Break

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

The players are now going for their second 20-minute break of the day. Here are some chip counts taken just before the break started.

Little Change for Farrell

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Niall Farrell appears to have maintained his chip stack over the last two levels. As the tournament closes in on the second break of the day, Farrell just won a decent pot on a {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} board. He bet 4,000, which was enough to see off his opponent.

Kassouf and Politano Down But Not Out

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante
Bruno Politano
Bruno Politano

William Kassouf raised to 500 from the button and the player in the big blind called. The flop came {k-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, the big blind players check-folded to the 750 bet of Kassouf.

On a few tables further down, the pot in the middle contained almost 3,000 already and the board read {7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Bruno Politano's opponent check-called the 2,350 bet.

The {10-Spades} on the river completed the board. Politano bet 3,075 after his opponent had checked again. After the snap-call, Politano revealed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for an overpair but that couldn't beat the {8-Spades}{6-Spades} of his opponent as he had rivered a flush.

Sammer Takes a Little Back

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Harald Sammer has been under starting stack for a little while now but he just won a small pot on the turn, that will hopefully see the start of an upward trend for the Austrian.

Facing multiple opponents on a {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board, a bet of 900 was enough to secure Sammer the pot.

Obreshkov Over Vrakas

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Stoyan Obreshkov and Georgios Vrakas know each other from the European poker scene and were just playing a hand against each other.

There was about 3,000 in the middle already and the board read {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} on both players had checked. The {j-Hearts} on the river completed the board and there was some table talk and laughs between the two. Obreshkov looked at the board and the pot again and then put in his stack of yellow 1,000-value chips in as a bet. Vrakas threw his hand into the muck without any hesitation.

Thomas Boivin is also on the same table and seemed to have made a big comeback as he now has around 30,000 in front of him. "Found some chips here and there." he remarked.

Some Go Up and Some Go Down

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Joldis Splits Pot

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

The player in mid-position raised to 500 and action folded to Cosmin Joldis on the button. Joldis looked at his cards and shoved. The blinds quickly folded. The initial raised asked for a count and the dealer confirmed that it was 4,200 in total. He looked at his cards and stack once more and then called.

Cosmin Joldis: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Mid-position: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

They both had the same hole cards, they each hoped to pick up the flush but the {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Clubs} wasn't that. They split up the antes and blinds between them.
