Matt Warburton

Day 1d and Day 2 State of Play

Day 1d also ran today and has now concluded. There were 123 entries and of those, 55 players made it through. Enrico Olivieri emerged with a significant lead over the rest of the field. He'll be bringing 375,000 to Day 2, making him the overall chip leader of the tournament.

High Roller champion Andrea Radicchi is in the field with a decent stack, making a run at his second major score of the series. Other notables who made it through today include David Lappin, Tommy Nguyen and Marius Gicovanu.

All four starting flights have now finished. However, late registration stays open for the first two levels of Day 2, and so the number of entries and total prize pool are not yet fully confirmed. So far though, the event has attracted 814 entries and 270 made it through their respective flights to earn a seat. The prize pool so far is €732,600.

Day 2 will have 60-minute and a further 10 levels of play, with blinds starting at 1,000/1,500 with a 1,500 big blind ante.

Heltveit Busts With Moments Remaining

Matt Warburton

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kristine Heltveit shoved from under the gun for her last remaining 7,000 chips. Action folded to Vincenzo Calenda, who made the call in the big blind. Players flipped their cards.

Kristine Heltveit: A♦6♥
Vincenzo Calenda: A♣J♠

The board ran out 5♦Q♣10♥4♠K♣. Keltveit was way behind preflop and didn't manage to catch up. Calenda made a straight on the river to eliminate her from the tournament.

Heltveit stood up part way through the hand and then quickly made her exit, busting just moments before the end of the flight.

Crowds Gather for Calderone's Table Talk

Matt Warburton

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of K♥10♣8♣Q♣ and Eros Calderone made a huge shove all in for an effective size of around 100,000 when the table talk began. Coyle was the only other player in the pot and was facing a decision for his tournament life.

"What do you think I have?", asked Coyle.

"You have aces," responded Calderone. "The flop is a monster for me, I have to push."

The talk continued as spectators gathered and chuckled. "If he has aces, I can lose, said Calderone, "...maybe!"

There was much more said between the pair as Coyle struggled to make his mind up on what was clearly a tough call to make. Calderone was making a good show of it.

Eventually, Coyle showed pocket aces to Calderone as he made the fold.

"I know," said Calderone before flipping over K♦K♠ for a set of kings and scooping the pot.

"You have a big story to write," joked a neutral player as Calderone continued the chatter long into the night.

Hilbert Out Pairs Philotheou

Matt Warburton

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Following an early position raise, Raymond Hilbert reraised to 7,500 and Yiannis Philotheou called on the button. The original raiser folded and two players went to the flop.

The flop came the 2♣9♦3♠ and Hilbert moved all in for a little under 20,000. Philotheou quickly tossed in a chip for the call and players flipped their cards, with Hilbert at risk.

Raymond Hilbert: K♠K♣
Yiannis Philotheou: 10♦10♣

Philotheou had an overpair to the board with his pocket tens, but Hilbert had pocket kings for a bigger overpair.

The turn came the A♠ and the river was the Q♥. Hilbert held to double up.
