The board was already complete when Matas Cimbolas said to Sam Greenwood: "You don't have to go all in," before the Canadian did exactly that. The pot was around 8,000 chips and Cimbolas had 6,075 to call. "I knew it," the Lithuanian said with a smirk on the face before releasing his cards into the muck after some consideration.
After a preflop raise to Bahram Chobineh and the call of Christian Golob, the action was checked to the Austrian on a flop of . Golob moved all in to put his opponent at risk and Chobineh called for his last 19,075 with .
Golob only had the for two over cards and a backdoor diamond draw. The spade killed the additional outs, but the dealer then flipped over the river to improve Golob's hand. "Sorry, I am the lucky one," the Austrian said to his opponent before stacking the chips.
Agshin Rasulov played the €25,000 High Roller earlier in the week, but he didn't have much luck in that event. It seemed he may be destined to the same fate here in the Main Event as he got his short stack of 3,500 all in preflop holding the and was way behind the of Diego Zeiter.
Fortunately for Rasulov, lady luck smiled on him and delivered him a pair on the flop. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing, and Rasulov scored the double. That said, the man from Azerbaijan is still on the shorter side of things.
Dominik Panka raised to 700 from middle position and Thomas Muehloecker called from the cutoff. Simon Higgins then called from the small blind, Joey Lovelady came along from the big, and four players went to the flop, which came down .
After all players checked, the dealer burned and turned the . Once again it was checks all around. When the completed the board on the river, it went check-check to Panka, who decided to bet 1,300. One by one his opponents folded, and Panka took down the small pot.
It wasn't much of a hand, but gave us a good excuse to update you on their chip counts.
We grabbed a moment with a few players and had them give answer to a fake scenario.
"PokerStars have added €100,000 to the first place prize here at EPT Malta but there’s a catch: you have 24 hours to spend it from the moment you win. What’s your plan?"
Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen: I’m going to invite all my friends and have a monster party. I’ll get some really good music so I'll need to hire a band. I’m really hooked on a Canadian band called Bare Naked Ladies or an English band called the Beautiful South – so I’d hire them if I could afford them and get them here in time.
Marvin Rettenmaier: Wow! This is not easy. I don’t really need a car, I actually don’t really need anything and I’d feel bad wasting that much money on a party or something. I would get you something! Whatever you want but maybe not for the whole hundred thousand. Ah, I know! I’d get some poker lessons with Ike [Haxton], I’ve heard they’re $3,000/hour.
Mustapha Kanit: Oh wow! I’d probably buy a car if I have 24 hours and I have to spend it. I’m a lazy guy so it’s easy to spend it all on a car. The funny thing is I don’t even have a license!
Dan Smith: I don’t know what Ibiza is like at this time of year but I’d charter a jet or helicopter there, depending on what’s more feasible, and I think we’d all have a party!
Ludovic Geilich: I’d play dice at the closest table I could find. I’d also give half to charity. So, fifty thousand to charity and gamble the other half. I’d hope to have some profit at the end of the 24 hours and I’d share all that between friends and myself.
Sorel Mizzi: Three words – hookers and blow! No, 100k in 24hours? I would buy gold, obviously, and convert it into cash later. That’s the ultimate answer but if I couldn’t find gold, hookers and blow.
John O’Shea: I’d punt it on a bet and hope to spin it up. What ever is on next Saturday, it’d all go on that. It’d be a quick way to spend the money and get rid of it in 24 hours.
Antoly Filatov: I’m going to buy everything I can find here in Malta and then take it all back to Russia and sell it for twice the price. Then I’d have €200,000 and that’s a plan, all tax-free too!
