Checking in on the Winamax Team Pros

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Mustapha Kanit opened to 4,500 and the big blind called. The big blind check-called a bet of 4,000 on the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop but check-folded to a bet of 12,000 from the Italian, known as "lasagnammmm" online, on the {2-Clubs} turn.

Meanwhile Bruno Lopes was doubling up an opponent. The 2015 winner held {3-Spades}{10-Spades} on a {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} runout, but his opponent had scored a small but meaningful double with {a-Hearts}{2-Spades} for trip twos. 'Kool Shen' still sits on 115,000.

Rejoining the field is Guillaume Diaz. The winner of the EPT Monte Carlo National last month, he has a fresh stack of 50,000 to play with with half an hour left in the level.

Calamusa Sends Zizi to the Rail; Moves into Chip Lead

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Pierre Calamusa
Pierre Calamusa

Pierre Calamusa looked to be in a good position to send Abdou Zizi to the rail with the Winamax Team Pro holding {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} against Zizi's {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

There was an ace on the flop, but a king also as the full board came {k-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} meaning Calamusa's set beat the top pair of Zizi. Calamusa already had close to 170,000, and with this elimination he soared up the counts to around 270,000.
