Small Slip for Renkers

After Danyel Boyaciyan opened for an unknown amount from middle position, Patrick Renkers three-bet to 82,000 from the small blind. Boyaciyan called to see the flop come down {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Renkers fired 58,000, but Boyaciyan came back with a raise to 142,000. Renkers folded and Boyaciyan won the pot.

Ruzicka Stands His Ground

In middle position, Vojtech Ruzicka raised to 36,000, and Jude Ainsworth three-bet to 75,000 a couple seats over. Ruzicka made the call, and off they went.

The dealer spread out {5-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {5-Spades}, and Ruzicka check-called 100,000 from Ainsworth. He check-called another 175,000 after the {8-Hearts} turned, and the {6-Spades} filled out the board on the river. Check-check this time, though Ruzicka looks like he would have preferred another bet.

Ainsworth could only show {K-Hearts} {4-Clubs} for two pair with the king, and Ruzicka's {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} was the better of the two hands. His superfluous full house earned him that nice pot to vault his count up to about 1.5 million.

Pastor Pounds the Pavement

Juan Manuel Pastor - out
Juan Manuel Pastor - out

It's not been an enjoyable Day 4 for Juan Manuel Pastor. At least it was a short one. After losing two big flips for almost all the chips, Pastor got the last of his money in good with {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} against an opponent's {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs}.

The board ran {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs}, though, and the flush sends Pastor steaming out into the corridors.

It's now up to Ireland's Jude Ainsworth to carry the torch for the Team PokerStars Pros.

Renkers Climbs Right Back

Even though Patrick Renkers just lost some chips to Danyel Boyaciyan, he was right back at it shortly after taking chips from Ramil Boyazitov.

Play folded to Renkers in the cutoff seat and he raised to 35,000. Boyazitov three-bet to 73,000 from the button and Renkers called to see the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} flop. Renkers checked, Boyazitov bet 93,000 and Renkers called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {3-Clubs} on the turn. Renkers fired 200,000 and Boyazitov verbally snap-called.

Renkers tabled the {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for trip queens. Boyazitov showed {A-}{K-} off suit, but it was second best and Renkers won the pot.

Tevosov KO's Vidal

Jude Ainsworth raised to 35,000 from middle position, but he'd be forced out preflop. That's because Haykel Cherif Vidal shoved in for 300,000 from the button and Garry Tevosov made the call from the small blind. Vidal was at risk, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Vidal: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Tevosov: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {7-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, and Tevosov's kicker was good enough. It's the end of the line for Vidal, and the eliminations are beginning to mount here on Day 4.

Hrdlicka Heads Out

Under the gun, Andreas Wiese raised to 35,000, and David Hrdlicka three-bet shoved for about 300,000 total. Wiese would be forced to fold because Pontus Khosravi found {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and made an easy call. When Wiese folded, Hrdlicka showed up his {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, racing for double or nothing.

It would be nothing. The board came {K-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {3-Hearts}, and the Czech Republic has lost another hometown hero. Hrdlicka is out, and Khosravi has moved over the million-chip mark with that KO.

Timex Stops Ticking

Mike McDonald - out
Mike McDonald - out

The EPT will have to wait at least one more stop to crown its first double champion.

Martin Finger raised to 35,000 to open the pot, and Mike McDonald reraised to 81,000 total. Finger came right back over the top with another raise to 152,000, and now "Timex" flatted to see a flop.

It came {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}, and McDonald called a continuation bet of 105,000. That left him with about 525,000 behind, and Finger shoved on him after the {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn. McDonald had {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, and he called off the rest of his stack. Unfortunately for the EPT4 Dortmund champ, he'd run into the {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} of Finger, and a blank on the river has ended his day prematurely in 27th place.

Finger is stil stacking up that pot, but it should move him up over 2 million if our gorilla math is correct.

Fortunately for Timex, the €10,000 High Roller event is just getting under way on the other side of the room, and he's headed straight over to the registration desk to spend some of that money he just earned from this Main Event cash.

The Luck of the Irish

Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth may not have an EPT Main Event title yet, but he did just set himself up a bit better to make a real run at it with the following hand.

Action folded to Ainsworth in the small blind and he min-raised to 32,000. Pontus Khosravi was in the big blind and took his time before three-bet to 74,000. After a minute, Ainsworth reraised all in for 475,000. Khosravi snapped so fast it could only mean one thing.

Khosravi: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Ainsworth: {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Things looked very bad for Ainsworth, but he got a little bit of help on the {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop when he picked up a gutshot straight draw.

The turn {5-Hearts} did nothing, but the {6-Diamonds} on the river was exactly what Ainsworth needed. He had made his straight, albeit by nothing short of a miracle, and was able to double through.

Ainsworth has five EPT Main Event cashes on his record. The deepest of those runs came from a 13th-place finish in the 2009 EPT Vilamoura Main Event for €13,274. His best finish money-wise came in 2010 at EPT Berlin where Ainsworth finished in 19th for €23,500. Earlier this year, Ainsworth won a side event at the EPT San Remo.

Cavaller Drinks a Double

Vesa Leikos came in with a mini-raise under the gun, and the table folded all the way around to the big blind. There, Guillem Cavaller looked down at {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and stuck his last 176,000 into the pot. Leikos called off a little more than half his stack with {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, and the race was on.

Cavaller's little fives held on strong as the board rolled out {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. It's a double for Cavaller and a halving of the stack for Leikos, and the two men have essentially exchanged stacks with that pot. As you can see from the trend, though, the fresh double for Cavaller still puts him at less than half what he began the day with.
