Eric Liu just played out a big pot with Gualter Salles, the Brazilian ex-Indy Car driver.
Eric raised it up, only for Salles to push over the top for another 100k or so...
Getting 2-1, Liu called with A-J, only to find himself dominated by the Brazilian's pocket Jacks.
Needing a bullet, or other strange combination of cards to outdraw Salles, Liu finally started to turn round his spell of bad fortune as he hit the flop of
hard...
As the turn and river blanked in the form of the
and
, the unfortunate Salles was sent to the rail with a 20k cheque as consolation...

Antony
Lellouche
raises to 42k from the small blind and Busch calls from the big blind.
Lellouche checks, Busch bets 57k and Lellouche reraises to 150k. Busch thinks for a moment then callls.
Check check.
Check check.
Lellouche declares, "Small pair." Busch shows
and rakes in almost 400k in chips.

watched the live feed a bit earlier, Noah boaken was a decent co commentator.
I wasn't a huge fan, but he was better than most of the Stars people. Bring back
Brandon
Schaefer
and
Ryan
Daut
!!!
And NEVER give
Vanessa
Rousso
a microphone imo.
Gavin
Griffin
does a good job.
I like the way Pokerstars get their players involved with the media work.
I think Floppy should be given the gig.
There's not nearly enough referencing of obscure Futurama characters and incomprehensible Omaha bad beats in the EPTlive commentary in my opinion...
I agree. Someone start a facebook group or something. I want in dammit!

Michael Martin called an all in pre of
high flop and
on turn made it look unlikely for the AK... but the redraw
on river makes the nuts broadway for the 1 of many short stack players
michael loses, 1/100th of his stack.

The Suck, Re-Suck
Canadian Christopher Wolters shoved his 10 Big blinds in preflop, only to run into Liu with a hand!
Wolters had been trying to steal the blinds with A-2, but Liu had him in trouble with his pocket Kings.
Liu had spiked a bullet to outdraw Salles Jacks previously but the tables were turned as an exciting A-J-T flop popped out, threatening a suck-out in Wolters favour but giving Liu a few outs for the re-suck.
The press and rail gasped as the dealer dealt the dramatic turn...which was a King!
So trips for Liu as the pendulum swung his way in a classic suck/resuck scenario...
With various shouts heard from the crowd of "Queen!" (for a split) "King!" (for quads) and randomly "MAKE IT THE 2 of SPADES!" from some crazy guy, the river was the
, meaning Liu took the pot and Wolters was busted in 13th spot...
12 remain as the heat rises and the final table approaches...

Beat me to it again Taz!
That was a great call from Michael Tureniec, the Swede has ridden his luck, but made some great moves today and he correctly identified Benyamine was on a flush draw there.
It's still a flip of course, but with the dead money in the pot, that was a nice call...
David Benyamine OUT in 12th place, leaving 11 left. They will be playing to a final table of EIGHT players tonight before coming back to duke it out on the final tomorrow...

Frode Gjesdal, who Henning Granstad tells us, is one of the original old school Norwegian players with Jan Sjavik (who is coincindentally playing in the DTD £300 in the Snoopy-based thread), raises to 44k and gets no callers taking the blinds.
Eric Liu gets a walk.
It's very cagey here on the feature table, when they're so close to the big money.
Raise to 42k from Eric 'Peachy_Keen' Liu, Frode Gjesdal ships it all in for 323k, Liu mucks and decides to wait for a better spot.

Antony
Lellouche
has doubled up raising preflop with
and Peter Busch reraising from the button, Lellouche bet a
flop, Peter Busch moved in with
and Lellouche quickly called.
The
turn made Busch's flush but made Lellouche a house at the same time so the
river didn't matter.
Busch was knocked out soon after with K-Q into A-9 and we have 10 players left.

And we are down to one table!
Not the final table as such as the final will begin once we are 8 handed but with just 9 competitors left nursing hopes of EPT glory, the players are going to be re-shuffled into a single table with one more elimination to bring the day to a halt...
This hand precipitated the re-draw...
Norwegian Frode Gjesdal made a big raise preflop, only to see fellow Scandinavian, Swede Michael Tureniec shipping it over the top of him. He had put in half his stack, so couldn't really fold and made the call with 6-6, Michael turning up
.
The flop was disastrous for Gjesdal, coming out
to give Michael overs and a flush draw...
Bad as the flop was, it just got worse for the Norwegian on the turn, the
spiking to give the jubilant Swede the nut flush and leave Gjesdal drawing thinner than Patrick Stewart's hair...
Click to see full-size image.
The Norwegian crashes out in 10th spot, and with the organisers rushing around to make everything rosy for the multitude of cameras that will be trained on the "October Nine", we are on a short, temporary break.
Back shortly!

Calling all poker fans. Don't waste your time reading the relentless witterings of these two monkeys. Come join The Nun and myself at
Dusk Till
Dawn
as we cover the much more high profile £300 Monthly Freezeout. This message will probably be removed shortly by the powers that be for 'dirty tactics', so make haste!

There's a little bit of caginess afflicting the players, who understandably don't want to miss out on the final table berths.
Such cautious play has not afflicted Johannes Strassman and Anthony Lellouche though, the two going to war preflop.
Strassman popped it up, only for Lellouche to put in a decent re-raise and pressurise the German player.
Whether Strassman didn't beleive the French players' raise, or had a blockbuster hand, we'll never know, but he shoved all-in for another 360k and Lellouche made a pretty quick pass...
Strassman has been a classic variance junky today going from 450k down to 90k up to his present stack of 600k or so.
The German's pedigree and increasing stack means he will be a big threat to win this tournament, especially if he shows the courage and abililty that has been his hallmark in their tournament so far...
