Early Clash of Big Stacks

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

With the board already reading {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} it was Alexandru Jambor who had 5,950 in front of him. His opponent, Georgios Tavoularis had a whole lot more over the line with the all-in triangle laying next to his chip stack.

Jambor ended up throwing his hand in the muck, sending a pretty big pot early on in the tournament to Tavoularis.

Xanthopoulos Makes Huynh Fold

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Franck Huynh limped from early position and Pavlos Xanthopoulos raised to 700 from late position. When the player on the button and both blinds folded their hand Huynh called.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Huynh check-called a bet of 700 from his Greek opponent. The {10-Hearts} was added to the board and Huynh check-called another bet. This time the bet was 2,100 and they saw the {5-Spades} river complete the board.

Huynh checked again, only to see Xanthopoulos bet out 7,500 this time. Huynh took his time to think over his decision but eventually let go of his hand.

Value for Suliman

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Yaaqov Suliman limped from late position and Alex Hendriks raised to 450 from the big blind. Suliman called to see the {J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop come down.

Hendriks checked this time to Suliman and he decided to take over the lead with a bet of 1,000. Hendriks called and the turn was the {2-Spades}.

Hendriks checked again to Suliman and this time he fired out a bet of 3,000. Hendriks didn't take too long to announce the call to go to the {3-Spades} river card.

Both players checked on the complete board and Suliman showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} to win the hand.

No Calls for Callens

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Daiva Byrne
Daiva Byrne

Daiva Byrne raised from the under the gun position on the 5-handed table to 250 and Chaim Koifman called from the button. Ann-Roos Callens sat in the small blind and had entirely different plans as she three-bet to 1,200. Both Byrne and Koifman called.

The flop came down {4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Callens continued with a bet of 2,400. Byrne thought about it for a minute before she threw her cards in the muck, as did Koifman.

Dehlia de Jong is also seated at the table with Callens and Byrne and with that there are more women at table 35 than men.

Moolhuizen Starts Off Bluffing

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

With the {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} board already out there Mateusz Moolhuizen was facing a bet of 700 from the player two to his right, Paz Shkalim. Mateusz put in a pink 500 chip and two yellow 1,000 chips to raise to 2,500 but Shkalim thought Moolhuizen had called his bet.

Shkalim opened up {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for just king high, but Moolhuizen showed {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for the bluff. After Shkalim saw the pot move to Moolhuizen he asked why he lost the hand and that's the moment he visibly realized Moolhuizen didn't call his bet of 700 but he actually raised to 2,500.

Short Handed Play

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Quite a lot of the seven-handed tables have only four seats occupied as a lot of players decided to come in a little bit later. Most of them who are already registered in the tournament are coming in a little bit late but they're slowly filling up all the tables.

First Names

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Shuffle Up and Deal

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Players are slowly dripping into the tournament area and taking their seats as the "shuffle up and deal" was announced. Players start with 30,000 and blinds being 50/100 so there's plenty of room for the players to play.
