Hoivold Snipes Ho

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

After Hoivold had opened from the hijack, Maria Ho committed her last 50,000 from the button with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Hoivold called with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and remained in front after the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-} flop. On the {K-Hearts} turn, Ho took the lead with a pair of kings, but the river was a fourth heart to improve Hoivold to a flush and send Ho packing.

Ho was one of the last ones to receive the minimal reward of €7,580.

Zeiter Drags a Big One

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

The Swiss, who won a €2K side-event at the final EPT in Prague, moved up to 370,000 after the hand.

Game Over for Munoz

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

A raising war broke out between Gianluca Speranza in the small blind and Ramon Miquel Munoz in the big blind, and the latter ended up all in and at risk for around 150,000 with pocket tens. Speranza had the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and the board of {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{A-Hearts} failed to provide any help for the Spaniard.

Other recent casualties included David Urban and Arezki Belaidi, who all claimed the second payout step of €9,540.
