The EPT10 Vienna is a part of a 40-event festival, and this past weekend some of those tournament played out. For instance, Event #8 €250 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed Double Chance attracted 107 players and created a prize pool of €25,948.
Here's a look at the results from that tournament:
Jonathan Duhamel's seat was empty but the seat card was still out there so it had happened recently. Former table mate Timothy Adams told us that someone had opened from late position with ace-jack. Duhamel had shoved all in for about 21 big blinds with ace-eight and got called. No eight or other escape for the Canadian Team Pro and out he was.
As we walked out of the tournament room we saw Martin Jacobson sit down in one of the side events. Unless he's multi tabling while on the short stack, we must conclude he's out of the tournament.
On a flop and Atik Miah from the UK checked it to Gus Hansen on thu button. "The Great Dane" bet out 1,500 in all but two of the small denomination chips he had. Miah called rather quickly.
The on the turn made Miah check once again. Hansen moved all in for 5,050 and Miah was thinking about it. Hansen expressed to the table how he was happy his opponent didn't insta-call. Hansen kept on smiling and stated he expected his opponent not to have jack-nine or five-six now after the tanking.
Maybe the talking got to Miah, or he just didn't buy Hansen's constant aggression, and he called. Holding Miah needed some help though as Hansen was the proud owner of .
The on the river was a blank and Hansen doubled to a little under 20,000.
Bernabeu Guilabert opened for 1.150 and was raised by one of the bigger stacks in the room Jozsef Olah to 3,000. Christopher Ulsrud has his own plans in the small blind though and made it 6,000 to go. The big blind and the original raiser folded and Olah thought for a while, re-checking his cards before folding face up to the surprise of the table. One player saying, “Not call? So beautiful.” Olah just shook his head.
Marco van Opzeeland opened for 1,200 and was called by Dejan Divkovic. It folded round to David Vamplew in the small blind who put the squeeze on with a raise and worked like a charm as his opponents folded and the chips were pushed his way.
Francesco Fama opened for 1,100, got a call from Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov and when it got round to UK PokerStars player Tom Alner in the small blind he moved all in for his last 14,800. Back on Fama, he decided to call and when Katchalov folded the two players exposed their cards. The at risk Alner tabled and was racing against the of Fama.
The final board read giving Alner his pair and a double up.
Robin Ylitalo, winner of one of two 2013 EPT London's (the other one was won by Ruben Visser), just got up from the table and made his way to the exit. Though we stood right next to the table, somehow we missed the hand and had to ask Anton Wigg what had happened.
Wigg told us Ylitalo got mixed up in a pre flop raising war where he eventually (1,125 - 2,600 - 6,300 - all in - call) pushed with . His opponent four bet called with ace-king and was ahead.
The flop displayed a queen and for a little while it looked like Ylitalo would double. The river king spoiled that party though and he made his way out of the tournament room.
There have been a slew of post-dinner eliminations, and one of the fallen is EPT Vilamoura champ Toby Lewis.
It happened when a player opened for 1,100, Brendan Keenan flatted, and Lewis shipped all in for 9,325. The original raiser folded, but Keenan made the call.
Lewis:
Keenan:
Lewis got it in good, and he held the best hand after the flop paired his ten. However, Keenen picked up both straight and flush draws, the former of which he'd make when the dealer burned and turned the . The useless completed the board on the river and Lewis' day came to an end here in Level 7.
