The Heartbreak Kid

Nível 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Johnny Lodden
Johnny Lodden

The European Poker Tour's own heartbreak kid is off to a hot start in Monaco today, surprising no one.

Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden has cashed a record 21 times in 10 straight seasons on the tour, made an impressive ten top 20 finishes, and three final tables. But the fan and media favorite has yet to win one.

In fact, the Grand Final has provided some of Lodden's most heartbreaking finishes, including a run to fourth place last year, third in 2013 and 17th in 2008.

Today, Lodden has it up close to 80,000 already, but told PokerNews it has been a slow grind, devoid of the big confrontations that often accompany all that heartbreak.

"Just climbing, slowly climbing," he said.

Strong Start by The Defending Champ

Nível 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Last season Adrian Mateos beat a field of 564 players to capture the first-place prize of €1,082,000, and he's off to a strong start again today with 58,000 chips in front of him right now.

Mateos - who's just 21 years old - has $4.3 million in live tournament earnings already, including a WSOPE Main Event title from 2013 for €1,000,000. Two weeks ago - in the World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock - Mateos came close to completing the Triple Crown as the youngest ever, but he busted out in fourth place for $200,510.

Ever since bursting onto the live tournament scene with a victory in the Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event for €103,053 in 2013, Mateos has been unstoppable and he's looking to carry that into this event.

Finger Building

Martin Finger
Martin Finger

EPT star Martin Finger, who counts his EPT8 Prague Main Event win, his EPT10 London £50,000 Super High Roller win and his latest EPT12 Barcelona €25,000 High Roller win among his biggest poker accomplishments, is climbing the ladder early here in Monaco.

The perennial threat has it up over 80,000 now, after an under the gun raise got called twice, but he managed to push those opponents off the pot with a simple continuation bet on an {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} flop.

Selbst Steps Back

Nível 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst hasn't played much poker in 2016, with only one small result to speak of.

However, poker's all-time leading money winner among female players, with a substantial $11,728,256 in career tournament earnings, is always a threat to run deep.

Having turned up to play in Monaco today, Selbst got off to a hot start, building her stack up into the 75,000-chip range. Moments ago, she joined two opponents in checking an {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, but when one checked the {k-Spades} turned, she led for 900.

Just one player called in position and when Selbst led the {j-Clubs} river for 2,200, he raised to 6,750 total. Selbst made the call, but mucked, moving a bit below her peak point of the day so far when he showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for two pair.

Lebanese pro Albert Daher continues to set the pace here, getting paid off with his big hands and running over his table.

Daher was just seen betting 2,200 into a 6,000-chip pot on the river of an {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} board. His opponent paid the freight and mucked when Daher showed the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Daher is now pushing up close to the 150,000-chip mark with the second break just minutes away.

Gu Soars, Moreira de Melo Chips Up and Grassi Comes Crashing Down

Nível 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Amassing a stack worth six figures on Day 1 of any EPT is a great accomplishment, and Italian player Samuele Grassi managed to do just that halfway through the second level of the day. Now, just two hours later, he finds himself on the rail in disbelief at his luck.

Grassi - loud but polite - complained about his luck as he shook hands with the other players at the table before exiting the room.

Ten minutes earlier we arrived at Grassi's table, with about 45,000 chips in front of him, while Team PokerStars SportsStar Fatima Moreira de Melo and Huidong Gu were tangled up in a pot.

Moreira de Melo had raised before the flop, and after receiving two calls, the flop brought out {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts}. She bet 900. Only Gu called, and the turn brought the {K-Spades}. This time, the former Olympic field hockey champion bet 2,500 and Gu raised it up to 7,000.

Moreira de Melo went into the tank for a while before calling, and the {A-Clubs} completed the board. Moreira de Melo checked to Gu, who thought for a bit before checking behind.

In frustration of Gu's check, Moreira de Melo tabled {k-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for quads, and Gu smiled, very pleased with his check.

"Jacks," Gu said, and Moreira de Melo cried out the ace was the worst possible card for her.

The atmosphere at the table was very jovial, as everyone laughed with Gu continuing to talk.

On the very next hand, things quieted down a bit when Moreira de Melo raised to 500 under the gun and James Akenhead called. Gu three-bet to 2,100 from the hijack and Grassi called from the cutoff. Both Moreira de Melo and Akenhead also called to create four-way action.

The flop brought out the {3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and the action quickly checked to Grassi, who bet 3,700. Moreira de Melo called, and both Akenhead and Gu quickly folded.

On the {7-Clubs} turn, both players checked. The river completed the board with the {A-Diamonds}, and Moreira de Melo lead out for 7,500. Grassi tanked for a bit, but eventually he made the call.

The Dutch player revealed {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, and Grassi was far from happy yelling, "I flopped two pairs!"

"My tournament is over now!" Grassi yelled. "All I do is push or fold."

Grassi went on to rattle off all the hands he lost in the last two levels, and Moreira de Melo smiled saying, "I'm just lucky."

"I'm lucky in life, but not in poker," Grassi responded, still sitting with 23,000 chips.

Two hands later, a player limped and Grassi moved all in right away.

"Blind!" Grassi yelled. "All in blind!"

"No look!" Grassi continued, keeping his cards covered by some chips.

Moreira de Melo gave it some thought, but she ultimately folded, and the limper called right away.

Grassi's opponent showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, and the Italian player revealed the {10-Clubs} followed by the {10-Hearts}. His opponent burst out in laughter.

"You f*** face!" Moreira de Melo laughed, "You f*****."

Grassi played up his innocence, as a large crowd gathered for the all-in showdown.

The flop brought out {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, and the intensity grew, as Grassi flopped a set versus a gutshot straight draw.

Gu - excited for Grassi - went in to hug and congratulate him, "You win!"

"Don't touch me!" Grassi yelled, "You are unlucky."

The turn brought the {Q-Spades}, and Grassi's opponent filled up his straight.

"I told you, Don't touch me!" Grassi cried out, as Gu watched his neighbor's stack evaporate.

The river was the meaningless {7-Spades}, and Grassi was left with just 1,300 chips, which he lost on the very next hand.

Grassi's EPT Grand Final roller coaster ride ends in the fourth level, and with that, peace and quiet returns to Table 25 in the Salle Des Etoiles.
