Dominik Nitsche has just been moved onto a tough table that includes WSOP bracelet winners Erik Cajelais, Sam Stein and Joe Ebanks. Lucikly for Nitsche the table is one of tables scheduled to break very soon. The wee german is up to 11,900 after winning this hand.

Erik Cajelais raised to 300 in the hijack seat and Nitsche three-bet on the button making it 900 to play. The blinds folded and Cajelais decided to see the flop. The flop was {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {5-Diamonds} and a 825 Nitsche c-bet did the trick.

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

We arrived at the Selbst, Eames and O'Shea table and there was an empty space that used to house Vanessa Selbst. We were going to ask John Eames what happened but he got involved in this hand.

Eames raised to 225 from the cut-off and John O'Shea called on the button. The flop was {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and Eames bet 400 and O'Shea called. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and both players decided a showdown was the best course of action and it was O'Shea that won the hand.

Nível 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

328 players started today and after three full levels we've already lost 139 players. The starting stacks aren't that deep creating a lot of early action, as play goes on we expect the pace to slow down. The average stack is 7,810 chips.

Martins Adeniya Joins The Cast

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

We may be losing players quicker than Long John Silver loses his legs but we are also getting some late arrivals. One such player is Martins Adeniya and he just picked up a little pot before everyone was moved out of Majestic #2 room.

Adeniya raised to 225 on the button and both blinds called. The flop was {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} and Adeniya c-bet 225 and just the small blind hung around for the turn. The turn was the {J-Spades} and the small blind led for 500 but Adeniya pumped it up to 1,200 and the small blind snap-folded.
