2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final
We missed the elimination of Yevgeniy Timoshenko, but Noah Schwartz was kind enough to fill us in on what happened.
According to him a player had opened for 12,000 and Timoshenko called. When the flop came down , Timoshenko checked and his opponent bet 12,000. Timoshenko moved all in for 72,000 and a call was made.
Timoshenko:
Opponent:
Neither player held much other than gutshot straight draws, so when a blanked on the turn followed by a on the river, the king high won and Timoshenko was sent to the rail.

Pablo Fernandez got his stack all in preflop and was looking good against Philipp Gruissem.

Gruissem:

Fernandez bows out in 34th place.

The river cards fell the and again Kaverman checked; a pause from Gruissem who then moved all in for 147,000. If Kaverman called he would still be in but crippled while Gruissem had put his tournament life on the line.
Almost five minutes ticked by before Kaverman folded with a look of pain on his face.
“Show the bluff.” said John Juanda returning to the table. Gruissem showed one card, the .

Poker author and coach Tommy Angelo has returned with a new installment of his popular "Tilt for Beginners" series at Learn.PokerNews. Today's entry finds Tommy engaged in conversation with two characters who appear in his forthcoming book, Painless Poker. Here's how the story begins:
“What, precisely, is a bad beat?” said Alfonzo Calibri.
“A bad beat is when you lose a hand during which at some point you had a high statistical probability of winning the hand,” said Charlie Archer.
“I don’t think a bad beat is defined by odds,” I said, “but rather, by pain.”
Click here for the rest of the story and to learn how when it comes to bad beats "we can look back on the strategy, but without the tragedy."
