Reigning European Poker Media Person of the Year Eliminated

[user153638]

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Marc Convey, a recurring reporter at PokerNews, was taking a shot in his first-ever EPT Main Event. Unfortunately for the reigning European Poker Media Person of the Year, his time was just cut short by Sebastian Pauli.

It happened when Convey, who some will also recognize as a former EPTLive commentator, opened for 2,200 from middle position and Pauli three-bet to 5,400 from the button. The blinds both folded, and Convey thought for a few moments before four-betting all in for what looked to be 21,000. Pauli snap-called and Convey seemed to know he was in trouble.

Convey:
Pauli:

Indeed, Convey was dominated, and he began to get up put of his chair. The flop didn't do him any favors, and while the turn delivered him a flush draw, the river failed to complete it.

"Good luck," Convey offered the table, which also included reigning EPT Player of the Year Dzmitry Urbanovich and online legend Liviu "0Human0" Ignat.

Nível 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Riots were starting to break out on Twitter when it seemed as though Friend of PokerStars Jaime Staples had been knocked out from his first ever EPT Main Event, but things settled down when he gave a sign of life.

Staples was hoovering a little below the 30,000-chip starting stack, and we just went over to see what he was up to in the tournament. The first hand we watched was folded before the flop by Staples, but on the very next one he threw in a raise to 2,200 from middle position.

The action folded to Abbas Moradi in the small blind and he three-bet to 6,200, getting the big blind to quickly fold.

"All in," Staples calmly announced for 21,300, and Moradi tossed one chip forward to signal the call.

Moradi:
Staples:

Things were looking good for the Canadian pro who remained ahead on . The turn was a bit scary as the popped up, giving Moradi a flush draw, but the river sealed the deal with the .

Quietly Staples raked in a much needed double up, while Twitch chat would've gone crazy if they had been able to see one of their favorite players rake in a big pot.
