Hand #70:

Hossein Ensan opened for 500,000 and this time he had {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Andrey Shatilov called with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Ji Zhang had {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, thought about his move for a few seconds, and declared that he was all in. Ensan re-shoved and Shatilov left them to it.

The cards ran out {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Zhang had hit his ace, but the set for Ensan all but sealed his fate and the amateur from Germany was the next player to hit the rail.

Looking Back on Timothy Adams' First EPT

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Canadian high-stakes player Timothy Adams tells us how his first ever EPT event was the €50,000 Super High Roller in Barcelona. The story behind this event is quite amazing, as Adams bluffed away all his chips on the feature table against pocket kings.

Hands #59-62: Three-Bet Shoving

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #59: Samuel Phillips opened for 500,000 with {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Kiryl Radzivonau with {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} moved all in for just under 2.5m. That did the job and the pot was pushed to the “Angry moron.”

Hand #60: Phillips was undeterred and opened for 500,000 with {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Ji Zhang shoved with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and it was his turn to take it down.

Hand #61: Hossein Ensan made it 500,000 with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Andrey Shatilov shoved with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Ensan looked back at his cards, sighed, and folded.

Hand #62: Phillips in the small blind with {k-Hearts}{4-Spades} raised to 550,000 and took it down.

Level: 34

Blinds: 125,000/250,000

Ante: 25,000

Hands #58: Good Call From Ensan

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #58: Andrea Dato made it 400,000 with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} from under the gun. Andre Lettau in the small blind with {a-Spades}{9-Spades} threw it away and big blind Hossein Ensan with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} called. The flop was {2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} both players checked. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and they both checked again to see the river {8-Diamonds}. A bet of 450,000 from Dato got called and Ensan won the pot.
