Vedes Comes Up Short

Tommy Vedes
Tommy Vedes

We first witnessed a hand between Alexander Kostritsyn and Jarred Solomon in which the latter lost some chips. The board read {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} when Solomon bet out 6,000 and Kostritsyn decided to raise to 13,700. Solomon tanked long and hard but couldn't find the fold button. Kostritsyn showed {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and raked in the pot getting himself up to 120,000 chips.

The next hand Solomon raised from the under the gun position to 3,400 getting calls from Kostritsyn and Vedes who was in the big blind. The flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and Vedes potted for 11,000 leaving himself with just 100 chips behind. Solomon made the call after which Kostritsyn folded.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and the last 100 chip was thrown into the pot. Solomon showed {A-Spades}[Ah}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Vedes flashed {10-}{10-}{7-}{4-} before finally mucking his cards and exiting the tournament. We're down to three tables.

Always Greener on the Other Side

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Joshua Green has been battling a short stack all day after coming back with around 10,000. He's still battling a short stack but has a little more breathing room after doubling up to 28,000.

He saw an {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop with chip leader Antony Lellouche before the rest of the chips went in.

The Frenchman was a ahead with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} as Green tabled {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a worse two-pair.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to make a backdoor straight for the Brit.

Fierro Struggling

On a {10-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board Jon Spinks bet out 14,500 into a big pot and almost instantly Fierro mucked his cards. Nicolas Fierro started the day as chip leader but has gone down a lot as he's below the average stack at this point. Jon Spinks keeps grinding and must feel better even though he and Fierro have the same stack.

Lacay Busto

Ludovic Lacay, one of the French favorites, has just been eliminated in 20th place. We were not present for his bust out but one of our French colleagues told us how it went down.

In a pre flop all-in he lost with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades} against {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}. The board came down {10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and that was it for Lacay. We're almost down to the final three tables.

Ramdin Sliding

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Victor Ramdin was not too happy with Michel Dattani for the way he played his hand to double-up.

Ramdin raised to 2,800 and then four-bet all-in when Dattani three-bet to 9,000. Dattani called all-in.

Ramdin: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}[x][x]
Dattani: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The board ran {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to make Dattani a flush after he called for a heart. Ramdin is down more to 110,000, whereas Dattani is up to 38,000.

Boucher Bouncing Along Nicely

Action form table 78
Action form table 78

Philippe Boucher has seen his chip graph steadily increase through these first few levels. He just played out a hand in position and managed to win it without showdown.

He raised to 2,500 from the button and Palevic three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind. Victor Ramdin called quickly from the big blind and that helped bring in Boucher.

The flop was {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} and and Palevic continued for 17,000 and only Boucher called. The {8-Diamonds} turn was checked to the {10-Diamonds} river where Palvic checked to face a 24,500 bet. The Swede procrastinated for a time and folded, only after Boucher started speaking to him.

Lellouche Takes Some From Nahum

Antony Lellouche started off the action with a raise to 2,600 getting called only by John Nahum. The flop came down {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and Lellouche bet 4,200. Nahum called and the river was the {7-Diamonds}. Lellouche threw out 11,800 and after some pondering Nahum decided to call. Lellouche showed {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a full house and raked in the pot.
