Alt and Touil Tangle Twice; Ensan With Decent Stack

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Hossein Ensan entered the competition in the last level before the dinner break and has since tripled up his stack. "I made a big hero call with just ace-high for almost all of my chips and was good," the former EPT champion grinned. On his table, especially Samuel Touil and Dinesh Alt are getting involved in many hands and it was no surprise to see them tangle twice in quick succession.

On the river of a board {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}, Alt bet 7,400 out of the small blind and Touil raised to 22,300. The player on the button folded and so did Alt.

Soon after, Alt got some chips back. Touil bet the {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} turn for 3,000 and Alt just called. After the {9-Diamonds} river both players checked and Touil showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for two pair, Alt claimed the pot with {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush.

Maria Konnikova has re-entered recently and one table over, another Maria is sitting. The 2018 PCA champion Maria Lampropulos raised to 1,500 and picked up three callers including Paul-Francois Tedeschi, Hubert Matuszewski and the big blind. On the {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Matuszewski and a bet of 2,500 did the trick.
