Level 19: 5,000/10,000 (10,000) Entries: 101/1,992 After losing the huge hand against Erez Hen, Giuseppe Dedoni was down to only a few big blinds. He just lost those in a preflop all-in against Shaun Decesare. After a raise and reraise both were all-in and Dedoni was – once more – behind in the match-up. Giuseppe…
Level 19: 5,000/10,000 (10,000) Entries: 107/1,992 Some hands are easily described: Player A has aces, and player B has kings. Both are aggressive. One raises, the other re-raises, and – lo and behold – both are all-in. This just happened at table 10 with Erez Hen having the aces and Giuseppe Dedoni having the kings.…
Level 19: 5,000/10,000 (10,000) Entries: 115/1,992 We learned that Khalil Ameed doubled up with a straight to soar past 2 million in chips. Shortly after, he gave a few back. Samuel Marseiler got his last 120,000 into the pot and was up against Ameed. Samuel Marseiler: Khalil Ameed: Marseiller improved to two pair on the…
Level 19: 4,000/8,000 (8,000) Entries: 125/1,992 The hand began with Maksym Sheingart raising from UTG to 20k and Desmond Farrell calling the raise in the cut-off. Behind the two of them Day 1a chip leader Antoine Talvard re-raised to 70k and after Sheingart folded, Farrell called. Flop: Now Farrell moved all-in for 170,000. Talvard instantly…

Level 18: 4,000/8,000 (8,000) Entries: 127/1,992 Flips are the most likely way to go if you bust the Battle of Malta. This just happened to Emanuele Napolitano who was taken out by Edikas Jurgutis. Napolitano moved all-in from UTG for 108,000. In the small blind Jurgutis called and the two saw a showdown: Emanuele Napolitano:…
Level 17: 4,000/8,000 (8,000) Entries: 144/1,992 Right after typing up the last hand, we returned to Table 15 and saw Madis Ormisson win the next hand. This one was only moderately spectaular. It began with him min-raising in the cut-off. Behind him Vitale Raffaele called. Flop: Ormisson bet 17k, Raffaele called. Turn: Ormisson bet 17k…
David Keuftedjian fired seven bullets into the Battle of Malta Main Event and he just lost his last flip. After losing a big hand (which we unfortunately didn’t see), he was down to 37,000 chips – six big blinds. After a raise, he moved all-in and was called by two players, Madis Ormission and Robert…
