Zeitoun Doubles Through Delgado

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Vicente Delgado raised to 9,000 from the hijack and Jean-Jacques Zeitoun moved all in for his last 46,000 from the button. Action folded back to Delgado, and the Spaniaed eventually called.

Jean-Jacques Zeitoun: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Vicente Delgado: {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}

On the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, Zeitoun shook his head, but led out a "yesss" on the {A-Spades} turn. After the {9-Diamonds} river, he celebrated some more and then said "nice call, nice call," to Delgado.

Peyman Luth opened to 8,000 on the button. Mark Teltscher three-bet to 28,000 from the small blind and Luth called.

The flop was {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Teltscher took his time to consider his options. After verifying how much his opponent had left - 125,500 - he simply shoved all in. Luth took over two minutes before calling it off for his tournament life.

Mark Teltscher: {J-Spades}{2-Spades}
Peyman Luth: {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Luth needed to dodge Teltscher's flush draw and overcard and did so on the {5-Diamonds} turn and {A-Clubs} river, scoring him a huge double-up in the first level of the day.

Zervos and Feriolo on the Rail

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

There are 126 players remaining and the last two casualties were Alexios Zervos and Julian Feriolo.

Feriolo shoved for 37,000 from the button and was called by Jeff Hakim in the big blind.

Jeffrey Hakim: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Julian Feriolo: {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The board came {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and that was it for the Frenchman. Zervos was already waiting at the payout desk, and said "that was a short day. I shoved for 10 big blinds with queen-ten and was called by ace-eight suited."

Coulier Doubles Hoivold

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Action folded to small blind Arne Coulier and he pushed all in. Big blind Andreas Hoivold called with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} for 37,500 total. Coulier had {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

"That's not a good card," Hoivold said as the {10-Diamonds} appeared in the window, followed by the {7-Spades} and {6-Diamonds}.

"That's not good at all. Horrible!" Hoivold said with a smile.

The {A-Spades} hit the turn, which prompted a smile and a "That's better!" comment from Hoivold.

As the {Q-Diamonds} completed the board, Hoivold doubled.

Gresel Doubles in the First Hand

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Two-time WPT National Winner Paul Gresel started off the day with just 5 big blinds. In the first hand, he committed his stack of 19,500 to the pot and Christopher Frank looked him up.

Paul Gresel: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Christopher Frank: {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop paired Frank up and give him a big lead in the hand.

"See you in Amsterdam," laughed Gresel, referring to the WPT National in Amsterdam next week as part of the MonteDam Swing.

The {Q-Hearts} on the turn left Gresel drawing to the remaining aces and he found one on the {A-Clubs} river.

"Well, not yet" Gresel smiled as he collected the pot.

Bendik Eliminates Luneau

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Alexandre Luneau (small blind) got his last 40,000 or so in before the flop against reigning champion Jan Bendik (cutoff). Luneau held {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} but was in trouble as Bendik showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}.

The {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades} flop just about sealed it, and Luneau wanted to get up already. He changed his mind when the {10-Clubs} hit the turn but eventually did head for the exit as the meaningless {K-Clubs} completed the board.

Laurinaitis Eliminated

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Martin Lunde, Sindre Tvedt and [Removed:170] are the next casualties early on Day 3. The latter shoved for just 13,500 and Douglas Ferreira Souza folded in the small blind, exposing the {J-Spades}. Igor Yaroshevskyy quickly called in the big blind and the cards were turned over.

[Removed:170]: {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Igor Yaroshevskyy: {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

The board of {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} failed to improve the Lithuanian and he headed to the rail.

Oliver and Woodhead Eliminated

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Karen Oliver was the first casualty of the day and she was followed out of the door by Stephen Woodhead. Moritz Dietrich was the initial raiser and Woodhead got his last 14,000 in from the button. Dietrich quickly called and it was a flip for the Brit.

Moritz Dietrich: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Stephen Woodhead: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the full house for Dietrich sealed Woodhead's fate.
