Smirnov Without Bottle?

Mikhail Smirnov just got involved with Paul Bennazar who followed up the preflop raise by betting 3k on the {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} flop when Smirnov checked. He was called, and they saw the {10-Diamonds} turn. Check-check. The river fell the {8-Spades} and Smirnov checked a third time. Bennazar, however, reached for chips and bet 12,500 of them - over the size of the pot. Smirnov sat quietly thinking for a moment or two but finally gave it up.

We've had to make some adjustments.

Hang Ten-g

Andrew Teng might find it difficult with Tommy Vedes sitting a couple of seats to his left.

Teng just opened to 1,425 preflop with Vedes flatting from the button. On the {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop, Teng bet 2,400 and Vedes made the call. The {7-Hearts} turn went check-check before Teng checked the {7-Diamonds} river as well. Vedes now bet 5,700 and Teng quickly folded.

Layan On the Pressure

Jonathan Layani, 115,00
Jonathan Layani, 115,00

Jonathan Layani's built 'em high with a very large (in terms of volume and upward reach) stack which he's using regularly. Having not experienced tournament life as a short, or even average stack in this event since the start of level one, he doesn't seem keen to at this stage.

Just now he raised preflop to 2,000, only to find neighbour Kevin Eyster coming over the top: 5,200. Back to Layani, who counted out a bit more before impassively fourbetting to 13,500. This got a fold.

Bustouts and Doubles

There is action all around as the 300/600 blind level really gets into its stride. Olivier Douce busts running into Kings preflop, Pierre Canali doubles to 40k through Paul Testud with {Q-Spades} {K-Diamonds} which ended up making two pair on the river and left the veteran French player with just 7k. Ossama Chaar doesn't do so well with his {Q-} {K-} however, racing {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} preflop and missing all the way.

The early bustout rush has meant we've broken a table already which was immediately replaced with a cash game, as seems to happen seamlessly every day here.

Only The Rony

Alexander Roumeliotis, who is the exact spitting image of fellow Swede Per Linde, just knocked out Rony Hailimi. The latter had put all his chips in on a {3-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} flop with {Q-Spades} {9-Spades} but the wily Swede was holding {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} which hit the {A-Hearts} on the turn, rendering the {5-Clubs} river meaningless.

Early Boots Boost for Krost

Tyron Krost started the day with 43k and after just a few hands has upped it by a quarter thanks to David Lascar. The betting got big on the turn with the board {2-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} and he put in a raise to what looked like 5,200 (when a bright pink 5k chip hits a pot it's impossible to miss); call. The river brought the {Q-Hearts} and Lascar checked, Krost betting 6,500. Pretty quickly he was called but turned over the {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} at which his opponent said, "Bravo," and shipped him the pot.
