Not a Day for France

Apr 18, '09

Antony Lellouche (pictured right) has busted out of day 1A. It just wasn't happening for the friendly French man - he tried raising, but only got reraised, and this happened 21 times. He flopped a straight and walked it straight into a flush and then pushed his remaining chips in with A-9, which was of course beaten by a better ace.

Manuel Bevand didn't even even see the end of the first level. After 10 minutes he hit the rail.

Lellouche Lumps it in

Mar 11, '09

With around 3,800 in the pot on a board that reads Q7K6, Mike McDonald on the small blind bets 2,700 and Antony Lellouche on the big blind raises it to 7,200. McDonald tanks for a few minutes and looks slightly scared. He then calls.

The river is the J and both players check. McDonald shows K10 and Lellouche mucks, saying, "Small pair." A big pot goes in the opposite direction of Mike McDonald and Lellouche's stack is massively damaged.

In the very next hand, Lellouche raises the small blind to 1,600. The flop comes 962 and Lellouche bets 2,000. The small blind raises it up to 4,000 and Lellouche insta-folds. 

It looks like he is going on tilt when straight away he gets involved with Katja Thater. Raising it up preflop to 1,600, Thater reraises all-in for 6,150 and Lellouche, without batting an eyelid, calls. He flips over a very strong AK while Thater is behind with QJ.

The board falls 7645K and Lellouche successfully puts Thater out. He doubles up to around the 12,600 mark.

Level 2 Update

Mar 11, '09

Johan Van Til has had one hell of a tournament so far. First of all he doubled up, then lost nearly everything, then doubled up again, and is now standing at 3,275.

Jesper Hougaard has been making some small moves and attempts at taking down any pots which are up for the taking.

Antony Lellouche has also been making some attempts at stealing pots. He recently got a little caught out after betting 250 in late position preflop. An American player to his left raised it to 800 and then the button reraised it to 2,200. All the blinds folded as did Lellouche. The American counted his opponent's stack, which was about 6,000. He thought and then folded. The button showed pocket kings.

Elsewhere, Marcel Luske on the small blind checked a flop of Q-10-X blind. His opponent checked and Luske said, "I'm checking it blind, for you." The turn was a 7 and Luske threw out a couple hundred. "I've no idea what I have!" he sniggered. His opponent folded and Luske showed a 7 for a pair on the turn... "But I do know I have a 7," he added.

Coming in late in the action, with the board showing 96366 - the pot was quite big for so early in the tournament. It looked like Davidi Kitai had basically bet the pot when he threw out 6,600 in front of him. His opponent called with A9and Kitai showed 86. "Good luck!" said the poor unfortunate as he left the tournament area.

Elpayaa Can't Get Paid

Nov 15, '08

Joe Elpayaa is down to 2,425 in chips. He just went all in and was called by the button who then shows AK. Elpayaa showed another variation of the monster hand, and the board fell A9266. Elpayaa couldn't catch a break and it's a chop chop. Anthony Lellouche is also on the table. He is in a better position however with 27,000 chips.

Smurfit Shows a Nice Play

Oct 04, '08

Alan Smurfit moves all in for 302,000 after Anthony Lellouche opens things with a standard raise. Lellouche thinks for a minute or two, and then Lellouche mucks A-J face up on the table. Smurfit collects the pot and flips over A-7 as he does so to show that he is loosening up a bit. Smurfit has gotten a lot of respect at this table as an absolute rock. He may now try to use that table image to his advantage as the play continues to be tight on the televsion table bubble.

Peter Busch Eliminated in 11th Place (£35,891)

Oct 04, '08

Peter Busch just busted out of the tournament on a short stack in 11th place to take home £35,891 in prize money. He was forced to move all in on a very short stack on the final hand of the night, but it was a hand that took place right before that, that crippled him.

Busch had Anthony Lellouche covered all in, and better yet he had made a spade flush on the turn. But Lellouche held K-Q in the hole on that board of KK7Q and made a full  house. The river card was the 2 and Lellouche doubled up to cross the 1 million threshold in chips. Busch was crippled and out a few minutes later.

The Final Two to Go

Oct 03, '08

Anthony Lellouche has bust the second last player before the end of night with 9 10 on a board  of 10 9 7 J 4.

Danish giant Rene Mouritsen then asked how much the difference was between 33rd place and 32nd. He didn't seem to be too bothered about the response so has pushed all in. David Benyamine calls and the two flip over their cards.

Mouritsen: A 5

Benyamine: 9 9

The final board of the night reads:

10 6 6 K 3

Mouritsen is the last player of the night to make a formal exit. He doesnt go away empty handed however. He will collect £11,419 for his performance on the way out.

Fionn MacNamara just busted out. One player limps in, Macnamara makes it 10,000 on the big blind, his opponent shoves all in. The board comes A-6-4 to give Macnamara top pair. The turn and river drop K-J and everything changes. His opponent makes a straight and Macnamara is out.

Vanessa Rousso is all-in with kings versus Marcin Horecki's pocket eights. The board falls A J7 A 2 and Rousso doubles up. to just under 100,000. Horecki still has 164,000 behind.

Anthony Lellouche has taken some minor blows to his stack. He put one opponent all-in after hitting middle pair on a 9 7 5 flop. The turn and river were the 5 and J and all of a sudden he was floored by a straight. His stack is just around the average mark.

Eliminations:
Antony Lellouche

Big Hands and Storylines:

“Advertise Now, Steal Later”

Those words uttered by Chris Vitch after raising from the small blind and forcing Bill Chen to lay down his hand. Vitch showed a made 8-6. Of course, one wonders if Vitch’s cunning gambit will pay off after letting Chen in on it.

The Table of Death

It appears that one table stands out above all others as one to watch during today’s early preceding. Greg Raymer is seated at a table along with Steve Sung, John Phan, Ralph Perry, David Sklansky, and Jose Luis Velador. Action started off fast as Raymer took a big pot off of Phan early in the first level of the day:

Raymer raised from the hijack and was called by Phan in the big blind. Both players drew 2 cards and Phan checked. Raymer bet and “The Razor” called. Phan drew one card and Raymer stood pat. Phan check-raised Raymer on the next betting round and Raymer called. Both players stood pat on the final draw and Phan check-called Raymer’s bet. Raymer’s no. 3 – 7-6-5-3-2 – was better than Phan’s eight low, and “Fossilman” raked in a sizeable pot. He’s now up to 65,000.

Billy Baxter Doubles Up

Lowball specialist Billy Baxter just doubled through Ray Henson to get back to more respectable 20,000 in chips. This is bad news for the rest of the players at the table. Baxter owns 5 deuce-to-seven bracelets and will be looking to add a 6^th to his collection.

Robert Mizrachi Racing To The Top

Gioi Luong, first to act, raised to 1,200, Mizrachi called in the small blind, James Copeland 3-bet from the big blind, and the other two players called. Mizrachi drew two and the others drew one card. Copeland bet and Mizarachi and Luong called. On the 2^nd draw each player took one card. On this round of betting Mizrachi and Copeland checked to Luong who bet and both players called. On the final draw Mizrachi drew one and the other players stood pat. Mizrachi led out into the two pat players, who both folded. Mizrachi claimed he had a 7-6 and raked in a large pot, taking him to 65,000.

War of Attrition

Jun 30, '07

Remarkably no one has gone bust in the last hour and we are still searching for our official final table bubble boy.  Currently the players are on a 15 minute break.  They were given the option of playing through the break, but took the break at one player's request

Andy Bloch has been extremely card-dead and is on life support with only $20,000 in chips.  When play resumes he will have less than one big bet.  Mark Bartlog was able to double his own short stack courtesy of chip leader Jon Shoreman making a 10-8 low after the second draw, and standing pat, but with $130,000 he will have just over 4 big bets when play resumes.

Both Rafi Amit and Anthony Lellouche have made it clear that they are more interested in being unrestricted for the $10,000 pot limit omaha event tomorrow, so they have been playing lots of hands, but Amit is currently second in chips.
