Guerrero Scores Double Knockout

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The board read {Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} when we found Jimmy Guerrero, Jonathan Sitbon, and Kuljinder Sidhu all engaged in the hand. With a sizable pot already built, Guerrero was first to act and fired out a bet of 4,500. Sitbon flatted the bet, putting action on Sidhu. Sidhu raised all in over the top for 18,975. Guerrero went into the tank for quite some time before announcing a call. Sitbon called as well, leaving himself with right around 4,000 heading to the river.

Guerrero moved all in dark and after the {J-Diamonds} hit the felt, Sitbon quickly called for his own tournament life.

Sidhu: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Sitbon: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Guerrero: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Sidhu's top pair of queens was ruled no good once Sitbon tabled his rivered nut flush. Unfortunately for Sitbon, completing his flush draw was still not enough to win the hand as Guerrero hit a winning full house on the turn. Guerrero scored the double knockout and now has a stack of about 72,000 heading into the second break.

Big Blind Special for Somers

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Sylvain Mousnier raised to 1,050 from under the gun and was called by Roberto Gomez Ruiz on the button and PokerStars qualifier Fabrice Somers in the big blind. The Belgian check-called a continuation bet of 1,650 by Mousnier and Gomez Ruiz also stuck around on a flop of {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades}. Everybody then checked the {4-Spades} on the turn and the {A-Hearts} river triggered a bet of Somers.

The Belgian made it 7,300 and was called by Mousnier with {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Gomez Ruiz with {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}. Somers started cheering and then smashed his {5-Spades} {2-Spades} on the table - straight flush!

He Took All My Chips

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Defending EPT Deauville champion Sotirios Koutoupas is down to less than starting stack after losing the vast majority of chips to Pavel Gonchakov. Another big stack on the table is David Jaoui, who called the preflop raise of the Greek to see a flop of {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. Both players checked and the {7-Clubs} turn saw a raise of Koutoupas from 1,700 to 4,400, eventually enforcing a fold from Jaoui.

Glancing over to the Greek he joked back, pointing at Gonchakov: "he took all my chips".

Miss Read for Khoroshenin

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Oleksii Khoroshenin
Oleksii Khoroshenin

Tobias Peters was kind enough to fill us in on the details of a rather big hand which was going on over at table 37.

According to Peters, a player in early position opened to 550 and his neighbor called. Aleksii Khoroshenin over called from the cut off and now Sören Ingwart Vöhrs in the big blind squeezed to 2,500. All players called to grow a sizable pot.

The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Vöhrs bet out 5,500 to follow up on his pre flop aggression. Just Khoroshenin in position made the call.

The turn came the {2-Hearts} and Vöhrs checked to Khoroshenin. The EPT Vienna champ slid out a bet, though we're not entirely sure how much it was. Vöhrs check raised all in (for what appeared over 30,000) and Khoroshenin needed a bit of time to make up his mind. Eventually he made the call, only to find out he needed quite some help to eliminate his German foe as Vöhrs showed the goods with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Khoroshenin had kind of gotten out of line with his {9-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

The {2-Spades} on the river was a card as meaningless as they could come, and Khoroshenin was beaten down to about 10 big blinds.

Vogelhuber Does As He Pleases

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Bernd Vogelhuber, a qualifier from Germany, seems to be bemusing his table mates. Every time we pass by the table he seems to be in a hand and putting players to a decision.

A while earlier Artem Litvinov told him, “Don’t bluff.”

“What is bluff?” Vogelhuber responded, to which Litvinov, who would never resort to such tactics, informed him, “Betting when you don’t have a good hand. It’s very bad.” Perhaps he had in mind and earlier hand where Litvinov bluffed the river and Vogelhuber called him with two-pair.

On the river of a board reading {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs} Bruno Lopes bet 1,300 but quickly laid it down when Vogelhuber raised him to 3,350. On the very next hand Erwann Pecheux opened for 500 and called a 1,200 three-bet from Vogelhuber.

On a board of {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} Pecheux opened the door with a check and Vogelhuber stormed straight in with a bet of 1,700. Pecheux looked pained, he wasn’t the first, but mucked his hand.

Vogelhuber finished 24th in the Deauville Poker Cup for €1,720 earlier this week and is currently over his starting stack and having a lot of fun.

The Limp Four-Bet Shove

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Vincent Attal limped from under the gun, saw a raise and the three-bet of Niki Rositi in the big blind. Attal moved all in for more than 14,000 chips and was snapped off by Rositi with {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. Attal was in bad shape with {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} and couldn't survive the {2-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} board.

Teichert Back on Track

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Nikolaus Teichert had been bluffed off a bigger pot before, but the German is very well back on track. His 2,500-bet was called by an opponent on the river of a {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {5-Hearts} board and the German turned over {K-Spades} {10-Spades} for top pair. That was apparently good enough to scoop the pot and the WSOP bracelet winner now has chips to put pressure on the table.
