EPT Prague : Paul Michaelis chipleader, tonkaaaa en finale du Main Event

Niveau 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Paul Michaelis (L) and Parker Talbot
Paul Michaelis (L) and Parker Talbot

L'an passé Paul Michaelis était en tête du PokerStars Championship Prague après deux jours de compétition. L'Allemand avait finalement quitté la compétition en 28e position (18.900€).

Alors que la compétition a repris son nom originel, Michaelis est en tête du Main Event PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague à 6 left. Les survivants du tournoi à 5300€ l'entrée qui a rassemblé 1174 entrants ont les yeux rivés sur le premier prix d'un million d'euros et le Platinum Pass d'une valeur de 30.000$ pour les Bahamas.

Avec 10,060,000 jetons et 84 blindes, il devance le spécialiste de Twitch Parker Talbot (31bb), calé dans le peloton derrière un duo ukraino-russe. En queue de peloton, Carlos Branco n'a pas dit son dernier mot avec 26 blindes sur des niveaux de 90 minutes.

Le Jour 5 avait débuté avec 16 joueurs. Konstantin Farber et Fionn MacNamara n'ont pas survécu bien longtemps alors qu'Ugo Faggioli s'est fait prendre en bluff par Michaelis avant que l'Allemand n'élimine le dernier Français en lice sur un flip pour 40 blindes.

Michaelis aurait pu prendre une large avance mais il a perdu une confrontation {7-}{7-} contre {5-}{5-} chez Alexandr Merzhvinskii préflop. Dernier vainqueur EPT en course, Andrey Pateychuk a fait le short-stack ninja avant de se heruter au brelan de ce même Merzhvinskii avec deux paires (9e).

Diego Zeiter s'est lui empalé sur les flèches d'Artem Kobylynskyi avant que Merzhvinskii ne termine le travail.

Malgré un bon début de Jour 5, Liviu Ignat n'a pas pu s'xprimer sur la dernière table et s'incline finalement avec {a-}{q-} contre {k-}{k-} chez Laurynas Levinskas'.

Assurés d'un gain de 179,360€, les six derniers survivants ont alors emballé leurs jetons. La partie reprendra mardi à midi sur avec 15 minutes à jouer dans le niveau (60 000 - 120 000) [120 000]. PokerNews sera au contact de l'action pour vous faire vivre la dernière ligne droite.

Liviu Ignat Eliminated in 7th Place (€136,720)

Niveau 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Liviu Ignat
Liviu Ignat

Laurynas Levinskas raised to 250,000 from mid-position and Liviu Ignat shoved from the cutoff. Action folded back to Levinskas who snap-called.

Liviu Ignat: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Laurynas Levinskas: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to keep Levinskas ahead and give Ignat a straight draw.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Ignat had one more chance to hit a king or ace to stay alive but the river completed the board with the {8-Spades} and that meant Ignat was eliminated as the dealer counted out both stacks and Levinskas had around 100,000 more in the end.

Ignat made his way to the payout desk to collect his cash for €136,720 and with 15:49 minutes left in this level, the clock was stopped. The six remaining players have now bagged for the final day on Tuesday, December 18.

The chip counts and a recap of today's action is to follow.

Diego Zeiter

On the first hand dealt, Diego Zeiter moved in for 1,305,000 from middle position and Alexandr Merzhvinskii called the shove after looking down at his {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} in the big blind. He wished Zeiter luck, and the Argentinian turned over {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The {2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts} gave Zeiter a few more outs but the {10-Diamonds} river didn't do it.

Niveau 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Andrey Pateychuk
Andrey Pateychuk

Andrey Pateychuk defended big blind against a middle-position raise by Alexandr Merzhvinskii. The flop was {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Pateychuk checked. Merzhvinskii bet 175,000 and Pateychuk raised to 600,000. Merzhvinskii called and the turn was a {9-Hearts}. Pateychuk jammed for about 2.9 million and Merzhvinskii snap-called.

Andrey Pateychuk: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Alexandr Merzhvinskii: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Pateychuk needed a queen or a nine and he didn't get one as the {3-Spades} hit.

Alexandr Merzhvinskii
Alexandr Merzhvinskii

Paul Michaelis raised to 210,000 on the button and faced a shove worth 2.39 million from Alexandr Merzhvinskii. He leaned back in thought, said something to his opponent, then slammed in some chips to call.

Alexandr Merzhvinskii: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Paul Michaelis: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Michaelis was a favorite to increase his lead even further but the {5-Hearts} in the window indicated things would likely go otherwise. The rest of the board was {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Merzhvinskii doubled up.

Evangelos Bechrakis

Liviu Ignat raised to 160,000 and action folded to Evangelos Bechrakis with his micro stack in the big blind.

"I don't think I need to look at my cards," he mused.

He stuck his chips in and tabled {j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, happy to see he was live against {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} only brought some backdoor possibility and the sweat ended with an {a-Diamonds} turn. Bechrakis knuckled the table and shook hands with his opponents.

Serhii Holodiuk

Paul Michaelis limped in on the button, Artem Kobylynskyi completed his small blind and Serhii Holodiuk opted to check his big blind.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Spades}, both Kobylynskyi and Holodiuk checked. Michaelis bet 80,000, Kobylynskyi called, and Holodiuk contemplated for a bit. After a bit, Holodiuk shoved for 850,000 in total and only Kobylynskyi snap-called.

Serhii Holodiuk: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Artem Kobylynskyi: {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Holodiuk had flopped top pair but Kobylynskyi held the straight.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} for Holodiuk to improve to trips, he just needed the board to pair to stay alive but the river completed the board with the {9-Hearts} for Holodiuk to be eliminated just after the break.

Fionn MacNamara

Alexandr Merzhvinskii opened under the gun for 120,000 and action folded to the small blind, where Fionn MacNamara made it 370,000 to go. Merzhvinskii continued and they saw an {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. MacNamara bet 275,000 and Merzhvinskii called to see the {10-Diamonds} turn. That got checked through to a {10-Clubs} river. MacNamara needed a time bank to figure out his next move, and just as time was about to expire, he announced all in. Merzhvinskii quickly dropped in a chip to call.

MacNamara opened {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} but Merzhvinskii had gotten there with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a flush.

Ivan Zhechev shoved from the button for 405,000 in total and was called by Carlos Branco in the big blind.

Ivan Zhechev: {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Carlos Branco: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Zhechev got up from his seat while the dealer dealt {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades} on the flop for Zhechev to hit a pair of sevens.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds} to now deal Branco the higher pair.

Zhechev needed another seven or queen to stay alive but he bricked the river as the {3-Clubs} came to send him to the rail in 14th place for €50,610.
