The Action's Alive On Table Five

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

At the back end of the room, on table five,the players are happily tossing chips into the pot and taking each other on.

Maximilian Heinzelmann, who has been receiving a massage for the past 15 minutes, bet 1,100 on the {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades} when [Removed:213] checked to him from under the gun. The dealer put out the {8-Spades} on the turn, prompting another check from Gouriten, a bet of 2,500 from Heinzelmann and a call from Gouriten.

The river saw the {10-Spades} come into play and again Gouriten checked but instead of betting his opponent checked behind, much to the disappointment of the Frenchman who tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set, much better than the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} shown by Heinzelmann.

The very next hand Team PokerStars Pro John Duthie raised to 250 from late position and both Riekus Hein Wijermars in the small blind and Gouriten in the big blind called.

All three players checked around when the flop fell {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} but the arrival of the {7-Diamonds} on the turn saw another check from Wijermars, a 500 bet from Gouriten, a call from Duthie and after a long pause, a call from Wikermars.

The river was the {4-Clubs} was checked by the players in the blinds and Duthie took a stab at the pot with a bet of 1,600, which was called, albeit after more than a minute of thinking time, by Wijermars. When Gouriten folded, Wijermans revealed {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, which was enough to see Duthie's hand hit the muck
