PokerStars.com EPT London - Dinnar! 1 year ago

The four remaining players have headed off on a one-hour dinner break with Team PokerStars Pro's Marcin Horecki ($2.1 million) grabbing the lead after American Eric Liu ($1.6 million) dropped some chips to Swede Michael Tureniec ($1.3 million).

Michael Martin ($860,000) will return with the other three in 60 minutes.

PokerStars.com EPT London - Just Like That 1 year ago

Team PokerStars Pro's Marcin Horecki has doubled through chip boss Eric Liu, knocking him back down to size.

Horecki finally stood up to one of Liu's many table-controlling pre-flop raises, making a $120k call. The Kc 8h 7d flop was checked by both before the Qh turn and another tap on the table from Horecki.

Liu then wasted little time making it $200k before Horecki pounced, check-raising all-in for $750k more.

Liu counted it out, thought for a while and decided to gamble with Ah Th, having picked up the combo gutter-flush draw on the turn.

Horecki had checked a king twice only to check-raise the turn with Kh Tc and it held when the 5c came rolling down on the river.

The two are now neck and neck for the lead.

PokerStars.com EPT London - D'Auteuil D'one (5th) 1 year ago

We're four-handed now that Phillippe D'Auteuil is out. The young French-Canadian shipped it with two black eights and knew he was beat when Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki re-shipped behind.

It was two red kings for the Polack and after the Ac 7s 7h 4h 5h board never really helped D'Auteuil at all, he was gone.

D'Auteuil wrote on his bio that he was going to bail out a buddy from jail with the prize money and £195,766 should do at least that.

"I think the structure sucks because everyone is so short," he said in his exit interview with EPT hostess Kara Scott, before making a questionable, racially insensitive joke about the fact he felt Eric Liu was going to win, cutting the interview rather short.

PokerStars.com EPT London - The Count 1 year ago

"Do you think I'm raising light?" Eric Liu said, one hand after min-raising his way to yet another theft of the blinds and antes.

No one answered, and no one answered the call when he did it a third time moments ago, again with the min-raise. He's got the big stack and is stealing this thing away from the other four, daring them to take him on.

PokerStars.com EPT London - Smurfit Forgotten (6th) 1 year ago

We almost forgot Alan Smurfit was here in London, and now he's left us. Smurfit played so few hands over the last while he became invisible, and he disappeared altogether moments ago, shoving his short stack in with As 4h.

Michael Martin looked him up with Jh Jd and Smurfit was all but done after the Kd Jc 3d flop. He picked up a gutter on the 5c turn, but the 5h river killed him off.

Smurfit will take £153,351 for sixth, and then there were five.

PokerStars.com EPT London - Doubling D'Auteuil 1 year ago

As expected, D'Auteuil shoved soon after taking the massive hit described below and a few hands after getting a chop with A-9 vs. A-9,  he sucked out to double up.

This time it Michael Tureniec who called the D'Auteuil push, and he was in good shape to rail the French-Canadian sixth with Kh Jd against 7d 6d.

He even flopped two pair when the Kd Js 4d fell, but a closer look showed a flush draw for  D'Auteuil.

The 3c turn removed just one diamond from D'Auteuil's outs, but the 3d river wasn't it, and he doubled back close to half a million in chips, causing five of his French-Canadian buddies to screech like schoolgirls.

PokerStars.com EPT London - D'Auteuil Self-Destructs 1 year ago

Philippe D'Auteuil made the wrong move at the wrong time and is now crippled after doubling up Team PokerStars Pro's Marcin Horecki.

He shoved with Ac 9h facing a smallish raise from Horecki and got picked off. Horecki had Ad Kd and is now on $1.3 million after the Ts 7c 6c 5d 6d board brought no suck-out for the French-Canadian.

We're still six-handed, but D'Auteuil has just $165k and will need to double quick or face extinction.

PokerStars.com EPT London - Strassmann Stressed (7th) 1 year ago

One hand after Marcin Horecki doubled through him sucking out a jack on the river against his ace high, Johannes Strassmann is out.

He finished seventh after getting it all-in good with Js Jh against Michael Martin's Kd Qh and failing to prevent Martin from flopping a queen.

Strassmann's third EPT final table without a win ends, but the German will find a check for £120,723 waiting for him at the cage.
