Sebastian Langrock opened on the cutoff for 2,100 and Sorel Mizzi in the small blind clicked it back for 5,800. Langrock moved all in for 18,400 with the and got a call by the birthday boy from Canada with the . The board delivered no help for Mizzi and he is now below starting stack. This table will be the webcast feature table after the first break on Day 1B.
We missed the precise action, but just saw Dimitar Danchev call all in on the river on a board of .
Dustin Graves tapped the table in defeat and tabled his from the big blind. Danchev showed his from the cutoff position and raked in the rather big pot.
Danchev had his American opponent just covered by a bit, but it was enough to send Graves home.
Three players were looking at a flop of . The big blind had checked and Enrico Mosca bet 2,500 from under the gun. Dominik Nitsche made the call and the big blind folded to get it heads up.
The came on the turn. A potentially scary card and Mosca duly checked and then called a bet of 7,500 from Nitsche. The river was again checked by Mosca and Nitsche bet over Mosca’s stack which was 15,100.
Mosca turned his chips over and over on the felt. Stacking and re-stacking them. If he called and won he would have a somewhat playable stack. Lose and his tournament was over. In the end he opted to fold and hang on to what remained of his stack.
Michael Telker is one of the few players we have witnessed at EPT’s who don’t mixing a few alcoholic beverages with their poker; sometimes more than a few. Telker is a talkative friendly American from St Louis who will either make firm friends at the table or become the table irritant amongst the more serious players.
We are at the first break of the day and Telker is already a few Peronis in but at least he’s found someone to join him as Kevin MacPhee, two seats to his right, is also enjoying a few cold ones.
[Removed:17] has about 265,000 in chips in front of him. Starting out as the chip leader, Yan was on our radar from the get go, but somehow we didn't see him win monster pots to get to this massive stack.
We double checked with Yan and he said we didn't really miss anything big. Yan started out on the feature table, but is now seated in the main tournament area again.
We got to the table of Luca Moschitta and he sat on very solid 125,000 in chips. It turns out that he eliminated a player just before the break when flopping a full house with pocket fours. He flatted the preflop raise to see the flop and only called a continuation bet.
On the turn the Italian bet 6,500 and his opponent check-raised to 13,500 before moving all in after the river. It was snapped off by Moschitta and his full house was good.
In the first hand we saw a three bet preflop with Toby Lewis as initial raiser under the gun and Andrey Lobzhanidze raised, call by Lewis. On the flop Lobzhanidze made it 6,000 to go and Lewis check-raised all in for 42,200 to scoop the pot without showdown.
One hand later Christian Favale from the PokerStars Team Online moved all in with the and got isolated two seats further from . The board delivered a split pot. Again one hand later Favale shoved again, this time for 14,000. The big blind Martic Andrija called with the and this time there was no split pot against the . On the board Favale finally doubled up. Fellow Team Online member Ronan Monfort is sitting next to him and could do with the same as well.
