European Poker Tour San Remo Day 4 RecapEight Return for Final Table Eyeing €1.5 Million Top Prize |
|
Just 32 players from the original field of 1,178 players returned for day 4 of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour San Remo with all eyes on the €1.5 million top prize. By the end of play we had our final eight.
Here’s how some of the action went down from CardPlayer.com’s live updates yesterday:
Benjamin Kang Eliminated in 29th Place(€21,700)
Benjamin Kang (pictured right) was all in on the button for 236,000, and it was about 197,000 for Danilo D’Ettoris to call. "What’s the difference?" D’Ettoris asked the dealer and then called after a minute. He showed Q Q and Kang flipped over 9 9.
The board brought an interesting 10 8 7 for a straight draw for Kang. "One time!" he laughed. The turn and the river only offered a couple of threes – 3 3 – and EPT San Remo lost its last familiar, friendly face.
David Eldar Eliminated in 19th Place (€26,300)
Australian David Eldar was a mid-session victim on day 4. All-in with A-K on a flop of 8-7-2. Dragan Galic quickly called, his A-7 having hit a 7, and he stayed ahead throughout the 10 turn and 4 river.
Eldar played extremely well and went home with €26,300 for 19th place.
Katalin Jerney Eliminated in 15th Place (€30,850)
Katalin Jerney was all-in for 350,000. There were two more players to act. William Reynolds reraised all in and got rid of the third player Kalle Niem. Reynolds flipped over 6 6 and Jerney showed A 8.
The board fell Q 7 4 but it wasn’t going to go Jerney’s way this time either as Reynold pulled further ahead with the 6 turn and Q river. His full house put the last female out of the event but she remained happy and was delighted with her finish. A good example of how to end four days of hard work at the felt.
Pierre Neuville Eliminated in Ninth Place (€78,800)
Pierre Neuville was the final table bubble boy. All-in with K 10, Gustav Sundell was the one to take him out with pocket queens.
