2015 GPI Global Poker Masters

Team Canada's Andrew Chen just played two hands very tightly and that might indicate the team will aim to score a few min-cashes in order to at least not drop down the standings. While Team Canada currently sits in fifth place with 38,000 points they are only 1,000 ahead of France and 2,000 ahead of Ukraine.

Team Canada, France and Ukraine will be even tighter against Team United Kingdom, because they Brits are at the bottom of the ranks and losing chips to them will have very big implications. Team UK will need to win lots of chips in order to jump out of last place.

Mustapha Kanit and Marvin Rettenmaier got their chips in before the flop. They both showed one card first; Kanit the , Rettenmaier the . Kanit then showed the , and Rettenmaier the... .

Kanit laughed and messed up Rettenmaier's stack to teach him a lesson not to slowroll an Italian.

The board came and the counting if the chips began. Kanit had 100 chips kless and finished in third. Heads up between Italy and France now on Table 5.
