Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

We told you to expect fireworks between these three!

Kevin MacPhee raised to 5,300 in the cutoff, Antony Lellouche called on the button before Davidi Kitai three-bet to 23,200 from the small blind. MacPhee folded but Lellouche wanted to gamble and he made the call.

Flop: {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Kitai bet pot, Lellouche moved all-in and Kitai called (it was 85,700 in total for Kitai).

Kitai{A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Lellouche{8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades}

Two pair for Lellouche and the draw for Kitai. The dealer placed the {10-Clubs} on the turn to give Kitai his flush, and the full-house did not materialise for Lellouche on the river.

Lellouche was down to 64,000 and Kitai moved up to 234,000.

Short Stack Watch

  • Dario Alioto is spending as much time out of his seat than in it. He's stack watching at the other tables, hoping to find a few stacks as low as his.
  • Ilan Boujenah had to fold to a 21,000 bet on a flop. He only has 25,000 to play with.
  • Jason Dewitt has managed to double up his short stack. His {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} was good on a {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} board.

Antony Lellouche Doubles Through Kevin MacPhee.

The line up of Kevin MacPhee, Antony Lellouche and Davidi Kitai looks like it is going to produce a lot of action, and here is the first of many pots between the three.

Kevin MacPhee raised to 4,300 on the button, and both Lellouche and Kitai called in the blinds. The flop was {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} and all three players timidly checked. Not so on the turn though! The dealer placed the {K-Diamonds} onto the felt and when the action checked around to MacPhee, he made a bet of 10,000. Lellouche was next to act and he check-raised to 41,000, Kitai folded, MacPhee moved all-in and Lellouche made the call.

Lellouche{A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {2-Clubs}
MacPhee{K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts}

Top two for MacPhee and a ton of outs for Lellouche. The dealer put the {Q-Hearts} on the river and Lellouche doubled up with Broadway.

Scary Double for Parkinson

Padraig Parkinson has doubled up for the second time today, and now in with a great shout of making it through the upcoming bubble.

He and Jason Dewitt saw a {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop where Parkinson called a bet to see the {2-Hearts} turn. Dewitt led for 12,500 and called, after a lot of agonizing, when the Irishman shoved for 56,700.

Parkinson said he only had a nine-high flush as he opened {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. He was good though as Dewitt had a smaller flush with {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{x-}{x-}.

Three Way Carnage: Benyamine, Kornuth and De Maci

The game of Pot-Limit Omaha can create some amazing pots and here is one of them. The flop was showing {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {4-Hearts} and all three players involved in the hand decided to play for stacks. It was David Benyamine who covered Adam Kornuth who covered Chris De Maci.

De Maci{Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Kornuth{K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Spades}
Benyamine{A-Spades} {K-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

The three of them were playing for a 250,000 pot and it would be worth 435,000 for Benyamine. But we had two cards to come and De Maci was in the lead with his middle set, remarkably nobody had a straight and Kornuth was leading Benyamine with his pair of fours.

Turn: {3-Diamonds}

The situation did not change, except that Benyamine picked up even more outs.

River: {8-Diamonds}

De Maci tripled up to 141,300, Kornuth scooped the side pot with two-pair courtesy of his {4-Spades} and re-modelled his 90,140 and Benyamine missed the lot and moved down to 185,000.

Kevin "The Genius" MacPhee Eliminates Fabrice Soulier.

Fabrice Soulier is out.
Fabrice Soulier is out.

Kevin MacPhee has just eliminated Fabrice Soulier leaving us with 51 players.

We caught the action on a flop of {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. There were four players in the pot and Fabrice Soulier was all-in for 15,500 in the big blind. Dermot Blain folded in first position, Kevin MacPhee called in the cutoff and the small blind also folded to leave the pair heads-up.

MacPhee{A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Soulier{10-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}

So MacPhee called with just top pair and it was good as Soulier was on the draw. The turn card of {Q-Diamonds} was a complete brick for Soulier and was the {7-Hearts} on the river.

"Kevin the genius…it's not your game my friend…but great hand," said Soulier as he packed up his belongings and headed off to the rail.

So Kevin MacPhee was up to 166,000 but the biggest mover on the table is the Irishman Dermot Blain who now has 135,000 (+88,000).
