All the chips went in the middle before the flop. German PokerStars player Jamila von Perger had and her opponent David Zakine from France (the at risk player) held . Yes, a race, but the way it played out did seem a little dirty. The final board read with von Perger shooting ahead on the turn but needing to dodge a ten or diamond on the river. Zakine made a flush and perhaps celebrated a little bit too much for von Perger’s liking who shot him a look and angrily stacked what remained of her chips.
From the small blind Jeffrey Hakim, 8th in this tournament here last year for €60,000, bet out 4,500. Ihar Soika from Belarus in the big blind made the call and the was soon dealt as the turn. Hakim now checked, and called as his neighbor bet 10,000. Hakim checked again on the river. Soika checked behind rather quickly and would soon get the bad news. Hakim showed for runner runner trips and Soika mucked.
Jamila von Perger has already won the Ladies Event here in Deauville this week, and now she's making another run in the Main Event. She could soon become one of the brightest stars in the game. Laura Cornelius, of PokerStars.tv, talks to the German sensation.
Short version: Christopher Frank opened and would fire three bullets against Niels van Leeuwen in the big blind. It would not work.
Slightly longer version: Frank raised from the button and Patrick Bruel quickly folded his small blind. Van Leeuwen was more interested and called from the big blind. on the flop and Van Leeuwen check called 4,600. The turn was the and Van Leeuwen now check called 11,200.
The river was the and Van Leeuwen checked again. Frank now put a big pile of 5,000 chips forward to put Van Leeuwen allin for his last 32,300. The Dutchman thought about it for some time but called in the end.
Frank showed for the missed flush draw and rivered third pair. That wasn't good enough, as he sure by now knew, as Van Leeuwen tabled for the flopped top pair.
Ayaz Manji abriu o pote com raise para 7,000 (blinds 1,200/2,400) e recebeu call de Barny Boatman.
O flop foi visto a dois e Ayaz apostou 7,200 fichas. O inglês fez raise para 15,000 e o português fez call.
No turn apareceu um e Ayaz fez check/call a 15,000. O river foi um e Ayaz opta novamente pelo check. O adversário vai all in e o call de Machine é quase o resto da sua stack...
Passou tempo, foi impresso bastante chat, e por fim, já com muita gente à volta da mesa foi anunciado call. Boatman mostra e Manji leva o pote com .
A alegria do luso ouviu-se pela sala toda e foi mais audível do que os festejos do russo mais vibrante do European Poker Tour.
Manji tem 162,000 fichas e levou uma órbita de suspensão!
PokerNews grabbed a quick interview with Barney Boatman after his exit at the hands of Ayaz Manji as detailed below. Boatman had been card dead all day, he explained, and in this hand he held . When Manji opened he said he would normally raise but here he thought Manji would bet whatever came on the flop. The flop came and Boatman duly check-raised him and got a call. A rag on the turn and Boatman bet and was again called. Another rag on the river where Boatman shoved the rest of his stack feeling he might get called by a lower pair if he had anything. Manji went in the tank for a long time and started chatting away, saying what a difficult decision he had. Boatman believes this is a simple call but Manji took so long to make the call because he wanted the attention on him. It was, simply put, a slow roll in his eyes.
Manji had earlier sucked out with against the of Ihar Soika and Boatman said he feared that when he got those chips that he too might fall victim to those ill-gotten gains. That’s just the way it works sometimes. Boatman is too experienced to feel bitter about the exit and there was certainly no animosity in his telling of the hand. That’s just the way it happened. No more poker in Deauville for the WSOP bracelet winner however, he’s flying back soon as he has a “Hot date.”
