Paul Michaelis is one of the two remaining former EPT champions with 25 hopefuls remaining and the German has a mountain to climb after folding to a shove from fellow countryman Manig Loeser. Michaelis had opened first to act and Loeser called in the cutoff.

A continuation bet and call on the flop was followed up by a bet of 160,000 by Michaelis on the turn. Loeser used one time bank extension and moved all in, which forced a near instant fold from Michaelis.

Ambrose Travers Keeps The Poker Party Going

Nível 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three months ago Ambrose Travers was in the Bahamas. He and a group of friends were there to cheer on Darren Millar as the latter lived out his Platinum Pass dream in the PSPC. It was such a good time that nobody wanted the party to end.

Now Travers is playing on Day 4 of the EPT Monte Carlo event, where he is one of just 30 players remaining. It’s something of a sequel to the PSPC festivities: while Travers battles with Sam Greenwood and Nicolas Chouity on the TV table, Millar and some of the same friends that cheered him on are here rooting for Travers.

“They’re the best friends in the world, they are,” he told PokerStars Blog this afternoon. “Darren did so well in the Bahamas, we couldn’t wait to get back home to get to the next tournament. PokerStars ran such a marvelous party there, we says, ‘What’s the next big event?’ The next big event was this one.”

So he jumped into a €5.50 satellite. Six hours later, after winning that first satellite and then the €55 and €530 qualifiers that it fed into, he’d earned himself a package to play in Monte Carlo.
