Williams Rollercoaster Ride
![[user252447]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
David Williams, a UK PokerStars qualifier, seemed to be a bit upset about the manner in which the dealer had made some change from his stack, a little distracted even. He had a stack of around 15k. So began his rollercoaster next few hands. He was in the big blind and faced a bet of 3,200 from Bruno"Kool Shen" Lopes. Williams made the call and they saw a flop of 
. William’s checked and when Lopes bet 5,000, Williams check-raised all in. Lopes snapped him off with 
against the 
of Williams who was drawing thin. The turn was the 
and the river 
. Williams was left with 600. And a chair.
Williams was automatically all in on the next hand in the small blind, and with two other players pushing the action preflop it looked like he was doomed. A flop of 
and a bet from Lopes forcing the other player out meant the cards were turned up. Lopes had 
and Williams had . No matter; the turn and river
soon sorted that out. Williams was still in with 2,500.
Williams shoved the next hand with 
got two callers and won again. Good God, what a story. He could go on to win this whole event. Next hand he grabs his stack, yellows T1000s in the left, black T100s in the right. Over the line they go, but no, the dealer rules it’s a string bet and only the yellows will count.
Anders Pedersen saved the day with a raise though, and all the chips did go in. Pedersen had raised with 
and was racing against the 
of Williams. Could he do it again? The board ran out 
. The last card counterfeiting Williams pair and robbing him of another double up.
What a few minutes in his tournament. He took it in good spirits saying it was nice playing with the table and wishing them luck.

Nitsche put to the Sword by Dartagnan
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Our thanks to JP Kelly for telling us how Dominik Nitsche busted, the two were sat side by side so Kelly had a front row seat. "He raised with ace-king and seat five (Christophe Dartagnan) called. The flop was K-J-7, Dominik bet, Dartagnan raised and Dominik went with it. Nitsche had A-K and Dartagnan had jacks," he said. "Dominik only had about 25 big blinds to start the hand," he added.
So that all means that Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov is the only player who can complete the Triple Crown here in Deauville.

Berende Loses a Big One
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The cutoff opened to 3,500 with a 45,000 stack and Marco Della Tommasina made it 10,000 to go from the button with a 60,000 stack. The big blind had just one big blind left so he wasn't a big threat to Paul Berende who was seated in the small blind with 
and a stack big enough to cover everyone.
Berende decided to push all in, effectively putting everyone else at risk but himself. The big blind had no other choice and called, the cutoff folded. Della Tommasina on the button however made the call with kings and won the entire thing.
Berende didn't seem all that happy with his play in the hand. Luckily for him he still has around 75,000 left.

Bruno"Kool Shen" Lopes opened for 3,200 and the blinds, including small blind Jack Melki called. They saw a flop of 
and all three players checked. The turn card was the 
and Melki bet out 5,000. The big blind folded and Melki started giving Lopes the death stare. Maybe he didn’t notice because he called the bet. The River was the

to win the pot as Lopes couldn’t beat it. Order was swiftly restored.
