12:45pm: Big river action sees Dvoress double
Level 21 – Blinds 10,00/20,000 (BB ante 20,000)
Watch out, watch out, Daniel Dvoress is about. The diminutive Canadian has a big stack worth about 1.3 million now after picking off a big river bluff from Michael Addamo.
The board read J♦ 6♥ 3♠ A♥ K♣ and Dvoress led for 165,000 from the big blind before Addamo set him all-in. Dvoress used a time bank, figured it out, and called all-in for 534,000 with A♦ 4♣ . Addamo dropped to 545,000 after he opened Q♣ 3♣ . –MC
12:39pm: Carrel crumbled
Level 21 – Blinds 10,000/20,000 (BB ante 20,000)
Nine minutes of play into the day and we’ve lost another player.
Charlie Carrel jammed for 196,000 with 7♠ 7♦ , only for Tomas Paiva to wake up with K♣ K♦ and shove himself with the bigger stack.
The kings held after the 2♦ 4♣ 4♠ 9♥ Q♦ board, and Carrel was out. Paiva is on 425,000 now.
“GG guys,” he said as he went to the payout desk. With 16 left, it’s time for a redraw. –JS
12:35pm: Demircan downed
Level 21 – Blinds 10,00/20,000 (BB ante 20,000)
Serdar Demircan was the first player to bust today after some unfortunate timing.
He moved all-in for 370,000 from the hijack and was snapped off by Michael Addamo in the big blind.
Addamo: A♥ K♦
Dermircan: A♣ 5♠
The board ran Q♠ 3♥ A♠ 3♣ J♣ and Addmano moved up to around 1.2 million. –MC
12:30pm: Cards in then air
Level 21 – Blinds 10,000/20,000 (BB ante 20,000)
They’re off and running. Stick with us all day as we play down to a champion. –JS
12pm: 18 to 1 and half a million Euros
Level 21 – Blinds 10,000/20,000 (BB ante 20,000)
It’s a pretty simple play for today. We have 18 players remaining and we need to give one of them a big, shiny, new trophy and just over half a million Euros. As you can see from the table below, Jasper Meijer Van Putten – Main Event Champion from two years ago – has the chip lead and will quite fancy balancing up his mantlepiece with another EPT Prague trophy. His has a ton of poker talent chasing him though and all are freed up by the fact that they’re already in the money and guaranteed €27,130.
It promises to be a great way to see off the festival and the year. Cards will be in the air at 12:30pm so join us back here shortly. –MC
