Jachtmann Finishes Off Josephy

[user38873]

Nível 8 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Cliff Josephy had tangled in a big pot earlier on and it was a cruel final chapter that the German ended up being the one to take the remainder of Josephy's stack.

Josephy raised the pot and Jachtmann three-bet to 15,000 out of the blinds. Josephy moved all in for around 65,000 and Jachtmann quickly called.

Cliff Josephy:
Jan-Peter Jachtmann:

The flop gave Jachtmann two pair, and the turn and river gave Jachtmann a full house to send Josephy packing.

Only a few moments later, Ashly Butler was also spotted on his way out.

Romanello Rivers Saliba

[user38873]

Nível 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

In the last hand before the break, a three-way pot to the turn saw Vivian Saliba all in and at risk with a short stack. Both Roberto Romanello and a third player called and checked the river.

Saliba showed for a set of fives while Romanello's for two pair on the turn improved to a straight. The third player briefly showed his cards, but Romanello ended up as the winner. According to the Welshman, he had previously bluffed away a big portion of his stack before he took most of Saliba's stack prior to the all in showdown.
