Manole Wins Small Pot

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Lee Egan raised to 975 after facing three limpers and Mihai Manole as well as one further player called to see a flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Action checked to Manole and his bet of 1,600 won the pot uncontested. Manole moved back above starting stack, while Egan still has more than double of that.

Ekrem Tekin Seven
Ekrem Tekin Seven

With around 6,300 in the middle, and the flop showing {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, a bet to 7,250 was spotted in front of Ekrem Tekin Seven and a short stack shoved for 11,200. Eamon Macnamee called and so did Seven. On the {10-Diamonds} turn, Seven pushed and Mcnamee folded.

The short stack turned over his {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Seven had that beat with {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, claiming the big pot after a blank {8-Clubs} on the river. Seven moved up to more than two times the starting stack.

De Jong Gets Some Value

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

On the heads-up flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Dehlia de Jong bet 2,000 from the button into a pot of around 4,000 and her sole opponent Jean-Michel Ploch called in late position. Ploch then checked the {10-Clubs} turn and de Jong bet 3,000, picking up another call. Both then checked the {A-Spades} on the river and de Jong flashed {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, which was good enough to win the pot.

Alfassi Back in Action

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Benny Kneepkens and Nissim Alfassi clashed very early on in a huge pot and Alfassi was left very short. Since then, the player from Israel grinded his way back and just won a flip with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against the pocket sevens of Kneepkens on a board of {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

Kneepkens still has a big stack, while Alfassi is suddenly back in contention.
