frankvisser

Niveau 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Peter Tordai kicked off the action with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun. David Vinayagamoorthy then shipped in his stack of 22,600 from middle position and Alexander Norden called cold from the button.

Tordai counted his chips before piling his own stack of 52,500 in the middle. Norden thought about it for a bit, but decided he could not fold and stuck in the call.

David Vinayagamoorthy: 8♦8♣
Peter Tordai: A♠A♥
Alexander Norden: A♣Q♠

Norden flopped a queen on Q♣5♠6♠, and Vinayagamoorthy turned some extra outs on the 4♦ turn. However, the 2♥ river saw neither player improve further, meaning that the gigantic pot was shipped Tordai's way.

Vinayagamoorthy busted his second bullet of the tournament, while Norden was left with just four big blinds.

Gomez Gets There to Eliminate Duarte

Tboss

Niveau 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three players brewed a pot of about 30,000 before the Q♦8♣5♦ flop, and Philip Skarstedt led for 7,000 before Nuno Duarte jammed his remaining stack of about 14,000. Alvaro Gomez shoved all in as well, forcing Skarstedt to muck his hand and both hands were tabled.

Nuno Duarte: J♥J♠
Alvaro Gomez: A♦J♦

Duarte was currently in the lead with his pocket jacks and the 4♣ turn didn't connect with Gomez's flush draw but the 8♦ landed on the river.

Unlucky Run Out Sends Vinayagamoorthy Out

Tboss

Niveau 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Iliodoros Kamatakis opened in the hijack and Karl Skolin called on the button before David Vinayagamoorthy three-bet to 5,100 in the small blind. Kamatakis put in a four-bet to 16,500, forcing Skolin to fold and Vinayagamoorthy jammed for about 21,400 total and Kamatakis called.

David Vinayagamoorthy: A♥A♦
Iliodoros Kamatakis: K♠10♣

The K♣8♦3♥ flop paired Kamatakis, but he was still behind the aces of Vinayagamoorthy. The 2♠ turn changed nothing but the K♦ river sent Vinayagamoorthy walking away from the table.

Kassouf Triples Up in the Lobby

frankvisser

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The €3,000 Mystery Bounty is always a popular tournament, and once again enough entries have been made that the overflow tables were filled up in the Hilton lobby.

On one of those tables, Alexandre Landron raised to 1,000 from the hijack and got called by William Kassouf in the cutoff. Agostino Scozzari then made it 3,800 to go from the button and both players came along.

On the 7♦Q♠3♠ flop, the action was checked to Scozzari, who made a bet of 8,000. Landron called before Kassouf shoved all in for 26,600. Scozzari said he put Kassouf on a set, but made the call anyway, and Landron stuck in his stack of 24,800 as well.

Alexandre Landron: A♠Q♥
William Kassouf: 3♥3♣
Agostino Scozzari: K♥K♦

Kassouf indeed had a set, and it held as no king appeared on the turn or river.

Landron exited while Kassouf stacked up his three starting stacks.

Mifsud Doubles, Still Leaves

frankvisser

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Kemal Aslan and Brandon Mifsud got all of their chips in the middle at some point in the hand. A board of A♠7♠3♣J♥ laid on the table and Aslan's A♥Q♠ was also visible.

However, Mifsud had stormed off from the table. All players at the table corroborated that his J♠J♥ lay in the muck after Mifsud had done so himself, meaning that Aslan would be drawing dead. The floor was quickly called over and ran to get the missing player.

Mifsud was brought back to the table, but stated "I don't know why everyone keeps bringing me back here like I've killed someone."

After the floor retrieved his cards from the muck and repeatedly explained to Mifsud that he was a lock to win the hand, he acknowledged the fact, but still opted to go towards the exit. The table was left bewildered while the 2♥ completed the board.

The pot was shipped to Mifsud's seat, while Aslan was left with 13,000, which he would lose not much later.

Mifsud has not been seen since, and his stack will be continuously blinded down until he returns, if he chooses to do so.
