Tough Start For the Ambassadors
Nível 2
: 50/100, 10 ante
Both Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche and Natalie "888natalieH" Hof haven't gotten off to the best start.
Natalie Hof just lost a chunk of chips against the Russian player "edelvez", when the latter flopped trips with 
on a 
-flop. Luckily Hof was let off the hook with a single bet on the turn.
Dominik Nitsche haven't had much luck either, and recently had to let go of a pot to table mate Renato "Curioso24" Lezama Nuñez. He did however win some back after his 
turned to top two pair, and the three time WSOP winner is now sitting on just above 18,000.

Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar Finds the Early Double
Nível 3
: 75/150, 15 ante
Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar opened up the action under the gun for 405, Kabotajoe called in the cutoff before Swedish player "klimpen_2" reraised the button to 1,650.
The blinds quickly got out of the way, and back on Korsar he made it 3,677 total. "Kabotajoe" couldn't quite muster the call, but "klimpen_2" wasn't going anywhere and four-bet to 6,014. Korsar committed the rest of his 16,640 chips and was quickly called.
Johannes Korsar: 
klimpen_2: 
Korsar needed to dodge queens, and with the board running out 
he did just that, and surged to 34,015 chips and the better end of the leader board.
