Ten is the Magic Number: EPT10 Prague €10k High Roller is Down to the Final 10

Nível 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Dmitry Yurasov

On Tuesday, the Season 10 European Poker Tour Main Event went from 22 players to the final table of eight in record time. On the other hand, the €10,000 High Roller was a long and grueling affair as 84 players looked to play down to a final table of their own. After ten levels of play, the action came to an end with ten players remaining. Leading the way with 1.404 million is Russia’s Dmitry Yurasov, though he must contend with the likes of Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst, current EPT10 Player of the Year points leader Thomas Muhlocker, and EPT champ Mike “Timex” McDonald.

Thanks to seven reentries before the start of Day 2, the total number of entries jumped to 176 (137 unique players and 39 reentries), which was up considerably from Season 9 (108 unique players and five reentries). That created a prize pool of €1,724,800 that was to be distributed to the top 27 players, with a healthy €382,050 reserved for the eventual winner.

Action recommenced in Level 11 (1,000/2,000/300) and the players hit the rail in droves. Among those to fall in the early goings were Radif Sharifullin, Paul Volpe, Morten Klein, Robin Ylitalo, Roman Korenev, Dan Shak, and Team Online's Mickey Petersen and Isaac Haxton.

With 28 players remaining, the money bubble was on and it'd be another Team Pro that would earn the title of bubble boy. In Level 16 (3,000/6,000/1,000), Eugene Katchalov got his stack all in holding the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and was in bad shape against Muhlocker, who held the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The sevens were in front as the board ran out an uneventful {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Katchalov exited in 28th place and guaranteed the remaining players a minimum €17,250 payday.

From there the in the money eliminations began to pile up and included Shannon Shorr (27th - €17,250), Steve O'Dwyer (26th - €17,250), Martin Kahbrel (25th - €17,250), Martin Finger (24th - €17,250), Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (23rd - €18,950), and Day 1 chip leader Georgios Karakousis (22nd - €18,950).

In Level 17 (4,000/8,000/1,000), 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure champ Dimitar Danchev opened under the gun plus one with a min-raise to 16,000. Action folded to EPT7 Barcelona champ Kent Kundmark in the big blind. He checked his cards and pushed his short stack to the middle. Danchev called and it was a coin flip situation with Lundmark holding the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} against the {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} of his Bulgarian foe. The ace-jack gained some additional outs on the turn but other than that, there really wasn't any excitement as the board ran out {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Lundmark took home €18,950 for his 21st-place finish, Danchev would actually follow him out the door soon after in 20th place.

From there, Jonathan Little (19th - €20,700), Ami Barer (18th - €20,700), Akin Tuna (17th - €23,300), Bryn Kenney (16th - €23,300), Emil Ohlsson (15th - €25,850), Ariel Mantel (14th - €25,850), Joao Vieira (13th - €28,450), Andreas Eiler (12th - €28,450), and Benjamin Pollak (11th - €32,800) all hit the rail before play was concluded for the night at the end of Level 20.

The third and final day will begin at 12 p.m. local time on Wednesday, which is the same time the Main Event will conclude. Of course the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to cover the conclusions of both.

Benjamin Pollak Eliminated in 11th Place (€32,800)

Nível 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak - 11th Place
Benjamin Pollak - 11th Place

Action folded to France's Benjamin Pollak in the small blind and he opted to move all in for 237,000. Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst looked down at her cards, liked what she saw, and made the call.

Pollak: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Selbst: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Both players held an ace, which meant it came down to the kicker. Selbst was best in that department, and she maintained the lead as the board ran out a dray {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Pollak nodded and then made his way to the payout desk in 11th place to collect €32,800.

Andreas Eiler -12th Place
Andreas Eiler -12th Place

Action folded to Jeff Rossiter on the button and he opened for 32,000. Andreas Eiler proceeded to move all in from the small blind for 299,000 and Ukraine's Oleksii Khoroshenin thought for about 25 seconds before making the call. Rossiter quickly folded and it was off to the races.

Eiler: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Khoroshenin: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Eiler got it in good and made it through the {6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop, though Khoroshenin did pick up a gutshot Broadway draw. The {J-Clubs} turn gave Khoroshenin some counterfeit outs to a queen, but it'd be the {A-Diamonds} that spiked on the river that would give him the win.

Joao Vieira Eliminated in 13th Place (€28,450)

Nível 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira moved all in for 257,000 and Anirudh Seth gave it a long dwell up from the small blind before he too announce that he was all in. Benjamin Pollak was visibly distressed, unable to decide what to do with his hand facing two all-in’s in front of him. Nobody said anything as a couple of minutes ticked by. In the end he threw he cards in in frustration and we got to the showdown between Viera’s {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and the {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of Seth. On the flop {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} Vieira moved ahead and Seth Would need and ace or runner. Turn {j-Diamonds} and river {8-Diamonds} gave him the flush so runner, runner it was to send Vieira packing.

Max Heinzelmann raised from the button and, when the small blind folded, Emil Ohlsson moved all in. A quick call by Heinzelmann with {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and he was way ahead of the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} of Ohlsson. The cards fell {5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, no help for Ohlsson and he was out.

Akin Tuna

Akin Tuna opened for 25,000 and was raised to 58,000 by Dmitry Yurasov on his left. The blinds folded and Tuna made the call. They saw a flop of {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Tuna was first to act and slammed his column of chips all in for his last 190,000. Yurasov studied his opponent and made the call with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. He was right, Tuna was on a draw with {q-Spades}{8-Spades} and could also hit a six. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river {3-Diamonds} bricked out to send Tuna out.

Bryn Kenney Doubles Through Dimitar Danchev

Nível 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

A monstrous pot just went down between Bryn Kenney and Dimitar Danchev and I'm pretty sure it's going to stick in Danchev's mind for a while.

Kenney opened to 20,000 from middle position, Danchev three-bet to 53,000 from the small blind, back on Kenney he four-bet to 95,000, Danchev then five-bet to 183,000, Kenney six-bet all-in for 395,000 and Danchev snap called.

Kenney: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Danchev: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs} flop gave Kenney a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. The {4-Spades} turn left him drawing to just four outs and he duly pinged one on the {Q-Clubs} river. Nobody at the table made a sound throughout the entire hand as they'd no dobut seen in a thousand times before.

After that hand Kenney is up to 800,000 whilst Danchev slips to 210,000.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier moved all in from the button and was called by Olivier Busquet. Grospellier was at risk had the pair {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} against the {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} of Busquet. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, Busquet hitting to send Grospellier out of the tournament.

Eugene Katchalov Bubbles the €10,000 High Roller

Nível 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Eugene Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov

The commentators on the live stream jokingly said that ElkY can't bubble. And they were right, he caught a seven on the flop and river to double up.

What's true for Grospellier apparently not necessarily goes for Katchalov as he just did bubble this event. Muhlocker was again involved, again with jacks. His {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} needed to dodge sevens again as Katchalov tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

This time the sevens stayed in the deck: {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. With that Eugene Katchalov was the official bubble for the €10,000 EPT Prague High Roller. All other players are in the money, guaranteed €17,250.

That's How You Get to the November Nine

Nível 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Marc Etienne McLaughlin
Marc Etienne McLaughlin

Marc Etienne McLaughlin, who finished sixth in the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event, found himself all in for 56,300 and in dire straits against Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.

McLaughlin: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Grospellier: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

McLaughlin was in need of a little luck, and he found some as the {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop delivered him a set. Neither the {3-Hearts} turn nor {9-Spades} river helped Grospellier and he shipped the double to McLaughlin.

"You can tell everyone that's how he made the final table of the Main Event," Jason Lavallee joked.

McLaughlin smiled and quipped, "Ten times tens versus aces."
