zedmaster84

Niveau 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Not long ago, Sam Higgs had tripled up with a short stack after he lost a big pot to Remi Castaignon. Since then, Higgs moved back to a big stack and now won an enormous pot to take revenge on Castaignon in a setup hand.

Higgs had raised from the cutoff and Castaignon called on the button to see the flop, on which Higgs bet 65,000 and Castaignon called. On the turn, Higgs check-raised from 230,000 to 500,000 and Castaignon came along to see the on the river.

Higgs now took some time before announcing a bet of 1,000,000 with some chips behind and Castaignon quickly called. The Aussie flipped over and Castaignon mucked for a flopped full house that fell behind on the turn.

Sam Higgs	3,700,000 1,700,000	1,700,000

Benny Glaser Shares What Makes EPT Monte Carlo a Favorite Poker Stop

[user341012]

Niveau 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Much better known for his non-Hold’em mixed game prowess, Benny Glaser has been showing lately that he’s also comfortable with his no-limit hold’em game. The U.K. poker pro recently finished second in the Unibet Irish Poker Open €2k high roller, an event he won in November, and also cashed 21st in the €1,150 Main Event there.

Here at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour, Glaser is playing more no-limit hold'em tournaments, today finishing 45th out of 1,425 entries in the €1,100 French National Championship. In his final hand, he got his remaining stack in with ace-king suited but couldn't find help versus James Romero's pocket jacks, settling for a modest cash of €3,950.

PokerNews talked with Glaser during a break of the tournament to get his thoughts on the event and the festival. Despite the rather high expenses required to stay in Monte Carlo, there's plenty that keeps Glaser coming back to this particular stop...

Kurdin's Stack Melts Away

zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the flop, Vasily Kurdin bet out of the big blind for 200,000 and Jacquelyn Scott moved all in. Kurdin studied Scott for some time, who was staring down towards the middle of the table with her hands near the face, trying not to give away anything. Eventually, the Russian tossed in a single chip for the call to create the following showdown:

Vasily Kurdin:
Jacquelyn Scott:

Except for a joker in the deck, no card could help Kurdin and the turn and river were a mere formality. Both stacks were very close and Scott had 1,625,000, Kurdin had 10,000 fewer chips and was eliminated in 28th place.
