Germany's Manig Loeser opened to 1,600 from middle position and he found resistance in the shape of two callers. The first caller was Chadi Ojeil in the cutoff, followed by Artur Voskanyan in the big blind.
The trio shared a flop reading , Voskanyan checked, Loeser tried his luck with a continuation bet of 3,200 and only Ojeil made the call.
The on the turn put trips on the board and a possible full house out there. Loeser tapped the table and checked but Ojeil bet 5,200 into his sole opponent. Loeser did not spend very long dwelling on his options — 15 seconds at the most — before deciding to fold.
When you find yourself down to a few big blinds it is sometimes a case of "any two will do, " so imagine the delight Victor Olarav felt when the action folded to him on the button and he looked down at .

This was exactly what happened when the landed on the turn; check, check. The on the river saw some betting action though because Bohuslav fired a 2,100 bet at Rettenmaier and after a few moments deliberation the German made the call.
Manig Loeser fired out a bet of 2,500 on a flop of , Yilmaz Oguz responded by making it 6,150 but Loeser shoved his whole stack in the middle for 33,300. That was enough to take that particular pot.
Majib Kammand has just doubled up through the vocal Stuart Hyson.
Joining the action on a flop, Hyson bet 7,000 only to see Kammand move all-in for just over 12,000 in total.
"I call," said Hyson as he turned onto their backs. Kammand flipped over and although he was not dead in the water, he was a significant underdog in the hand.

"Nice catch there," said Hyson sarcastically, to which Kammand just shrugged his shoulders.
