Rui Cao and Ole Schemion tangled over a big pot. On the turn of a board reading Cao bet 40,000 and Schemion made the call. The river card was the and when Cao checked Schemion went for a bet of around 100,000. Cao instantly called.
“Ten.” said Schemion and showed but he sighed as he saw the of Cao.
“Almost checked.” Schemion said as his chips slid across to Cao leaving him on fumes.
Action folded to JC Alvarado in the small blind and he moved all in for 110,000 or so. World Series of Poker bracelet winner Pascal Lefrancois was in the big and decided to make the call.
Lefrancois:
Alvarado:
Both players shared a queen, which meant the king kicker of Lefrancois had him well out in front. The flop paired their queens, but again it was the kicker that was making all the difference. Neither the turn nor river helped Alvarado, and he was out in 27th place.
Action folded to Benjamin Pollak in the small blind and he moved all in. Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen, who barely had less than Pollak, hit the tank in the big blind and debated what to do. Eventually the clock was called, and that inspired Guillen to call off his paltry stack.
Guillen:
Pollak:
Guillen was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. Unfortunately for the Team Pro, he would receive no help as the board ran out .
Guillen will take home €51,400 for his 26th-place finish.
Ole Schemion has just been eliminated from the €25,000 High Roller.
Scott Seiver raised under the gun to 22,000 and Schemion shoved all in for 163,000. All other players folded, including big blind Philipp Gruissem who thought about it for some time. Seiver however made the call.
Ole Schemion:
Scott Seiver:
The flop was a blow for Schemion who now needed to look for a seven on the turn or river. The on the turn wasn't a card he was looking for, and neither was the on the river.
