They Are Both Blind But Wiese Finds His Way Out of The Dark

[user169505]

Two of the shorter stacks just clashed in the blinds and Andreas Wiese came out on top in this interesting encounter.

Matthias Lotze opened from the Small Blind to 150,000. Wiese, who was in the Big Blind, asked Lotze how much he had behind. Lotze was in the midst of counting when Wise announced "call." The flop was {4-Spades} {j-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and Lotze made a continuation bet of 155,000 and Wiese called. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Lotze slowed down with a tap on the table. Wiese decided to take the initiative and bet 490,000 and as usual at this stage of the tournament for the short stack it was an all or nothing decision for Lotze. Lotze decided to give the hand up and Wiese adds some much needed chips to his short stack.

Wiese Kings

[user46298]

Andreas Wiese threebet Konstantinos Nanos preflop, making it 450k over his initial 150k. The EPT live commentary pointed out that Nanos was opening a very large number of hands and Wiese, with a decent stack now, could be doing this with a variety of hands himself... but he gave everyone a peek at his {K-} {K-} when Nanos passed.

Hruby the Skin of his Teeth

[user46298]

In dire straits now, Martin Hruby found a fold round to him on the small blind, and finally committed his 400k stack preflop with just Nanos behind him. The bigger stack grimaced slightly, but laid his hand down, giving a much-needed big blind to the table short stack.

Hruby Moves All-In and Wiese Loses 155,000

[user169505]

Andreas Wiese raised from the hijack position to 155,00 and the very active Konstantinos Nanos three-bet from the button making it 450,000 to play and Wiese folded. In the next hand Team Pokerstars Pro Martin Hruby pushed all-in for his remaining 475,000 but everyone folded to the Czech star.

Matthias Lotze Finds an Ace on the Turn to Double Up

[user169505]

Michael Eiler just hates the sight of that lonely Ace dropping on the board. Yesterday he set a successful trap for Luca Cainelli when he limped into the blind with pocket queens and Luca Cainelli shoved with {a-} {x-} from the Big Blind. That time Luca hit his Ace to double up through Eiler.

Today it is Matthias Lotze's turn. Eiler opened to 150,000 and Lotze announced he was all-in and Eiler quickly called.

Eiler: {k-Clubs} {k-Hearts}

Lotze: {a-Hearts} {q-Spades}

Flop: {5-Spades} {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} so far so good for Eiler.

Turn: {a-Spades} Lotze takes the lead

River: {j-Clubs} Lotze doubles up.
