No big hands on the second feature table so far but the players are beginning to feel each other out with a lot of glances at stack sizes and betting postures. A few of the hands that have happened went down like this…
Igor Kurganov opened for 45,000 from UTG+1 and when it folded to Daniel Colman all eyes were on him as he took a few moments to three-bet to 110,000. It folded round to Kurganov who mucked his hand.
A couple of hands later short stack Olivier Busquet open shoved and it folded to big blind Ole Schemion who looked at his cards almost expecting to find something to call with but shook his head and folded. Blinds and antes to Busquet.
Richard Yong opened from the button for 40,000. Schemion three bet him to 125,000 from the big blind and Yong responded by splashing out a pile of T25000 chips for a bet of around 380,000. Schemion folded face up.
Mike 'Timex' McDonald has played his fair share of Super High Rollers to which he admits, is often the same crowd. So with a record-breaking turnout in the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo Casino EPT Grand Final event, he discusses with Jennifer Robles what it's like having a few new faces in the mix.
Lo Shing Fung limped in for 20,000 from under the gun plus one. Daniel Cates completed from the small blind and action was on Daniel Negreanu in the big blind. He shoved allin for 502,000.
Lo didn't fold so quickly and really thought about it. Negreanu made for some theatre but Lo wasn't impressed. Lo made the call, Cates folded quickly.
Lo Shing Fung:
Daniel Negreanu:
The on the flop was of no use to anyone, besides some back doors for Negreanu. The
