A hand from the feature table to tell you about now...
Denis Patout was all-in and at risk for 56,300 with and Ludovic Geilich was up against him with pocket jacks. The board gave Patout the double-up to around 116,000 whilst Geilich dropped to 82,000.
Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov needs an EPT Main Event title to complete the Triple Crown and he just put Mikalai Pobal - a man who has an EPT Main Event title to his name - in a world of hurt.
The Ukranian had bet 40,000 on the river of a board and the EPT9 Barcelona winner was tanking over his decision. The Belarusian had roughly 60,000 back so the decision was for the majority of his stack. He took his time, but given the gravitas of the decision no one at the table looked even remotely interested in calling the clock.
A few more minutes passed before he mucked his hand with a distinct grimace of a man who didn't want to. After that hand Katchalov climbs to 181,000 whilst Pobal drops to 60,000
Joep van den Bijgaart's day hasn't been all that great so far. The first two levels he didn't win a hand and just now he lost a big pot with pocket tens pre flop all in against someone's ace-king. That 60,000 pot went the other way and left Van den Bijgaart with just 47,000.
To make matters worst he isn't able to extract a lot of chips when he does make a hand. He just flopped a set but got no action despite three opponents and a drawy flop.
Van den Bijgaart is playing well under average but still has 41 big blinds left to play with.
Pascal Vos, who finished 4th in last years EPT Berlin for €255,000, just got bluffed out of a pretty big pot. Vos still seemed pretty disappointed with himself when he told us the hand.
The player under the gun opened and Vos over called in position. Vos was the only one calling the continuation bet on with two hearts. The turn was the and Vos checked behind when the option was on him. The on the river paired the board and Vos his opponent pushed all in. Vos folded his and got shown a bluff, his opponent just had .
Not much later Vos committed the 26,000 he had left. It was a pre flop all in with up against Ayaz Manji's . The flop spelled doom for Vos. The on the turn and on the river were of no help and Vos exited the tournament room.
Alexandra Petitjean didn’t have many chips left and when it was folded to her they were all over the line anyway. The big blind Ayaz Manji asked how much and was told 8,300. He called with his and Petitjean tabled . Her dark sunglasses came off as she prepared to see the flop come and a smile finally broke out across her face. “”Nice hand.” Manji said. “I had to call.” Petitjean, of course, agreed.
Renato Almeida está neste momento com 77,500 fichas e Hugo Félix tem 120,000 fichas.
Mesmo perdendo um pote com algum tamanho em , nas mãos do villain, Félix não desarma e acabou de dizer que na mesa já lhe perguntaram pelo Capitão Tomás Paiva, "dizem que é o maior"!
A slight setback for Mat Frankland (who always seems to do well here in Deauville) who unsuccessfully raced his against Philippe Pertuisot's . The board came - an ace on the river securing Pertuisot's survival.
A bit of Brit on Brit action to tell you about now involving JP Kelly and Mitch Johnson.
I joined the action on a flop, the pot size suggested this was a three-bet pot, first to act Johnson (under-the-gun+2) checked and Kelly (button) fired out a bet of 6,800 which, after some tanking Johnson called. The fell on the turn, Johnson checked again, Kelly took a look at Johnson's stack and then bet enough to set Johnson all-in, Johnson, who had 24,900 behind called instantly.
Kelly:
Johnson:
The river was a blank meaning Johnson doubled to around 77,500 whilst Kelly drops to 56,000.
