Blue Steel

[user127999]

Nível 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mike McDonald may be the most intimidating player in poker.

Of course, the record speaks for itself. McDonald was winning millions online when he was just a teenager, won his first EPT title at 18 and last week, when he shipped the €25,750 High Roller, he became the EPT's all-time leading money winner with $6,228,104 in career earnings.

A day later he was overtaken on the list when Steve O'Dwyer made it up to $6,731,614 winning the €10,200 Single-Day High Roller, but the Hendon Mob page may not be the scariest thing about the man they call 'Timex.'

He tends to stare down opponents when they play pots against him, and whether he knows it or not, the Canadian does it with a steely-eyed scowl that might make the meek muck.

He defended his big blind against a Przemyslaw Piotrowski open to 13,000 moments ago, and after checking the flop, fixed his eyes squarely on Piotrowski. Piotrowski bet 16,000, and after staring him down a little while longer, McDonald made the call.

The turn brought the , another check and a firm stare down from McDonald. Piotrowski checked as well. The river came the and this time McDonald led for 21,000, once again glancing over at Piotrowski with intensity.

Piotrowski gulped, called and reluctantly showed the . McDonald had just the and dipped below his peak stack at the end of the last level.

Piotrowski appeared to breath a sigh of relief, having faced the McDonald stare down and stood strong this time.

Nível 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to online pro Christoph "Tight-Man1" Vogelsang on the button and he moved his short stack in. The small blind got out of the way, but Slaven Popov defended from the big.

Popov:
Vogelsang:

Vogelsang was behind, but was drawing to two live cards. Unfortunately, he became an even bigger underdog when the flop paired Popov's ace. The turn left Vogelsang drawing dead, and he took his leave after the was run out on the river.

Two Hands, and Poof, Dominik Nitsche Disappears

[user153638]

Nível 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche was cruising along, but two hands — one of which was extremely unlucky — saw him bounced from the tournament.

In the first, Italy's Gianluca Escobar moved all for 89,000 from middle position and Nitsche isolated by three-betting all in from the small blind.

Nitsche:
Escobar:

Nitsche was a heavy favorite, but Escobar got lucky to catch a ten on the flop. Neither the turn nor river helped Nitsche, and he was left with 37,000 after the hand.

Not long after, Nitsche raised to 27,000 under the gun, leaving himself just 5,000 back. Andreas Chalkiadakis called from the hijack, and then Escobar put in a three-bet. Nitsche called off and Chalkiadakis folded.

Nitsche:
Escobar:

This time it was Nitsche who was dominated, but he would not get lucky against Escobar, who held after the board ran out . Nitsche exited in 58th place for €10,580.
