zaffran raised from under the gun and picked up calls by Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier in the cutoff and Christopher George on the button. The trio checked the {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop and the {9-Diamonds} turn. On the {7-Clubs} river, Zaffran bet 3,500 and ElkY called, as did George.

Zaffran tabled {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and ElkY mucked, while George claimed the pot with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Tkac Shoves into Ho

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 3,600 from the cutoff and Jack Salter called on the button on a table full of big names. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Vogelsang bet 2,800, Salter raised to 10,600 and was called. After the {8-Diamonds} turn both players checked and Vogelsang's bet of 16,000 on the {5-Clubs} river went through uncalled. While the hand was going on for several minutes, Charlie Carrel, Preben Stokkan and Peter Eichhardt were discussing on how the shot clock in High Roller tournaments could be improved.

One table over, the turn showed {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Maria Ho bet 6,700 out of the big blind. The pot was around 15,000 and Patrik Tkac then moved in for 27,700 on the button. Ho gave it plenty of thought and elected to fold.

Three Streets of Value for Toma

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Tsugunari Toma opened on the button and Liv Boeree defended her big blind. On the {8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, Boeree check-called a bet from her Japanese opponent. The turn was the {6-Spades} and Boeree check-called another bet, this time 8,600.

With the PokerStars live cameras swooping in to capture the action, Boeree checked a third time on the {J-Diamonds} river. Toma bet 16,500 and Boeree took her time. Eventually, she called it off, but had to muck as she couldn't beat Toma's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Smith Busts Dedusha

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

From early position, Artan Dedusha opened for 4,000. Small blind Dan Smith three-bet to 14,000 and the big blind folded. Dedusha wasn't doing the same, he called in position.

Smith bet 13,000 on the {4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and 20,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Dedusha called rather quickly both times. The {6-Clubs} on the river completed the board and Smith shoved. Dedusha had a big decision with about 40,000 or so behind.

As Smith slid forward the large tower of chips to put his opponent all in, the PokerStars live stream cameras swarmed in and started taping the scene. The two camera teams attracted onlookers from other tables which made for a bit of a crowded situation for a hand not even all that big or exceptional.

"No pressure," Moreira de Melo said with a sense of irony. With the red lights of the cameras still on, the microphones precisely positioned above the table and more and more people watching, things didn't get any easier for Dedusha.

To make matters worse, Moreira de Melo started offering people water since she was getting some anyway. Dedusha pondered some more and by the time Moreira de Melo had made sure the entire table was hydrated enough, Dedusha announced his call.

Smith revealed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} which was good enough to take down the sizable pot. Dedusha mucked {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and made his way to the exit.

Debus Gets Off Cheap

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a four-bet pot with 19,000 invested preflop, Alexander Debus and Leonardo Vilela ended up checking down the board of {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs} entirely and Debus flashed {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Vilela had that beat with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and the hand could have ended differently if it wasn't for the ace on the flop.

One table over, Igor Yaroshevskyy opened to 3,300 and called a three-bet to 10,500 by Jason Wheeler on the button. The flop came {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Yaroshevskyy checked, Wheeler bet 10,000 and that ended the hand right there.

Kamatakis Doubleas Goryachev

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Viacheslav Goryachev doubled a short stack with {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} versus {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} in a preflop all in, as the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and was then soon after all in for the very same 22,300 out of the big blind. Initial raiser Iliodoros Kamatakis, who reached the final table of the EPT Main Event in Dublin in 2016, looked him up.

Viacheslav Goryachev: {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Iliodoros Kamatakis: {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Goryachev dodged plenty of outs to stay in contention.
