Danchev Dismissed

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dimitar Danchev
Dimitar Danchev

Former PCA Champion Dimitar Danchev is out, he was all in with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} against Andrey Shatilov's {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The {5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop was good for the Bulgarian but the {J-Hearts} turn gave Shatilov a flush draw and a straight draw. The Russian hit Broadway on the {10-Clubs} river, Danchev immediately shook hands with his assassin and quickly left the table.

Dias In Distress

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Bernardo Da Silveira Dias looked pretty with how the hand was going until on the river Mauro Mancin shoved on him for 158,000. There followed near five minutes of agonising from Dias, the emotions writ all over his face as he went through seemingly every possible combination of hands his opponent could have. He emitted a, ”Wow.” muttering under his breath alternately trying to convince himself that he had the best hand or that he had somehow run into a better one.

It was a pot sized river shove from Mancin and Dias had 290,000 behind. Eventually he decided he didn’t want to commit the chips and said, “Fold.” with a sigh.

Not content with the pot Mancin showed the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Dias put his head in his hands distraught. Seeing the distress he was in another player asked him, “Did you have a king?” Dias did not respond.

Timex Doubles Up and Then Some

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Mike McDonald was all in and in trouble with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} against Hossein Ensan's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop teased McDonald with a gutshot but the {J-Diamonds} was without doubt the most entertaining card in the deck. It made McDonald the nut straight but gave Ensan a flush draw and a gutshot to a bigger straight. The river was the {3-Hearts} and McDonald doubled up.

Barely a couple of hands later and the two got into another raising war, McDonald five-betting all in and Ensan snap-folding as a result.

Heitmann Picks Off Lamarca's Bluff

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

With the total board of {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} already out on the table, Heitmann was forcing a raise. The German Team Pro had bet out 35,000 from the big blind, and Jose Lamarca had raised to 85,000 from the button.

Heitmann took his time, but made the call eventually. Lamarca tapped the table, indicating that he was caught bluffing, and showed {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Heitmann showed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and took it down.

Doing the Double, Going for Triple

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Last year, David Benefield and Ole Schemion final tabled the €50,000 Super High Roller, cashed the €5,300 Main Event, and final tabled the €10,300 High Roller at European Poker Tour Barcelona.

This year, Dan Shak has completed two of the same three legs after placing eighth in the Super High Roller and 129th in the Main Event, and so has Scott Seiver. While Shak may have busted, Seiver is still alive in the Main Event following a fourth-place finish in the Super High Roller.

Ryan Fee also cashed the Super High Roller and is alive in the Main Event, but he didn't final table the Super High Roller — he placed 11th.

With the High Roller still to come tomorrow, Seiver and Shak could pull the same triple that Benefield and Schemion did last year, but Seiver won't be ditching his Main Event efforts just to chase that accomplishment. Instead, he'll be gunning for the €1,261,000 top prize in the Main Event.

Neumann Gives Up

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Marko Neumann bet 18,000 from the big blind on an {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, and Kiryl Radzivonau made the call from early position. Radzivonau called the 36,000 bet that Neumann slid forward on the {8-Spades} as well.

The river came the {9-Spades}, double pairing the board, and Neumann checked. Radzivonau put a bet of 70,000 out there, and Neumann didn't waste much time before folding.

Sylvain Loosli Eliminated

Sylvain Loosli

"All in and call!" shouted the dealer on table one. Before we had the chance to maneuver our ways over there, 2013 November Niner Sylvain Loosli was already up from the table and getting escorted out.

One of his former table mates told us that Pedro Marques had opened with queens, and Sylvain Loosli had shoved his remaining 24 big blinds with pocket nines. Marques had made the call, and his hand had held up.
