Koen de Bakker out

The Dutch Live the Dream player Koen de Bakker, born in Leiden, just busted. He lost a big pot when he went all in after a limp and a raise with jacks, but the initial raiser called with AA. Koen will play the 330 euro side event tomorrow and he we will see him again during the 3LT Warnemuende.

Good game Koen!

Pablo Ubierna was caught bluffing...and busted

Pablo Ubierna had some history with one of the other players at table 20. This Spanish participant, with the nickname 'Email', warned Pablo. "We know each other and online you always win, so now it's pay back time!". On a Js 8C 7s flop both players check. The turn is a 4c and Pablo decides to bet his flush draw, he holds Ac Qc. Email calls. The river is a 9s. This card complete a lot of draws, except Pablo's! The Spanish qualifier checks and Pablo moves all in. "Call!" and we have a showdown. A8 beats Pablo's bluff!

Pablo...still smiling!

Antoine Saout is out!

We lost Antoine Saout in the third level today. He was already short stacked and decided to move all in after a raise with AQo. It ended up that he was facing pocket tens and AK. The flop gave hope: AQ7. The turn was a blank but the river gave one of the opponents of Antoine Saout his third ten....

SPT Castellon day 1

Welcome to the Main Event SPT Castellon Day 1!

After a great success in Aranjuez and the white island of Ibiza, the Spanish Poker Tour is now being hosted in Castellon!

Once more the well known tour presents itself with the proven structure with a 15,000 starting stack and 60 minute blind levels. This allows players to have a smooth entry into the tournament and work their way to their share of the fantastic prize pool, this time over 150k!

Maria Maceiras in full concentration.

The main event started at 5 PM local time. 202 players (that's a record!!) registered for the third stop of the third season. The winner will take home more than 60k euro! Of course we can welcome some Team Everest and Live the Dream players; amongst them we see Maria Maceiras, Javier Martinez, Antoine Saout, Leonard Truche, Fabien Perrot, Tobias Wagner and Koen de Bakker.
