Nitsche Doubles "MrMTucker"

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

888poker Ambassador Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche limped from middle position and got a call from a player in late position. "MrMTucker" raised it to 26,000 from the big blind. Nitsche called and the other limper folded.

"MrMTucker" led out for 24,500 after the {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} came on the flop and got a call. Both players checked after the {6-Hearts} came on the turn.

Nitsche bet more than the 83,000 than his opponent had behind after "MrMTucker" checked and got a call. Nitsche turned over {a-Spades}{q-Spades} and his ace-high was no good with his opponent doubling up with {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Meanwhile, fellow 888poker Ambassador Ana "anamarquez" Marquez had a short stack for a while. Around the same time this hand took place she lost the rest of her chips and hit the rail.

Jacobson Takes Out "BreakFISHt"

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

"BreakFISHt" jammed from under the gun for 122,508. Martin "MJacobson888" Jacobson called from the cutoff and "Alamean" called from the big blind.

Jacobson jammed when the action was checked to him on the {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and got a fold from "Alamean". "BreakFISHt" turned over {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} and needed a little help against the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} held by Jacobson.

Help did not come and "BreakFISHt" was eliminated after the {8-Diamonds} came on the turn followed by the {8-Clubs} on the river.
