Feenstra Goes Boom

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Rens Feenstra waited patiently for a hand, and as a result his stack dwindled to approximately 120,000 before the big blind hit him.

It was at that point Tom Middleton opened for 120,000 under the gun, Andreas Christoforou called from the small blind and Feenstra called off from the big. We're not 100% positive, but it appeared he did so without looking at his cards.

When the flop fell {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Christoforou check-called a bet of 125,000 and then both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn. When the {3-Spades} completed the board on the river, Christoforou led out for 125,000 and Middleton called. Christoforou tabled the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a wheel, and he chopped the side pot with Middleton, who had the same hand with the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

"Boom," Feenstra then announced before flipping over the {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and the triple.

Sormunen In Gambling Mood

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Benoit Gury moved all in from the small blind for 940,000 and having already put chips in the pot, the big stack Pasi Sormunen announced that he was in the mood to gamble and made the call with {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. He picked the wrong time as Gury had {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. The flop ran out {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Gury doubled up.

Middleton Gets Huge Double Up

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Tom Middleton
Tom Middleton

Rens Feenstra opened from the button and got a call from Andreas Christoforou in the small blind. Tom Middleton in the big blind was waiting with a raise and made it 375,000. Christoforou thought for a good while and gave him the stare down, but folded. Feenstra doesn’t give up that easily and made the call. They saw a flop of {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Feenstra check called a bet of 400,000 from Middleton and they saw a turn card of {2-Diamonds}. Again Feenstra checked and Middleton moved all in. Feenstra didn’t seem to like it but made the call turning over {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top pair and a flush draw. Middleton had {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. The last card fell {3-Hearts}. Middleton moved on to 5,500,000 and Feenstra was crippled on 255,000, just four big blinds.

Slow Going

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Now that players are back to full eight-handed tables things have slowed down a bit here in the EPT Barcelona Main Event. We expect action will pick up sooner than later.
