Loeser Gets There on the River to Bust Ramos

Nível 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Manig Loeser opened to 10,000 in the cutoff and Aliaksei Boika called on the button. Felipe Ramos then three-bet to 65,000 in the small blind and Loeser four-bet to 120,000.

Boika got out of the way, but Ramos pushed all in for around 190,000 and Loeser quickly called.

Felipe Ramos: J♦J♠
Manig Loeser: 9♥9♠

Ramos was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 10♦K♦3♠. The turn was the Q♣ and Ramos was one card away from securing a double up.

The J♣ river, though, gave him a set but Loeser a straight. Ramos took the bad beat well and gave Loeser a fist bump before making his exit.

Commotion After Commotion

Nível 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

It all started very calmly when Andrej Desset raised to 10,000 from the cutoff. Jens Lakemeier, who fired his first bullet at the last possible moment, sat in the big blind and made a three-bet to 50,000.

Some speech play then occurred, after which Lakemeier stated to Desset: "You already told me you are weak, you are just wasting time by not folding".

Some more words were exchanged between the two until eventually the clock was called. The floorman came over and gave Desset a countdown. Desset folded, but showed a player his cards so he was forced to table his A♠J♦.

Another player then claimed that he saw Lakemeier's cards when he picked them up, and the floorman also forced Lakemeier to show his hand according to the "show one, show all" rule.

Lakemeier was not happy with this decision, saying "I'm not showing this f***ing hand, you (to Desset) are forcing me to do this by acting like a f***ing idiot, so I'm not showing".

After some stern words by the floorman, the cussing subsided. The player who saw Lakemeier's cards eventually claimed it was ace-queen he saw. The floorman took a peek at the cards to confirm, and indeed tabled AxQx shortly thereafter.

Despite the shouting, no penalties were given out and play resumed as normal the next hand, although with some of Desset's chips in Lakemeier's stack.

Miądzel Scores a Double

[user38873]

Nível 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The cards of Nikolay Ponomarev were already in the muck and he paid off a double to table neighbour Stanisław Miądzel, who still had his 3♥3♠ exposed. That was good enough for a set of treys on the A♦6♦3♦8♥Q♣ board and Miadzel leaped above the average near the end of the penultimate level on Day 2.

They checked the K♦8♣6♥ flop before Tsai then bet the K♥ turn for 18,000 as well as the J♥ river for 43,000. Hallay called both times and mucked when Tsai tabled the J♦8♥.

Cintula Shows Spataru the Goods

Nível 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andrej Cintula raised to 18,000 on the button before Andrei Spataru three-bet to 42,000 in the small blind.

Cintula called and they went heads-up to the 2♣J♣2♠ flop. Spataru continued for 25,000 and Cintula called.

The turn came the 2♥ and Spataru bet another 45,000. Cintula took his time but called again to see the J♠ river.

Spataru slowed down and checked as Cintula fired out 86,000. Spataru quickly mucked.

"Did you have the jack," tablemate Ramzi Zuraikat asked Cintula as Cintula flashed a smile before showing the 2♦ for quads.

"That jack saved me," Spataru said, breathing a sigh of relief as he leaned back in his seat.

"That's a good loss. First time today quads that I've seen," Zuraikat added.

Pascal Pflock: A♣10♣
Jonas Hagström: 9♣9♦

Niste Chips Up Through Gessis

[user38873]

Nível 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mihai Niste raised from under the gun and picked up two callers including Jean Gessis in the big blind. On the 10♣3♦2♣ flop, all three players checked and Gessis led the 9♦ turn for 16,000. Niste raised to 52,000 and Gessis was the only caller to then check the 5♠ river.

Niste made it 155,000 to go for more than the size of the pot, forcing a reluctant fold from Gessis.

Sturm Causes Cooler

Nível 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dimtrijs Prohorovs raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and both blinds Matas Cimbolas and Leon Sturm called. The flop of Q♣4♥Q♥ was then checked to Prohorovs, who continued with another 10,000 bet. Cimbolas folded but Sturm had other plans and put in a raise to 32,000.

Prohorovs called and the 9♦ turn was dealt. Sturm kept up the aggression with a bet of 65,000, and once more Prohorovs made the call.

On the 6♠ river, Sturm went for a sizing of 160,000. Prohorovs thought about it for a little while before deciding he could not fold. He called and saw the bad news when Sturm tabled K♣Q♦ for trip queens. Prohorovs showed his Q♠ before cutting out the call from his stack.

By winning this pot Sturm passed the one million-chip mark.
