Pateychuk Doubles With Aces, Still Short

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

EPT Sanremo 2011 winner Andrey Pateychuk just doubled up with aces up against kings pre flop all in. When we arrived all the cards were already on their back and Pateychuk's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} prevailed over his neighbors {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} on {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} | {J-Clubs} | {2-Spades}. Pateychuk is still short though, having seemingly already lost a big pot early on. He's still in contention, playing 21 and a half big blind.

Aerts Check Folds

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

When we walked up to the table in the orange section of the Amazon Room, we saw three people check to Pieter Aerts (the Belgian poker player, not to be mixed up with Peter Aerts). He bet out 500 on a {7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades} | {K-Diamonds} board and Nancy Birnbaum in the small blind made a raise to 1,125. The two other players involved in the pot quickly folded, but Belgian player Aerts made the call.

Aerts, who won the Heads-Up tournament during EPT Deauville this year, and Brinbaum saw the {10-Clubs} fall on the river. Birnbaum bet out 1,500 but Aerts folded after just about five seconds of thinking.

Shulman Picks Off Little

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We found Allyn Jaffrey Shulman contemplating a river bet from Jonathan Little. He had fired 3,500 from the button after she checked a board of {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Shulman thought for about a minute before tossing out calling chips. Little tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for ace-high, and Shulman paused before turning over {j-}{j-} for jacks up.
