Mad Marvin’s World

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Georgii Bandura opened for 2,000 and David Vamplew sitting to his left moved all-in for 18,000. The blinds folded and, with a shake of the head, so did Bandura when it got back to him. Across the table Marvin Rettenmaier grinned at the Scot and seemingly resumed a conversation they had been having.

“I can’t believe you don’t remember. The night we bet on that camel. On YouTube?”

Vamplew shook his head and asked, “Racing a man?”

“Noooo,” replied Rettenmaier looking slightly tired and emotional after a reportedly long night. It was his big blind next so the story would have to wait.

Michael Bech Lundsgaard, a PokerStars player from Denmark opened for 2,000, Ioannis Fronimakis came along on the button and Rettenmaier threw in a call and a word to Lundsgaard, “Careful.”

“I will be,” he replied.

The flop came . Lundsgaard bet 2,700, Fronimakis folded and Rettenmaier called. on the turn and now Rettenmaier led out for 4,200. Lundsgaard smiled rueful and folded. It Mad Marvin’s world, we’re just living in it.

Milad Oshabian Gets Some Back

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Table 32 is another vying for toughest table in the room as it contains David Williams, David Vamplew and Marvin Rettenmaier. That terrifying triumvirate looked on as a hand played out between Milad Oshabian and Georgii Bandura.

It was Oshabian who got the action started he opened to 2,000 from under-the-gun+1, Bandura three-bet to 4,500 from the button, Oshabian four-bet to 8,200 and Badura smooth called.

The flop fell , Oshabian bet 6,000 and Bandura came along to see the fall on the turn. There was no let up from Oshabian, he bet 10,000 and after much thought Bandura called. Both players checked the river, Oshabian showed and it was good.

He was as high at 109,000 at one point, he'd slipped back but with that pot is now up to 73,000 whilst Bandura slips to 132,000.

Gaelle Baumann Eliminated by Anaras Alekberovas

Webjoker

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Gaelle Baumann was standing on the rail busy with her phone and told us she had just busted. In dramatic fashion, we might add.

A player in middle position had opened to 2,000 and Baumann had flatted the button with pocket kings because Anaras Alekberovas behind her was "squeezing every hand". This time around the Lithuanian didn't squeeze though, he called from the big blind. On rainbow Alekberovas lead out for 4,000. The initial raiser made the call and Baumann raised it up to 12,000.

She received two calls and the dealer put out the as the turn. After two checks Baumann shoved all in for her remaining 23,000. Alekberovas looked her up showing . Baumann needed a king but wouldn't get one on the river.

Aido Crippled and Then Eliminated

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Back on Day 1a we told you that we'd keep an eye on Spain's Sergio Aido, who has been having a heck of a year. Aido made it to Day 2, but he will go no further.

In a recent hand, a preflop raising war resulted in Russia's Andrei Demidov getting his stack of 45,000 all in holding the . Aido had called the shove and was disappointed to discover his was dominated.

The board ran out a clean and Demidov doubled through Aido, who was left with 30,000 after the hand.

Not long after, Aido was eliminated.

Palovic Finds Value

Webjoker

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Dag Palovic is notorious for his 5 high chips stacks. Those small towers already make it easy to count his stack but he's also a regular user of the MyStack app. He updates his stack in the app after every significant pot and thus we know he now has 103,700:

Dag Palovic @dagpalovic

With TJs I found J on flop and second one on turn ;). My current chip count: 103,700. #EPTMain #mystackDecember 14, 2013

The hand he described we saw from the turn. Brazilian LAPT Punta del Este winner Marcelo da Fonseca had checked on and Palovic had bet 7,500. Da Fonseca, wearing a "ALL IN M. F★CKER" hat and t-shirt" for the occasion, made the call. Despite the firm text on his t-shirt he didn't shove but he check called another 15,000 from Palovic on the river. Palovic showed and took down the sizable pot to get over the 100,000 mark.

Dag Palovic is wearing a t-shirt to promote his book 'Ako sa stať poker pro' ('How to become a poker pro'), the first ever Slovakian poker book by the way. Palovic co wrote the book with 1983 WSOP Champion Tom McEvoy who was just this year indicted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
