Greco Perks Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Michael Greco raised preflop, the first time he'd got involved since they moved to the feature table. Pete Vilandos called in the big blind and they saw an {A-Spades}

flop, which they both checked.

Come the {10-Spades}

turn, Vilandos bet out 125,000 -- and Greco laid it down, sending the pot Vilandos' way.

Seth Takes Two

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andrew Seth has won two pots in a row. The first one he had to continuation bet into two players on a {4-Spades}

board but it worked as they folded. The second raise was into the BB of Michael Greco and seeing as he hasn't played one hand yet it was an easy steal.

Hermans - using the power of his mind didn't make the chips go to him

Ernst Hermans open-shoved for 360,000 -- and small blind Ronnie Kevin re-shoved for 455,000. Over to Dean Hamrick in the big blind and there was an extremely exciting moment where he was really considering it, but in the end he passed and the two shorties were on their backs.

Hermans: {3-Clubs}

Kevin:

Board:

Drawing dead by the turn, we lose our last Dutchman in 10th place.

Hamrick Gets Lucky

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andy Seth raised to 95,000 in early position and got looked up by Dean Hamrick in the cutoff to see a {7-Spades}

flop.

Seth bet out 145,000 only for Hamrick to make it 335,000; a call, and they proceeded.

After all that action, though, they checked down the {K-Hearts}

turn and

river. Seth turned over pocket {6-Clubs}

-- but Hamrick, who had merely been at it on the flop, had rivered a higher pair with his {9-Hearts}

and it was good to win the pot. A brief and high-volume eruption from his buddies at the rail soon followed.

Picking on Jaffray

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Two out of the last three hands Alan Jaffray has had to lay down after his raises were met with three-bets all in. First it was Ronnie Kevin who moved in, followed a couple of hands later by Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos.

Jaffray deals with the situation by smiling through it.
