On the Bubble

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

With 82 players left action has gone hand-for-hand as we wait to see who the unlucky player going home empty handed will be.

Achiary Angry At Exit

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jean-Marc Achiary was all in and had been called in two spots including Stephan Ouzilou who was busy tidying up his big stack seemingly unconcerned as to what the board brought.

The two other players checked it down as Achiary looked on anxiously to discover his fate. The final board read {3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Ouzilou turned over his {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush. Achiary thumped the table angrily and didn’t want to show, throwin his cards face down at the board. The dealer turned over his {a-Spades}{8-Spades} and Achiary stormed off.

Koskas Challenges Polito

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Having the chip leader on your left is not ideal but that is the situation Jonathan Koskas finds himself in. Koskas raised and got a call from Laurent Polito. It was heads up to a flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Koskas made a bet of 14,000 and faced a raise from Polito, who gave him a sceptical look, to 31,000. Koskas responded by moving all in and Polito released his hand.

Flurry Of Exits

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Down to 90 already as the bubble approaches. 81 get paid.

Laurent Polito's table has just broken, scattering them to the remaining tables, which will be a relief for those at his old table, not so much for his new table mates.

Aces Again

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Alexandre Pereira Gama opened the action for 12,000 and faced a three-bet to 29,000 from the player to his left, Choua Sitbon. It folded back round to Gama who moved all in for 74,500 total. Sitbon thought long and hard about his decision as it was for nearly half of his stack. In the end he said call.

Gama turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and, although reluctant to turn over his own cards until prompted by the dealer, Sitbon showed his {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades} to give Gama a double up.

Dadon An Early Faller

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

There are plenty of short stacks in the room so there is likely to be a flurry of bust outs early on.

One of the early victims was Benjamin Dadon who got it all in with {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} looking to double up. Unfortunately for him he ran into Amir Israel who tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} with an apologetic shrug.

The cards fell {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and barely five minutes into the day Dadon was gone.
