Dato Takes From Amri; Stewart Collects the Rest
While EPT Cyprus Main Event winner Gilles Simon was eliminated earlier, the runner-up from that tournament, Andrea Dato, is still in contention. He opened to 6,000 from under the gun and saw Naim Amri defend his big blind.
Amri check-called for 3,500 on the A♣2♠2♦ flop before the 7♦ turn checked through to the 4♠ river. Amri led out for 5,000 and then Dato made it 16,000. Amri thought briefly and called, leaving himself 11,500. Dato tabled A♠Q♥ and Amri mucked his hand.
On the next deal, Joshua Stewart limped in from the cutoff and called when Amri moved all in.
Naim Amri: 9♦8♦
Joshua Stewart: A♥6♥
Stewart paired up on the A♣K♣2♥ flop to become an even bigger favorite. The 9♠ turn gave Amri some hope but the 5♠ river confirmed his exit instead.
