A "Freakin' Outstanding" Turn

Theo Jorgensen
Theo Jorgensen

Theo Jorgensen raised to 28,000 from under the gun, Matt Salsberg called out of the small blind, and Philipp Gruissem defended his big blind.

The dealer fanned {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and the action checked to Jorgensen who fired 50,000. Only Gruissem called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Gruissem checked again. Jorgensen slid out 125,000, and Gruissem called.

The {8-Spades} completed the board, and Gruissem checked a third time. Jorgensen emptied the chamber, firing a third bullet worth 275,000, and Gruissem made a quick call.

Jorgensen tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set of tens, and Gruissem screwed up his face before mucking.

"Nice hand," Salsberg offered.

"Nice turn," Jorgensen responded. "The turn was freakin' outstanding."

Mohsin Charania
Mohsin Charania

Mohsin Charania opened to 24,000 from under the gun, and Philipp Gruissem and Timothy Adams called. The flop fell {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Adams checked to Charania who continued for 33,000. Gruissem raised to 90,000, Adams cold-called, and Charania tanked for a bit before raising to 233,000.

Both players folded, and Charania raked in the pot.

Joe Serock - 10th Place

Joe Serock opened to 21,000, Theo Jorgensen three-bet to 50,000 on the button, and Serock moved most of his chips forward.

"I call," Jorgensen announced, thinking Serock was all in.

Serock had 40,000 behind however, and the flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Serock checked, and Jorgensen moved all in. Serock thought for a few seconds, then called with {a-Spades}{3-Spades}. He trailed the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} of Jorgensen, and the turn and river came {9-Hearts}, {q-Spades} respectively, eliminating the Season X Player of the Year.

Quoss and Douieb Battle Again

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jérome Douieb opened to 20,000 from the cutoff, Fabian Quoss three-bet to 55,000 out of the small blind, and Douieb called.

The dealer fanned {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and Quoss checked.

"All in," Douieb announced without hesitation.

To call Quoss would've needed to commit all 250,000 of his chips. He did not call however, and Douieb took down the pot.
