Glen Chorny Wins Pot Off Maxime Villemure:
They see a flop of
, and both check. The turn brings the
. Maxime checks, Glen bets 81k; call. River:
Check again to Glen, who bets 225k, eventually called by Maxime, who mucks upon seeing his
.
Speculation is rife as to the range Maxime Villemure would call with on the river - Ace high suggested by commentators. What do you think?
*********Note**********
I have to say I am somewhat relieved at the speed at which these players make decisions. There is nothing more annoying to watch (or, after a while, to play against) than a player who continually takes minutes to make decisions, all decisions, not just big or marginal ones...
One of the idiosyncrasies of playing online is that multitabling gets one used to making rapid calculatiions/decisions. This seems to translate to a very relieving no-drama no-nonsense style of live play from a lot of the young players, which is great, IMO. Downside: attention span problems with the live game...

Our resident Russian Valeriy makes it 87k, and shortstacked "Canuck" Maxime makes it All In (see counts above). Some dwellage; some call-age.
Maxime -
Valeriy -
Board -
Double-up for the Canadian ("Canuck", ah ha ha), and their stack sizes have been virtually reversed, Maxime now on roughly 1.5 million and Valeriy down to 800k or so.

Michael Martin raises on the button, called by big blind Valeriy...
the flop... Check to Michael, call.
Turn:
Quick check again. Michael checks behind.
River:
Valeriy bets out 100k... called.
Michael shows
but the
alone in Valeriy Ilikyan's hand is good enough to take it with the flush on the river. Clearly not delighted that (a) he'd been called so speculatively twice by Valeriy and (b) that he paid off the final bet with the four-flush so visible to everyone else.

He wins the next pot, though.

Double up for the toffee-eater (!), Micihael Martin calling a huge re-raise from Valeriy Ilikyan to find he has his man dominated with
versus
. "Bring on the Russian," I believe I heard Michael say as the cards were brought to the centre. A
board was a clinical one and Michael survives.

Isaac vs. Luca (orig. raiser)...
Flop:
Double check
Turn:
Isaac bets out now - and takes it down. Here he is! A fearsome avatar, translated into 3D, human form!

Valeriy Ilikyan
is OUT and becomes the
7th
placed finisher winning
€253,000
I was daydreaming at the time, my brain still thinking we were watching the clip highlighting the famous names playing this week, but in a flash of lightening we had an all-in.
Valeriy Ilikyan =
Michael Martin =

Suffering a little here from not-paying-attention-itis today, I'm afraid. Did anyone see that last hand? Can someone who
is
paying attention confirm whether Denes raised first? Either way, Glen (re)raises and Denes moves all in. Glen asks how much, but passes, allowing Denes to pick up a 1.119 million pot.

Heads up flop of
…
Michael bets 110k, when it’s checked to him. Isaac Baron flat calls.
Turn:
Check to Michael, who riffles two chips (if that oneontop-otherontop thing can be called a chip trick in the true sense of the word) and checks behind.
River:
Michael, when it’s checked to him a third time, bets 200k. The big rivercard, lack of noteiceable draws coming in and the big bet, all combine to make Baron press the Fold button.

This time Michael raises 80k, Glen re-raises over 200k, and Michael folds.

I'd like to take a moment here to comment on the total awesomeness of this structure. Going into this new, WHOPPING 20k/40k/4k level, the average stack is still over 60 big blinds. We could be here all night...
