Daniel Negreanu opened the betting for 700 and Max Altergott three-bet him to 2,000 and the blinds folded. Negreanu then made the four-bet to 5,200 and Altergott thought for a moment before making the call.
They saw a flop of . Negreanu bet 6,500 and Altergott made the call. The turn saw Negreanu up the pressure with a bet of 11,000. A brief pause before Altergott paid the price to see the river.
When the came off the table Negreanu rapped the table to check and Altergott checked behind. “Ace high.” Negreanu said and the of Altergott was good.
“Bad card.” said Negreanu referring to the river. ALtergott had a naturally different opinion. “I was like NICE. In my head it was a party.”
Artem Litvninov is seated in seat one and just opened for 800. The dealer thought he wanted to fold though and mucked his cards. Max Silver had already invested in the pot but Litvinov had no cards anymore. Litvinov retrieved what he believed were his two cards from the muck, and the brush got called over.
The brush ruled that Litvinov's hand was dead, and that he was allowed to grab back 500 from his 800 raise. "I have two kings!" shouted Litvinov with an angry voice. "I go allin, no problem for me!" he continued angrily while he pushed his entire stack forward. It wouldn't go like that, he lost the 300 which would have been a limp, and that was it. "I have two kings and I lose 300!" he muttered to anybody who wanted to hear it.
Litvinov is still doing well with about 80,000 in chips.
After conquering EPT10 Sanremo just a few weeks ago, Vicky Coren Mitchell is back on the felt. She tells Jennifer Robles how she's been enjoying the spotlight during a break in the EPT Grand Final High Roller.
It’s no fun playing a High Roller when you’re short on chips and on your first bullet. Surely it’s far better to bust as quickly as you can and pull out another €25,000 to get a full stack to play with again. At least that seems to be the philosophy of Chane Kampanatsanyakorn from Thailand. He’d lost a fairly big pot to Dmitry Yurasov at the start of the day and it doesn’t seem to have got any better for him since.
Down to his last 3,150 Kampanatsanyakorn shoved over an open from Imad Derwiche who made the fold. Soon after he shoved from the small blind and the big blind folded . He then open shoved from the button for 3,600 and got called by [Removed:119] in the small blind.
Big blind Bryn Kenney wanted to take the pot heads up and re-popped it to 9,100. Bensadoun though made the call and they saw a flop of . Bensadoun checked and folded to a bet of 7,000 from Kenney who turned over . Kampanatsanyakorn tuned over .
The turn and river meant he tripled up and the re-buy would have to wait a while.
