on the turn with the board reading {10-Clubs}

. Robert's made a quick call with {Q-Clubs}

. The board bricked the {5-Diamonds}

to advance Roberts.

Dani Stern into Round Three

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We just caught up with Dani Stern who played a rather quick match against Sandra Retallick.

Stern won 2-0. He said in the first rubber of the match he raised the button with {k-?}

and Retallick flat called. The flop came {K-?}

and Retallick check-raised all in with {A-?}

. The board bricked to take Stern into a 1-0 lead.

The second rubber Retallick ran {A-?}

into Stern's {8-?}

preflop and wasn't able to catch up.

Amazingly Sandra Retallick has completed two matches in the time it has taken Gary Retallick to finish one rubber against Michael Watson.
