1:30pm: Panka pummelled
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Sorry Poles -- and poker fans the world over -- Dominik Panka is out. After Patrick Clarke opened to 23,000 from under the gun, Panka shoved for about 230,000 from the button and Clarke called.
Clarke: [ks][kh]
Panka: [th][tc]
It was a tough break for Panka, particularly when the board ran [jd][jc][3s][jh][5d], leaving Adrian Mateos as the last remaining former champions. -- HS
1:20pm: Tough turn knocks out Wigg
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Over on the feature table, Anton Wigg opened for 23,000 then saw Kuljinder Sidhu reraise to 60,000 behind him. The action returned around to Wigg who shoved all in for 298,000, and after some thought Sidhu called the shove.
Wigg had [Ah][Jc] and was hoping to improve versus Sidhu's [7h][7d], and the [6h][Ac][4d] flop brought such improvement by giving Wigg a better pair and a seemingly strong hold on the hand. But then the [7c] fell on the turn, and Wigg turned his head away from the table in frustration as Sidhu had made an unbeatable set of sevens.
The [Qc] river meaninglessly completed the board, and Wigg is out in 31st. Meanwhile Sidhu is now up over 1.15 mllion. --MH
1:10pm: Wigg out
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Anton Wigg is out in 31st place. Kuljinder Sidhu 3-bet with pocket sevens and Wigg got his chips in with [ah][jc]. The flop brought an ace but the turn a seven. Wigg visibly winced at that, drawing dead on the river. -- SB
1:05pm: Jean runs into Williams' bullets
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Frank Williams opens a lot of pots, so he has a very good chance of being paid off when he actually finds a hand. And he just found [ah][ad] versus Mikael Jean's [as][qh] and they got it all in on a flop of [qd][5d][8c].
Jean's shove was for about 150,000 but after a turn of [7s] and a river [7c], that 150,000 was heading to Williams and increases his stack to about 850,000 -- HS
1:00pm: Reeves out
Level 20 - Blinds: 10,000-20,000 (1,000 ante)
Lucas Reeves is out. He shoved all-in with [7h][7d] and got a call from fellow Brit Rhys Jones who held [ah][ks].
The flop came [9d][9c][kd], which Reeves admitted was not good. The turn and river were both eights, which didn't change that. Reeves made his way to the rail while Jones now has 1.15million. - SB
12:55pm Banic gets stronger
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Ivan Banic opened to 22,000 and found two callers in Patrick Clarke (on the button) and Tomas MacNamara (small blind).
The three went to a flop which came the [9c][6h][4d]. Both MacNamara and Banic checked, leading to a 32,000 bet from Clarke. Only Banic would call, and we went to the [ah] on the turn. It was checked to Clarke again and now the bet was 56,000. Banic called and the two saw the [jd] hit the river. Both checked, and Banic took it down with his [as][kd]. Clarke mucked.
Ivan Banic now has 1.2 million. --JS
12:50pm: Akenhead croaks courtesy of Kruk
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
By the turn, the board showed the [7h][8s][6s][4s]. James Akenhead had put out a bet, which was re-raised by Christopher Kruk. Akenhead then shoved for 274,000 total, Kruk asked for a count, and made the call.
Akenhead was dreaming of spades as he had the [as][5d]. Meanwhile, Kruk wasn't afraid of a flopped flush, and called with [tc][9c] for a straight.
Only a spade could save Akenhead, but the river was the [kd]. Kruk now has 1.4 million.
Akenhead, another November Niner, is now free to join Neuville to relive the memories of Vegas. --JS
12.45pm: November Niner Neuville out in 35th
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Pierre Neuville's turn now to head to the door, another victim of the Day 2 chip-leader, Ivan Banic.
Banic opened from the hijack and Neuville called from the cutoff and it was only those two to a flop of [4d][8h][2d]. Banic checked, Neuville bet 50,000 and then Banic moved all in, comfortably covering Neuville's last 150,000 or so.
Neuville called all in, but this was a misstep. He had his top pair with his [9s][8s] but was in trouble against Banic's [jc][js].
The [kc][3s] completed the board and Neuville heads away. Banic is up to about 800,000. -- HS
12:41pm: Teichert out
Level 20 - Blinds: 10,000-20,000 (1,000 ante)
Nikolaus Teichert is out. He and Iliodoros Kamatakis got their chips in on a flop of [td][th][6s]. Each had a ten, but Kamatakis had the advantage.
Teichert: [tc][9h]
Kamatakis: [as][ts]
The turn and river brought nothing to change Teichert's fate. - SB
12:40pm: Calamusa and Hadad - both gone
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
So many bust-outs, such little time to sit down and type them up before hearing "All in and a call!"
The first to tell you about is Pierre Calamusa. He got his last 140,000 in on the [9d][4h][ad] flop with the [qd][6d] and was called by Scott Margereson's [ac][td]. The turn was the [as], giving Margereson trips, and the [kh] river was not the diamond Calamusa was looking for in the rough.
Then, after Gilles Bernies had checked the turn on a [2d][7d][qc][4h] board, Or Hadad moved all in for 119,000 into a 125,000 pot. Bernies called with [qs][th] which was ahead of Hadad's [8s][8d]. The [2s] hit the river and Hadad was eliminated.
Bernies moves up to 1.4 million. --JS
12:36pm: The Adventures of Jamie Staples (Final scene)
Level 20 - Blinds: 10,000-20,000 (1,000 ante)
Who knew that moving all in for 2,000 could reap such an enormous return. But it does. None of which really meant anything to Jamie Staples, who just busted the Main Event.
In reality it was the hand before the 2K shove that did the damage.
He moved in from the hijack for about 245,000, behind a bet from Alex Meylan, who then called all-in himself.
Staples turned over [9s][9c] but would need help against Meylan's [ks][kc].
He didn't get it. The board ran out [4d][8h][qh][7h][tc] and the dealer did the calculations. Staples had him covered. Just. The dealer tossed him three yellow chips.
"Chip and a chair, right?" he said.
"Three chips," said Pierre Calamusa helpfully, as if that meant his predicament was actually three times better than that.
After coughing up the ante Staples shoved (can you shove two chips?) on the next hand. Remarkably it went rather well and at the end of the hand he had a flush and 16K.
So much?
Yang Zhang wanted to know why so much. To be honest I did too. So the dealer explained. Eight players (an ante each) and four players in the pot. Or something. It convinced Zhang. I'll work it out later.
Still, it kept Staples alive for another hand. Another shove, this time with 15,000 (after another ante) and [kc][9c]. Zhang was his opponent, but he had jacks and had flopped a set. That would see Staples, with a "good game guys," to the rail (and ultimate the EPT Live booth). -- SB
12:35pm: Bernies missteps but gets lucky to bust Arruda
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
This one happened a little while ago, but action has been so ridiculous we've not had a chance to publish everything just yet. But, to catch up:
To quote Worm from Rounders: "Lot of action. Lot. Of. Action."
Let's rewind five minutes. Brazil's William Arruda had opened to 21,000 - pretty standard. Then PokerStars Qualifier Gilles Bernies three-bet to 53,000. Both had started the day with similar stacks (603,000 for Arruda and 657,000 for Bernies).
Next up was a four-bet from Arruda to 121,000, and we knew a massive pot was in the works. Bernies then bumped it up again, this time with a five-bet 253,000.
Arruda didn't take too long to announce the sixth bet - an all-in shove for 550,000 more. Bernies stood, seemingly agitated. He eventually called with the [jd][js], which needed help to beat Arruda's [kc][kh].
There was none on the [2d][4s][6s] flop. But the [jh] flew in on the turn like a helicopter to a stranded castaway. Bernies let out a huge sigh of relief, while there were a few groans around the room.
The river was the [6h] and Arruda was sent packing. Meanwhile, Gilles Bernies is our new chip leader with 1.2 million. --JS
12.30pm: Litvinov continues the race to the door
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Even by established standards, this had been a mad opening 30 minutes. Artem Litvinov is now also out, his chips sliding towards Christopher Kruk. Litvinov was the first man into the room today, taking his seat about 15 minutes before play began. But it was a short day nonetheless. -- HS
12.23pm: Jones ousts Petrangelo
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Nick Petrangelo has become the latest casualty of this brutal opening 30 minutes. Petrangelo opened to 22,000 from early position and Jones three-bet to 56,000 one seat along. Action folded back to Petrangelo and he shoved for about 280,000 and Jones, after quickly double-checking his cards, called.
Jones: [ah][ad]
Petrangelo: [jc][jd]
The board didn't quite have enough paint for Petrangelo. It came [6d][qd][th][kc][6h]. That was the end of that for the dominant force of Petrangelo. Lucky for him, the High Roller has just started.
Jones has nearly a million chips. -- HS
12.15pm: Kan can't
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Raiden Kan has had a fine run at this EPT Dublin festival, but he is now out. He became the first casualty from the feature table
12.10pm: Jean genie
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
Mikael Jean just survived a pair-under-pair skirmish, denying Cathal Shine the chance to vault beyond half a million. The pair both had premium hands: Jean had [qh][qc] while Shine had [kh][kd].
The board ran [8c][jc][9c][4c][tc] and they both ended up playing the board. Jean began today with 228,400; Shine had 291,000. They still have about the same each after Jean found the genie in the bottle. -- HS
12:02pm: Panka doubles through MacNamara - first hand of the day
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
2014 PCA winner Dominik Panka has doubled up in the very first hand of the day. He came in with just nine big blinds (91,000), so it wasn't too surprising to see him get it in.
He got it in with the [ah][td] from under the gun and was called by Tomas MacNamara from the big blind, who held the [5c][5s].
The run-out was kind to Panka - [kd][tc][6d][qc][2h]. He won with his pair of tens and now sits with 192,000, while MacNamara has dropped to 474,000. --JS
12pm: First man down
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
We are down to 40 already after Adrien Allain became the first man out today. He got his last 84,000 in the middle with [ac][4c] and Adrian Mateos snapped him off with [9h][9c]. The flop was pretty emphatic. It came [9d][7d][7h] and Allain did not pull off the miraculous outdraw on the [ks][6c] turn and river. Allain will get €11,440. -- HS
12pm: Play under way
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
