Clash of the Titans

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Action folded around to Jasper Wetemans in the small blind and he opened. His neighbor, big blind Steven van Zadelhoff, three-bet to 3,000 and Wetemans called.

Wetemans checked the {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop and Van Zadelhoff bet 2,000. Wetemans called.

Both checked the {7-Clubs} on the turn before Wetemans bet 5,200 on the {8-Spades} river. Van Zadelhoff laid it down and Wetemans started stacking.

[€25,000 Super High Roller] Govert Metaal Hits the Rail

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

Ole Schemion raised to 5,400 and Govert Metaal pushed all in for 36,200. Schemion called to put the sole Dutchman at risk.

Ole Schemion: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Govert Metaal: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out an uneventful {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Metaal headed for the exit. Down to four players right now, three get in the money so it's bubble time.
