Fuller and Hinkelmann Earn Pots in Different Ways

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Romain Nattaf called a bet of 15,500 by Samuel Fuller on the K♥10♦4♠5♣ turn and then checked the J♦ river. Fuller pushed forward two T-25,000 chips for a large bet and Nattaf was visibly upset.

"Did you really have ace-queen?" he sighed and even exposed three of his four cards, the A♦K♦10♥. The dealer was about to muck them but Nattaf insisted he had not folded yet, only did so verbally a few seconds later.

Fuller offered to reveal his cards and pushed them towards Nattaf, who glanced at them. "Only king-queen? Oh wait, you have a straight," he said without revealing the cards to the rest of the table.

Heiko Hinkelmann also won a pot, though, his came in a showdown. Three ways to the 10♣8♦5♣A♦Q♠ river, Dmitrij Fadeev checked in the small blind and Hinkelmann bet 7,500 in the big blind. Vasil Medarov called on the button and Fadeev folded.

The K♦J♦6♥2♥ of Hinkelmann were the nuts and he added more chips to a growing tower.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Romain Nattaf and Oswin Ziegelbecker checked the J♦10♥5♦8♥ turn and the K♥ river completed the board. Ziegelbecker bet 10,000 from under the gun and Nattaf instantly folded, exposing the A♦J♣4♦ only.

Nattaf continued to slide but knocked out Han Kuo shortly after to earn back some chips.

Plum Eliminated by Skoulos

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andre Hoeveken limped in and so did Alexi Skoulos from one seat over on the button. Mikkel Plum then three-bet the pot to 12,500 in the small blind. As Hoeveken eyeballed his stack, Plum mentioned he had around 55,000, which saw Hoeveken fold and Skoulos call.

Plum bet the 10♣4♣4♠ flop for 10,000 to pick up a call and jammed the 3♣ turn. Skoulos snap-called with the Q♠10♠10♣8♠ and Plum's A♣Q♣10♦6♣ was drawing dead already as a J♥ river completed the board.

Piero Alioto bet the A♦K♣3♦2♠J♥ river for20,500 only to then fold to the shove of Matthew Macioce.

The same action repeated one table over when Marek Blasko bet 5,000 on a 9♠8♦8♥5♥J♥ river. Fahredin Mustafov piled his chips in and grinned "come on, I just busted close to the bubble in the €10,000 Event".
