PPT reunion at Table 14

Table 14 is bearing resemblance to a PPT old boys reunion right now as the re-shuffle has pitted the likes of Carlos Oliveira and Ronnie Espensen against one another.

At the same table are former winners Aleksandar Abutovic and Christos Xanthopoulous but in spite of a little sparring, none of these regulars have yet come to blows.

Espensen came off worse for a clash with another villain however, making a river call on a board with four spades, only for his opponent to show the nuts.

The Dane had raised pre-flop, continuation-bet the K♠-4♣-10♠ and after both players checked the 8♠ turn the river 5♠ only enticed Ronnie into a call of 5,800 on the end.

The almost cut the the PPT2 League champion's 20k stack in half, but with blinds at 100/200, he remains in contention.

Abutovic meanwhile was pointing to the heavens in his 'lucky casino' after getting away all but unscathed from cracked Aces. The Spaniard had limped utg with his pocket rockets and somehow wriggled away unharmed after all players limped to the flop and his opponent flopped a set of 10s.
