L'avant dernière journée du Main Event PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour 2019 à 5300€ l'entrée a permis au 6 survivants d'un field de 922 entrants de s'assurer d'un gain de 152 800€. Samedi, ces rescapés joueront pour 827,700€ et un premier titre EPT.

L'Italien Nicola Grieco peut succéder à Antonio Buonnamo, dernier transalpin vainqueur sur ce circuit (en 2014). Il reprendra avec 7,1 millions de jetons après avoir montré sa qualité sur un 3-barrel bluff contre Manig Loeser et éliminé Conor Beresford pour s'approprier le chiplead.

Loeser et Ryan Riess sont les deux stars d'un tournoi disputé dans la Salle des Etoiles . L'Allemand a sorti le vainqueur EPT Nicolas Chouity et débutera en 4e position avec 4 millions de jetons. Le vainqueur du Main Event WSOP 2013 a monté 3,6 millions pour se glisser en finale, cinquième du classement provisoire il aura tout de même une soixantaine de blindes pour tenter de remporter lui aussi son premier EPT et compléter la Triple couronne.

Le Hongrois installé à Malte Viktor Katzenberger (6 millions) aura sa chance alors que l'amateur Wei Huang (5,6 millions) n'a plus rien à perdre. Dans le bas du classement à l'entame du Jour 4, Huang s'est même emparé brièvement du chiplead. Il a notamment éliminé une des 3 femmes qui se présentait à 30 left, l'Iranienne Melika Razavi, victime du supporter du Shanghai Shenhua F.C.

Dernier de la classe pour la finale, Luis Medina s'est faufilé avec 1 million de jetons, le Portugais aura tout de même 18 blindes pour lancer sa quête vers le trophée.

24 joueurs sont tombés au champs d'honneur vendredi. Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford (11e - €50,930), Sam Greenwood (12e - €45,570), Christoph Vogelsang (18e - €32,150), James Romero (21e - €27,680) et Mikalai Vaskaboinikau (22e - €27,680) ont raté l'ultime table du côté des joueurs internationaux. Les anciens champions EPT Nicolas Chouity (16e - €36,620) et Paul Michaelis (25e - €23,210) ont vu leur rêve de rejoindre Victoria Coren, la seule double vainqueur EPT, se briser lors du Jour 4. Ancien vainqueur EPT à Deauville, Remi Castaignon (26e - €23,210) n'a pas eu plus de succès non plus.

Deux Français étaient sur le ligne de départ vendredi et aucun ne sera présent en finale. Le Team Pro Winamax Aladin Reskallah s'est incliné en demi-finales après une partie solide qui s'est soldée sur une rencontre couleur contre couleur. Le double vainqueur de Top Shark s'est montré à son avantage avec plusieurs passages en Table TV.

En grande forme, le Canadien Timothy Adams est lui parvenu à atteindre l'ultime table. Solide, il a terminé son run par une 8e place (€78,030), éliminé par Katzenberger. C'est donc finalement Rustam Hajiyev (7e - €109,510) qui fait la bulle du Final Day tout en étant le premier à repartir avec un gain à 6 chiffres. De quoi adoucir ses regrets d'avoir chuté face à Loeser...

Le chrono a alors été stoppé avec 37 minutes à jouer sur le niveau 30,000/60,000 (60,000 big blind ante). La finale sera à suivre en direct sur PokerNews et en streaming avec un décalage de 30 minutes.

Rustam Hajiyev Eliminated in 7th Place (€109,510)

Niveau 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rustam Hajiyev
Rustam Hajiyev

Rustam Hajiyev jammed first to act and Manig Loeser in the cutoff asked "can I please get a count." Once it was deemed to be for 915,000, Loeser reshoved and all three players behind him sent their cards into the muck.

Rustam Hajiyev: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Manig Loeser: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Hajiyev's brother Ramin headed to the feature table to see the showdown and saw the flop of {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

"Deuce of hearts," Ramin demanded and the {2-Clubs} followed on the turn. The river was a blank with the {6-Spades} and that sent Hajiyev to the rail in 7th place for €109,510. This also includes Day 4 as six players remain for the big showdown the next day.

Medina Folds Pocket Eights, Hajiyev Shoves

Niveau 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Manig Loeser raised to 120,000 from the hijack with {k-Spades}{9-Spades}. Luis Medina had 1,260,000 left and, with Rustam Hajiyev shorter as well, decided to fold {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} in the cutoff. The other players folded as well to award Loeser the pot.

The next hand, Hajiyev shoved all in for 765,000 on the button with the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and won the blinds and antes.

Timothy Adams Eliminated in 8th Place (€78,030)

Timothy Adams

Timothy Adams raised it up to 140,000 first to act with the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Viktor Katzenberger called in the cutoff with the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The flop brought {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Adams checked over to Katzenberger, who made it 160,000.

Adams carefully checked his remaining stack of 1,690,000 and check-raised to 585,000. Katzenberger made the call and they headed to the {2-Hearts} turn. Adams let his shot clock run down to one second and opted for the check, prompting the usage of one time bank by Katzenberger.

"You have one million behind?" Katzenberger asked and moved all in for effectively 1.1 million. Adams quickly called and found himself drawing dead even before the {8-Diamonds} fell on the river.

Adams was eliminated in 8th place and takes home €78,030.

Grieco Shows the Bluff Against Loeser

Niveau 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nicola Grieco
Nicola Grieco

Nicola Grieco raised the button to 200,000 with {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Viktor Katzenberger called in the small blind with the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, as did Manig Loeser with {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} in the big blind. The flop brought {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and both blinds checked, Grieco bet 275,000 and Loeser was the only caller.

The {8-Clubs} turn gave Grieco a gutshot while Loeser picked up the nut flush draw on top of his pair. Loeser checked once more and Grieco fired a second barrel worth 500,000, the call of Loeser followed.

After the {j-Spades} river, Loeser checked and Grieco emptied the clip with a bet of 1,200,000.

"I think you might be bluffing," Loeser said and Grieco replied with a no.

"I think you might have ace-king," Loeser added and tried to get some reaction from Grieco. A time bank was tossed into the middle by Loeser, followed by another one. A third time bank was invested and Loeser ended up folding. The Italian showed the bluff and exhaled deeply in relief.

Shortly after, Grieco was back to his chatty self and couldn't help but needling Loeser with a "that's poker, my friend."

Massimo Mosele shoved all in for 1,100,000 from middle position. Behind him, Ryan Riess reshoved for 2,555,000 and all other players folded.

Massimo Mosele: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Ryan Riess: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Not for the first time today, the player with the pocket kings saw an ace land on the flop: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Mosele took a huge lead in the hand but Riess added additional outs with the {10-Spades} on the turn.

The river was the {q-Spades} and Riess completed his straight, setting the official final table with eight players. Mosele received €61,620 for his ninth-place finish.

Loeser Takes Two in a Row

Niveau 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

Luis Medina moved all in for 1,255,000 from the cutoff with the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} and scooped the blinds and big blind ante.

Manig Loeser opened the next hand with a raise to 120,000 with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Wei Huang called in the big blind with {9-Spades}{8-Spades}. On a {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Huang checked and Loeser bet 90,000 to win the pot.

Loeser raised to 120,000 with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Medina snap-folded {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} from one seat over. Huang let go of {a-Spades}{7-Spades} and Rustam Hajiyev called in the big blind with {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The flop brought {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Hajiyev checked, Loeser bet 100,000 and Hajiyev made the call.

Hajiyev checked the {2-Hearts} turn once more and Loeser bet 240,000 and that forced a fold from Hajiyev, who dropped below one million in chips.

Last to First: Wei Huang Playing with his Poker Idols in EPT Monte Carlo Main Event

Dead last of 30 players coming into Day 4 of the EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event to chip leading within three levels — it’s been a very lucky day for amateur poker player Wei Huang.

The 34-year-old amateur poker player from Shanghai, China is enjoying his very first trip to Europe, and picked a great time to run good.

While he stays busy with his job as a finance controller for PepsiCo, Huang loves poker and plays for fun when he can. Sitting with the big-time pros late in the Main Event in Monaco, Huang is a little starstruck, but not letting it interfere with his game. In the late levels of the day, he's been seated with the likes of Ryan Riess, Sam Greenwood and Manig Loeser at the featured live-streamed table.

“It’s amazing because when I look at them, they’re like my idols. I’m a big fan of most of these players.”
