will_shill

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

According to Daniel Chuprun, he was involved in a hand that resulted in the elimination of Landon Tice 40 minutes into Day 1b.

Chuprun had opened and got calls from Tice on the button as well as the player in the small blind. Samuel Ju then three-bet from the big blind to 3,000. Chuprun folded and Tice shoved for around 9,000. The small blind folded and Ju called.

Tice held but had run into the pocket kings of Ju, which held to send the American to the rail.

connorrichards

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Michael Sklenicka opened to 300 from early position and Ludovic Heude three-bet to 1,200 from late position.

Ahead of the three-bet, the player to the left of Heude accidentally folded without realizing Heude hadn't acted, leading the next two players to fold as well, according to those at the table. Sklenicka four-bet to 3,800 and Heude called.

The flop came and Sklenicka bet 2,200. Heude raised to 6,800 and Sklenicka called. Sklenicka then checked on the turn and Heude bet 7,200. Sklenicka again called.

Sklenicka checked once more on the river and his opponent moved all in for around 11,700. Sklenicka called. Heude nodded in defeat and reluctantly tabled for a stone bluff with ace-high to be eliminated early in the day.

Ace-King "Very Good" for Elul

connorrichards

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Alessandro Spina opened to 600 from under the gun and two players flat-called before Ori Haim Elul three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. All three players called.

The flop landed and Elul continued for 4,000 into the pot that had already bloated to above 16,000. One-by-one, his three opponents folded to earn him the pot without further contention.

"Your ace-king is good!" someone at the table laughed.

"Ace-kind is very good!" Elul replied before slamming face-up on the table.

An Orbit with WSOP Final Tablist Philippe Souki - "An Idiot With a Dream"

will_shill

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Earlier this year, Philippe Souki recorded an eighth-place finish in the WSOP Main Event for $1,075,000 and is now here in London playing in the EPT Main Event. A regular on the EPT, Souki even cashed on the UKIPT when the EPT visited London in 2013.

Hand #1: Souki folded his button.

Hand #2: After the hijack opened to 500 , Souki called in the cutoff as did both blinds. The four players checked down the flop and turn and the river was the . Abu Hamza Khalek checked his small blind and Kayhan Mokri bet 3,700 into a pot of just over 2,000. It folded back to Khalek who called.

"Five-high," said Mokri, with Khalek tabling for trip jacks and the winner.

Hand #3: Souki raised to 500 from the hijack and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #4: Souki folded from early position

Hand #5: Souki folded from under the gun

Hand #6: Souki checked his big blind after Frederic Normand limped in the small blind. They checked down the board and chopped the pot after Normand and Souki both tabled queen-high.

Hand #7: Souki folded his small blind to an under-the-gun open.

Any table featuring Mokri is a lively one, and this was no exception. Mokri played yesterday only to bust short of Day 2 and is joined at the table by the likes of Toby Joyce and Vladas Tamasauskas.

"I was trying to figure out where I had played with you before," Tamasauskas said to Souki. "But then I realised it's from the WSOP."

"I love Main Events. Super slow and super fun, and you get to meet cool people. But why do I always get the clinic tables," bemoaned Mokri.

"I'm not a clinic," said Souki. "I'm just an idiot with a dream!"
