Ivan Luca busted from the Main Event on Day 4 and immediately signed up for the High Roller tournament along with a few other notables that have been spotted.
Arriving at the table on the turn with around 13,800 chips in the pot, Lily Kiletto bet 11,000 and Sergey Sergeev moved all in for 43,150. "So this is your first hand and you try to get it in?" Kiletto said. Some table talk followed and Sergeev "admitted" that he is afraid to play against women, which made Ben Wilinofsky and JC Alvarado chuckle.
Ultimately, Kiletto was trying to make up her mind and said "I don't believe you have queen-ten, I think you have ace-ten, the ." Kiletto called about one minute later and sure enough Sergeey turned over the for the straight. Kiletto was not drawing dead yet with , but the river was a blank and Kiletto was left with 325 chips only.
Those vanished shortly after, making her the first casualty of the tournament in level one.
After winning a seat in through the €500 + €50 One Rebuy/One Add on Super Satellite Wednesday, Lily Kiletto just took it, recognizing Joao Vieira from her table last night and another player from back home in the United States.
"There's two of my nemeses at this table," she said. "Joao from last night and Jonathan Little from every tournament ever."
Considering Little has $6,248,881 in career tournament earnings, there's bound to be more than one player who feels the same way. These two are both from Florida, however, with Little fourth on the all-time money list in that state and Kiletto 105th.
Little is obviously here looking to book a big score in the last big event on the EPT12 Malta schedule and says he's actually headed back to his home state and the City of Jacksonville next to play a WPT event.
Kiletto, is skipping though, said she will actually be heading to Thailand the first time since she was a kid for a vacation, but will be looking to make it a memorable one by getting in for a discount here and cashing big first.
The tournament clock now shows 63 entries and among the latest additions to the field were PokerStars Team Pro Theo Jorgensen as well as Jason Wheeler, who final-tabled the €25,000 and the €10,000 Single-Day High Roller events on back-to-back days here on Malta.
On the turn, Vicente Delgado checked in the big blind and Ricardo Alvarado bet 2,200. Delgado called and checked again the river, prompting Alvarado to bet 5,800. Delgado called once more and then mucked when he was shown the by his opponent.
On the river of a board, Luca Pagano led for what looked like 1,900 chips and Corey Hochman raised to 4,500. Pagano called and was shown for a straight to send his cards into the muck. Right after the hand, Anatoly Filatov arrived at the table and JC Alvarado is in as well.
The screens currently show 50 entrants, though it is still very early on.
PokerStars Team Pro Andre Akkari, EPT and High Roller regular Ihar Soika as well as EPT10 Vienna High Roller champion Fabrice Soulier have just taken their seats.
In a battle of the blinds, a raising war started between Jeff Rossiter and Vicente Delgado. The former squeezed to 2,900 out of the small blind and was called before both saw the flop . A continuation bet by the Australian won the pot without any further resistance.
Delgado, a former Supernova Elite on PokerStars, was Team Online member while living in Spain and has since moved to the UK.
Seven players won seats to today’s €10k High Roller after competing in last night’s €500 Super satellite.
This includes Brazilian Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari, EPT Copenhagen champion Anton Wigg, EPT Deauville winner Remi Castaignon and EPT Barcelona High Roller winner Jonathan Currle.
Jean Montury, last season’s EPT Malta Main Event champion just missed, finishing eighth for €3,560, so he may get in later as well.
For now, we start 20 minutes late with the clock reading 39 entries and 21players actually on the felt.
