Noah Broken

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Julian Thew
Julian Thew

Noah Boeken has been knocked out by Julian Thew, the latter three-bet and called a shove with {A-}{J-} against Boeken's {A-}{Q-} and was gifted by an {8-}{9-}{10-} flop with the {7-} turn being a cherry on top of a very nice 130,000 chip cake. Boeken bricked the river leaving Lex Veldhuis as the last remaining Dutch Team PokerStars Pro.

Frankland Doubles a Shawty

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Mat Frankland had a three-bet of 10,800 sitting in front of him when we arrived at his table, and Leo McClean moved all in for 19,600 from the blinds. The action folded back to Frankland, who was pot-committed and called.

Frankland: {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
McClean: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

McClean's hand held up as the board came {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, and he doubled.

Altergott Back in it

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Max Altergott
Max Altergott

We walked up to the table when Max Altergott had 13,200 out in front of him. The action was on the German who was faced with a 25,600 raise from Jens Kaiser who was seated in the hijack.

"All in," Altergott announced shortly after that and Kaiser called.

Altergott: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Kaiser: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller winner took down the pot. Kaiser was left behind with little chips and knocked out not too long after this.

"The Train has Been Stopped"

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Andy Moseley has been cruising here on Day 2, and the TV crew saw fit to move his table to the secondary set. It was there that he took a little hit to his stack.

It happened when he opened for 4,000 and received a call from the player in the cutoff. Ireland's Jason Tompkins then three-bet all in for 42,100, Moseley four-bet to 79,000, and the cutoff folded.

Moseley: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Tompkins: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

It was a flip, and Moseley looked as if he was going to add to his stack through both the {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and {10-Hearts} turn. All he needed to do was dodge an ace and queen on the river, but that proved easier said than done as the {Q-Hearts} spiked. Tompkins' expression did not change as he shipped the double.

"The train has been stopped," Mosely quipped about his momentum here on Day 2.

Quoss Climbing

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Fabian Quoss
Fabian Quoss

Fabian Quoss and Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho both checked on a board of {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. The {q-Spades} completed the board, and the German led out for 13,000 into a pot of around 20,000.

Pinho tanked for a bit, then tossed in a call. Quoss showed {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for queens and jacks, Pinho mucked, and the German raked in the pot.

Quoss has ascended up the chip counts this past level, and now has around 170,000 chips.

Laudam Takes Down Massive Pot Without Showdown

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The action started with Robin Ylitalo who raised to 4,200 after which Nelson Vaz Da Silva three-bet to 12,100. The action was folded to Patric Laudam who four-bet to 27,000 from the big blind and Ylitalo folded right away.

Vaz Da Silva tanked for a while but eventually he made the call creating a serious pot as the flop wasn't even on the table yet.

The flop brought {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Laudam fired out 18,400 which was quickly called by Vaz Da Silva.

On the turn the {Q-Spades} hit and Laudam grabbed chips again. The German player bet 36,000 this time and was instantly raised to 100,000 by Vaz Da Silva. This big raise instigated a long tanking session by Laudam who ultimately moved all in for 135,800 total.

Vaz Da Silva had to call just 35,800 and a lot of players were left in amazement when the Portuguese player quickly folded. Laudam is now one of the chip leaders while Vaz Da Silva was left behind with a small stack.
