Rivory Seeks Early Exit

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Hideki Nakayama raised to 500 from the cutoff and Uri Netanel made it 1,300 to go from the button. Philippe Rivory then four-bet to 5,500 from the big blind and only Netanel made the call.

The flop came down 7♦K♥A♠ and Rivory promptly jammed his stack of 12,500 chips in the middle. Netanel made a swift call and the cards were tabled.

Philippe Rivory: J♥J♣
Uri Netanel: A♥J♠

Rivory was down to just one direct out, although the Q♣ turn brought some chop outs. The 3♥ river was a blank, however, and Rivory quickly headed towards the exit.

On other tables, Him Chan and Toni Kaukua were also eliminated, after which they immediately reentered.

Mifsud Doubles, Still Leaves

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Kemal Aslan and Brandon Mifsud got all of their chips in the middle at some point in the hand. A board of A♠7♠3♣J♥ laid on the table and Aslan's A♥Q♠ was also visible.

However, Mifsud had stormed off from the table. All players at the table corroborated that his J♠J♥ lay in the muck after Mifsud had done so himself, meaning that Aslan would be drawing dead. The floor was quickly called over and ran to get the missing player.

Mifsud was brought back to the table, but stated "I don't know why everyone keeps bringing me back here like I've killed someone."

After the floor retrieved his cards from the muck and repeatedly explained to Mifsud that he was a lock to win the hand, he acknowledged the fact, but still opted to go towards the exit. The table was left bewildered while the 2♥ completed the board.

The pot was shipped to Mifsud's seat, while Aslan was left with 13,000, which he would lose not much later.

Mifsud has not been seen since, and his stack will be continuously blinded down until he returns, if he chooses to do so.

Kassouf Triples Up in the Lobby

Nível 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The €3,000 Mystery Bounty is always a popular tournament, and once again enough entries have been made that the overflow tables were filled up in the Hilton lobby.

On one of those tables, Alexandre Landron raised to 1,000 from the hijack and got called by William Kassouf in the cutoff. Agostino Scozzari then made it 3,800 to go from the button and both players came along.

On the 7♦Q♠3♠ flop, the action was checked to Scozzari, who made a bet of 8,000. Landron called before Kassouf shoved all in for 26,600. Scozzari said he put Kassouf on a set, but made the call anyway, and Landron stuck in his stack of 24,800 as well.

Alexandre Landron: A♠Q♥
William Kassouf: 3♥3♣
Agostino Scozzari: K♥K♦

Kassouf indeed had a set, and it held as no king appeared on the turn or river.

Landron exited while Kassouf stacked up his three starting stacks.

Unlucky Run Out Sends Vinayagamoorthy Out

Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Iliodoros Kamatakis opened in the hijack and Karl Skolin called on the button before David Vinayagamoorthy three-bet to 5,100 in the small blind. Kamatakis put in a four-bet to 16,500, forcing Skolin to fold and Vinayagamoorthy jammed for about 21,400 total and Kamatakis called.

David Vinayagamoorthy: A♥A♦
Iliodoros Kamatakis: K♠10♣

The K♣8♦3♥ flop paired Kamatakis, but he was still behind the aces of Vinayagamoorthy. The 2♠ turn changed nothing but the K♦ river sent Vinayagamoorthy walking away from the table.

Gomez Gets There to Eliminate Duarte

Nível 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three players brewed a pot of about 30,000 before the Q♦8♣5♦ flop, and Philip Skarstedt led for 7,000 before Nuno Duarte jammed his remaining stack of about 14,000. Alvaro Gomez shoved all in as well, forcing Skarstedt to muck his hand and both hands were tabled.

Nuno Duarte: J♥J♠
Alvaro Gomez: A♦J♦

Giuliano Bendinelli: A♣9♣
Mario Krastev: J♦10♦
