Marvin Rettenmaier will not be adding WPT Malta to his list of poker accomplishments because he has been just been eliminated. He opened up in early position, Vanessa Selbst three-bet with ace-queen, Abdelkader Benhalima moved all-in for around 30,000 - also with ace-queen - Rettenmaier called with pocket jacks and Selbst folded. Rettenmaier lost the subsequent flip and is now on the sidelines have a quiz with the Royal Flush Girls about capital cities!
At the start of the level Phil Hellmuth an Timothy Reilly were involved in a three-bet pot that resulted in Hellmuth saying he was ready to gamble with the kids now they have just clashed again.
Hellmuth opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and Reilly three-bet to 5,800. Hellmuth made the call and it was heads-up to the flop. Hellmuth checked and Reilly checked behind. Both players checked the turn and the river and Reilly took it down with his to Hellmuth's .
"Wow, he had it this time. I'm just glad he didn't get jiggy with it because he's been playing every hand!"
Former World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel is short stacked and has resorted to pushing all in or folding. He chose the former just now and moved in for 12,400 and the action folded all the way around to Svetlana Afanasjeva in the big blind, and she checked her cards showed the , chuckled and folded.
Vanessa Selbst has been eliminated at the hands of Enver Abduraimov. We caught the very end of the action where Selbst was all in and at risk with (having made a pair of tens on a jack-high board) and Abduraimov holding pocket aces.
Selbst couldn't catch one of her outs and has thus been eliminated from WPT Malta.
Jeffrey Rossiter has been on somewhat of a poker tour over the last few weeks, participating in WPT Paris, WPT Malta and we would assume he will be heading to Cannes this week for the World Series of Poker Europe.
He started the day with a healthy stack of 80,000 or so chips but now has more than double that as he is currently sat behind a stack of 185,000.
