EPT Prague: Italian Civil War
11 months ago
Salvatore Bonavena raises it up to $72,000 and Massimo Di Ciccio moves all-in for $212,000.
With the dead money from the blinds and antes this is pretty much an autocall for Bonavena, who's getting nearly 2.4-1 and has plenty of chips back.
So he folds.
Sorry people; I know you want to, but it's too late to buy in to this tournament.

EPT Prague: Nygard Has a Long Nickname!
11 months ago
Andrew Chen raises to $70,000 from the small blind and Fredrik Nygard gives the matter some thought before moving all-in for another $400,000 or so from the big blind. Chen mucks rather quickly and Nygard takes down the pot, showing as he does the T
7
.
"I never lose with this hand," he tells the table. "I'm on a rush of 50 hands online where I've made money with this hand. My nickname is Ten-seven-of-diamonds-suited!"

EPT Prague: Chen on the March
11 months ago
Andrew Chen started the day as the short stack, and was lucky to win two dominated all-ins, but the Canadian has turned up the heat since then, taking advantage of his good fortune and picking up several big pots to propel him over the $1 million mark in a dramatic turnabout.
There are bound to be twists and turns aplenty left in this EPT, but Chen's recovery means he is now a potential challenger for the title.

Andrew Chen raises and Fredrik Nygard makes the call. The flop comes J

and Chen bets out $80,000. Nygard gives the matter some thought before making the call and the turn is the A

Now Chen, his consternation showing, bets out $200,000. Nygard tanks some more but ultimately releases his hand, and Chen takes the pot. He's now on over $1 million and climbing.

EPT Prague: Nasr Escobar'd (7th)
11 months ago
Andrew Chen raises to $48,000 and Nasr El Nasr moves all-in over the top for about $250,000 more. Action folds back to Chen, who makes a quick call and turns up T
T
to find himself racing El Nasr's K
J
.
The flop brings the drama, coming T
4
2
to give Chen the set but El Nasr the diamond flush draw. The turn is the 7
and the river the 8
and El Nasr, one of the better players at the table today, can't spike a diamond and is thus eliminated.
He's out in seventh place and earns €99,500 for his time.

EPT Prague: Blo-felled!
11 months ago
Fredrik Nygard's sun is being eclipsed at the moment, the Blofeld look-alike paying off Konstantinos' thin value bet recently, and he has just continued his downward trend, losing another big chunk to Nasr El Nasr.
It opened with Nygard opening to $39,000, only for Nasr to ship it in for $263,000.
Nygard has shown a propensity to not fold so far, and after burying his head in his hands for a few moments he made the call with A-J, finding himself dominated by Nasr's A-K.
The board ran out K
J
T
3
6
for a handy double-through for Nasr, who is now up to $556k, whilst the Finn is in freefall right now.
