"On joue le triple A-Game on peut le faire les gars je répète on peut le faire !!!!!!!!!!!!"
C'est par ce message qu'Ivan Deyra a fait savoir à ses suiveurs qu'il était encore en lice pour le Jour 3 du High Roller 25 750€ du PokerStars & Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Saison 12. Un tournoi qui a cumulé 231 entrées (175joueurs - 56 reentries) !
Qualifié sur un satellite à 3000€, Ivan Deyra continue donc son histoire d'amour avec l'European Poker Tour. Value_Merguez a en effet disputé trois tournois principaux de ce circuit pour trois places payées. Toujours présent à 12 left d'un événement à 25 750€ l'entrée avec plus de jetons que la moyenne, le jeune homme peut rêver du premier prix de 1 197 000€ ! 9e de l'EPT Prague Saison 12 pour sa première apparition au haut niveau, il devra néanmoins se défaire d'adversaires de la trempe d'Anthony Zinno, Zvi Stern ou encore Max Silver.
Runner-up du tournoi derrière Charlie Carrel l'an passé pour 750 000€, Imad Derwiche est lui aussi toujours en embuscade. Les deux tricolores ont prolongé la fête des Bleus sur le Jour 5 du Main Event à 5300€ l'entrée. Ils auront un gros coup à jouer car le field emmené par l'Israélien finaliste du Main Event WSOP fait moins peur que d'habitude sur des événements de cette envergure.
Reprise du jeu sur les blindes 12000-24000 (3000) vendredi à 12 heures 30 dans la Salle des Etoiles, la partie sera à suivre sur le coverage de PokerNews !

Ivan Deyra et Imad Derwich font en effet partie des 31 joueurs dans l'argent. Ils sont assurés de toucher 92 250€ après l'arrêt du jeu suite à la sortie de l'Américain Byron Kaverman en 13e position.
C'est le pro libanais Ami Barer qui a finalement terminé à la plus mauvaise place, éliminé par l'allemand Julian Stuer. Quelques minutes avant, Imad Derwiche s'était chargé de sortir Martin Jacobson, le busto le plus notable à l'approche de la bulle. Du côté français, Alexandre Reard a sauté une dizaine de place avant l'argent avec contre alors que Sylvain Loosli et Jean-Noel Thorel avaient déjà rejoint le rail.
Une fois les places payées atteintes, Steve O'Dwyer a ensuite rapidement quitté le jeu, il signe un nouvel ITM tout comme Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Dan Smith,l'ancien régulier de l'ACF Alain Goldberg (21e), le chipleader à l'entame de la journée Niall Farrell, Stefan Schillhabel ou encore Daniel Negreanu, 15e et donc parmi les derniers éliminés du jour.

[Removed:2] made it 45,000, then called it off when Byron Kaverman shoved for 240,000.
Kaverman's tournament life was riding on the against Maksoud's . The flop gave Maksoud a pair, the turn gave him a flush draw to go with it, and the river completed it to rail Kaverman 13th.
The hand started with a limp by Alexandru Papazian and Daniel Negreanu then made it 46,000 to go from the button. Zvi Stern called and Papazian also filled up. On the flop, Stern and Papazian both checked and Negreanu bet 65,000. Stern flat-called before Papazian check-raised to 190,000.
Negreanu shoved for 391,000 and Stern folded whereas Papazian quickly called.
Negreanu:
Papazian:
"You want this," the PokerStars Team Pro said and grabbed his ace of diamonds. Sure enough the dealer burned and turned the to give Papazian a flush, but Negreanu still had outs with any diamond except for the six. A blank river sent Negreanu to the rail in 15th place and the tournament loses one of the biggest names on the last two tables.
Down to around 200,000 chips, Niall Farrell shoved and found someone willing to look him up from one seat over in Anthony Zinno. Everyone else got out of the way and the EPT12 Malta champion from Glasgow was at risk of elimination.
Farrell:
Zinno:
The board came and that sent Farrell to the rail in 20th place.
Steve O'Dwyer moved all in for 85,000 from early position and Julian Stuer flat-called from one seat over, the rest of the table folded.
O'Dwyer held and was trailing the of Stuer, who immediately paired his ace on the flop. Neither the turn nor river changed the outcome of the hand and O'Dwyer exited in 31st place, adding more points for the Player of the Year ranking.
From the cutoff, Ami Barer moved all in for 84,000 chips and the action folded around to Julian Stuer in the big blind. The German called and once all other tables were finished, the showdown proceeded.
Barer:
Stuer:
Neither the flop nor the turn changed anything, but the river let the bubble burst and Barer had to leave empty-handed.
Mikita Badziakouski opened to 10,000 from early position and Yang Wang clicked it up to 24,500 from the big blind before calling a four-bet to 60,000 by Badziakouski. Both checked the flop before Wang check-called a bet worth 60,000 on the turn.
The river completed the board and Wang checked, Badziakouski shoved and Wang called with . Badziakouski had that beat with and his opponent covered to rake in the monster pot, skyrocketing into the lead.
The action started with a raise to 4,800 by Zvi Stern and the November Niner found three callers in Keith Johnson, David Dayan and Quan Zhou. In the small blind, Marko Neumann moved all in for 34,700 and Stern flat-called only to see Johnson then move in as well for around 65,000. Stern called and put the two short stacks at risk once Dayan and Zhou had folded.
Neumann:
Johnson:
Stern:
"Oh, that's slightly difficult, diamonds please," Neumann said. Instead, the flop came and Johnson stood up from his chair ready to leave. Neither the turn nor the river changed anything and Stern soared up to more than half a million.
