Level 28

Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After a long lull in play, a massive cooler was dealt that led to a three-way all in. Scott Margereson moved all in from the button for 1,100,000, Antoine Saout pushed over the top from the small blind with the biggest stack, and Tarmo Tammel called in the big blind with a similar amount to Margereson. Players flipped over their cards.
Scott Margereson: A?9?
Tarmo Tammel: A?A?
Antoine Saout: J?J?
Margereson found himself in serious bother as the cards were revealed, and Saout was also far behind as Tammel turned over his pocket aces.
The board ran out 9?4?K?6?7? and Tammel held to triple up his stack. Saout won a tiny side pot from Margereson, but still had to hand over a chunk of his chips to Saout.
Margereson was eliminated from the tournament in fourth place for �168,850.

Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Antoine Saout raised to 175,000 from the cutoff and Scott Margereson defended in the big blind.
Margereson check-called a bet of 100,000 from Saout on the 7?7?9? flop.
The 4? turn saw Margereson check again, Saout bet out 315,000 and Margereson folded. This marked the first turn card the four players have seen in several orbits.

Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action in the EPT High Roller has slowed down over the last level or so, with most hands consisting of a single raise-fold or postflop bet and fold. Antoine Saout holds a clear chip lead and Tarmo Tammel has the shortest stack of around 15 big blinds.
The pay jumps are now huge. The next player to bust will receive �168,850 and third place is set to take �219,550, a jump of over �50,000 between the two spots contributing to a tighter mode of play.
