Geilich, Berende and Soika Face Off

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

Ludovic Geilich opened the action from under the gun and got calls from small blind Paul Berende and Ihar Soika. The three of them had been talking about tangling in online games and now here was a chance to sort it out face to face over the felt.

The flop of {k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} was checked around and the saw the turn card fall the {5-Spades}. Berende had a stab for 2,500 but neither of the other players were deterred and put out the calling chips.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} which saw Berende check and Soika go for a bet of 6,200. Geilich instantly called and Berende’s cards hit the muck.

Soika showed {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} which was beaten by the flush {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} of Geilich. As Geilich stacked the chips Berende gave Soika a, “I had you beat.”

Geilich counted his stack and announced to the table, “I’ve got above starting stack for the first time today. I feel like the chip leader.”

Sammartino Doubles Through Haglund

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

We arrived to find Oolf Haglund and Dario Sammartino looking down at a completed board of {4-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Haglund checked over to the Italian who moved all in for his last 9,650. Haglund thought for a moment before flinging out calling chips.

Sammartino rolled over {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for a turned set of kings. This was enough to elicit a muck from Haglun and Sammartino lived to fight another day. After scooping the pot he has about 32,000. Haglund, on the other hand, has been reduced to 17,000.

Abdellatif Hands Over his Chips to the Dutch

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jonathan Abdellatif's chair was vacant and it turned out the Dutch players at the table were to blame.

Ruben Visser told us that Luuk Gieles, who sat down with a fresh 30,000 in chips after the dinner break, opened for 1,250. One player called and Jonathan Abdellatif in the big blind called as well. Abdellatif checked to Gieles on {9-}{6-}{4-} with two diamonds and the young Dutch player bet 1,800. The first player folded, Abdellatif made the call.

Abdellatif check called another 4,200 on the off suit {6-}-turn and check called 16,500 on the {8-}-river. Gieles showed {4-}{4-} for a flopped set and turned full house and Abdellatif mucked.

Abdellatif was left with 5,000 which he would lose the next hand. The button opened, Abdellatif shoved from the small blind, and big blind Ruben Visser reshoved from the big blind. The button folded and Visser tabled {A-}{10-} to Abdellatif's {K-}{Q-} suited. The flop was good for Abdellatif with {Q-}{7-}{4-}, but the {J-}-turn in combination with the {K-} on the river spelled doom for the Belgian.

On our way back to the media room to report on these hands, we also saw Pierre Neuville walking to the elevator. We expect he wouldn't be so calm if he had chips left, so we assume he's been eliminated.

Nedved Out; Mozaffarian Stacked

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

On the table of Valdemar Kwaysser and Amir Mozaffarian, seat one is occupied by another player as Johnny Nedved. The Belgian apparently donk-bet a six-high flop with two spades for 5,000 and called all in for 22,000 total with {J-Spades} {9-Spades} for the flush draw when Kwaysser put him all in. The queens of the Hungarian held up.

Mozaffarian was up to six digits already but then lost the all in against a short stack with {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} versus {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} for around 8,000 in chips.

"It is not Christmas Every Day"

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Fabrice Somers opened to 1,200 and got called by one opponent before fellow Belgian Bart Moens raised to 4,000. Somers grabbed some bigger chip denominations to put his opponents all in and then let out a quick "oh damn" when Moens snap-called for his last 18,525.

Somers had the {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} and faced {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} with the board running out {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. He joked in French which translated to "It is not Christmas every day".

ElkY Cracks 100k

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier

Three players including Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Stephan Fajg were looking down at a board of {3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Grospellier had first action and he fired out a bet of 6,600 into a pot of roughly 12,000 total. The next player to act folded while Faig stuck around to see the river.

The dealer completed the board with the {a-Diamonds} and Grospellier once again grabbed a handful of chips. This time he moved 9,200 past the betting line and he once again found a quick call from Faig. Faig instantly mucked his hand, however, after seeing Grospellier's {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for two pair.

Grospellier grabbed the pot and now has a six-figure chip stack with 115,500 to his name.
