Chris Oliver, who resides in Costa Rica these days, has just been eliminated. Greek player Iliodoros Kamatakis, who cashed in the EPT in Vienna not too long ago (79th for €10,650), was the one responsible.
Oliver open shoved the button for 9,600. Kamatakis made the call from the big blind and it was time for both players to show their cards. Oliver had while Kamatakis tabled .
The flop improved Kamatakis and set back Oliver's chances a lot. The on the turn wasn't one of the cards that Oliver any outs to win the pot on the river. The on the river gave Kamatakis a full house he didn't even need.
Oliver is out, but we might see him again later this week as there's a €10,000 High Roller coming up which he might play.
After an under the gun raise to 1,400, Gaelle Baumann called on the button and so did Riccardo Mazzitelli in the big blind. On the flop Mazzitelli bet 4,500 and Baumann flat called, the initial raiser folded. On the turn the Italian pretty much check-raised all in when raising to 17,000 with 25,000 stack in total.
Baumann had bet 7,000 and then moved all in with the superior stack as well as the . Mazzitelli turned over the and joined the rail after the river completed the board.
We did not catch the name of the player that hit the rail but he was all in for 8,000 and Ana Marquez reraised all in to isolate successfully. It was the of the Spaniard against the of her opponent and a queen popped up on the turn.
With only 45 minutes left of today’s play a few players are letting their hair down with a cold beer. Having sunk one round Sebastian Langrock from Germany offered to buy Davide Magnan and Michael Telker another Peroni. They accepted the offer and when it arrived clinked their cans together saying, “Cheers!”
“Do you have any whiskey?” asked Iliodoros Kamatakis to some laughter. When the waitress confirmed they did have he said he would come and get one later. No shots just yet then.
Alexander Zayonts moved all in on the turn of a board showing and was called by Alessandro Meoni.
Zayonts had hit top pair with his but with a sigh and a nod he saw his opponent’s flopped set and stood up. The river was the and Zayonts took his leave.
We missed the pre flop action but saw very well what happened post flop. Jason Lavallee and Dan Murariu were once again at it, and again Lavallee would come out on top.
Lavallee checked the flop, and called after Murariu bet 600. Lavallee checked once more on the -turn and Murariu bet again 600. Lavallee made it 1,200 and Murariu raised to 1,800. This still was a no-limit hold'em tournament, but these two were min-raising like crazy. Lavallee called and the river came the .
Lavallee bet out 600 and Murariu raised to 1,200. Lavallee was done min-raising and tossed in two 5,000 chips to make it 10,600. Murariu called but wouldn't get those chips back. Lavallee showed for a rivered flush. Murariu mucked his and licked his wounds.
All through the hand both Lavallee and Greenwood almost couldn't hold a straight face, constantly grinning. Lavallee finally did really laugh after the river, almost excusing himself; "I never laugh after I win a hand, but that was one of the most absurd hands I ever played". Murariu, who still has a reasonable stack left, was grinning himself after playing a rather bizar hand.
After a preflop raise from Nacho Barbero, the button and the big blind call to see the flop. The action checked to Mario Vojvoda on the button and he bet 3,000, the big blind called. Barbero reraised to 8,000 and only Vojvoda called that. On the both players checked and then Barbero led the river for 16,000. Vojvoda tanked for about two minutes before releasing his cards and then asked his opponent, "Would you have liked a call?". Barbero grinned back, "Yeah."
