Levi Breaks Sarwer
Levi opened with a raise, and then called a reraise from Sarwer in the small blind. The flop came king-rag-rag ("I do not remember what the other cards were because as soon as I saw the king I knew I was going to shove. They might as well not have been there.") and they both checked.
The turn was also a blank (see above) and Sarwer bet out 17,000. Levi called. Come the blank river (again), Sarwer shoved, and Levi called. Levi neglected to tell us what he actually had, but his hand contained a minimum of one king and it was enough to beat Sarwer's
.Levi doubled to 145,000.
Down to shrapnel, Sarwer moved in with
under the gun not long after and got called by the big blind holding 
. No outdraws, and he is a dino-Sarwer - extinct.
Woohoo for Juha
He check-called 12,000 from Juha Lauttamus on the
flop, and then check-called another 26,100 on the 
turn. Cao checked a third time on the 
river - but after a long dwell, folded to Lauttamus' push for 94,500 on the river."Show the pocket ten! One time!" said Cao.
"I can tell you in the end of the day," replied Lauttamus jovially."
"But don't lie to me, or don't tell me," warned Cao. Lauttamus assured Cao that he would tell the truth, and they play on.
Cao: 180,000
Lauttamus: 200,000
Suharto Doing More Work
board. Pagano led out with 12,000, and Suharto flat-called.The turn brought the
and a check from Pagano. Suharto paused for a moment before sliding out a small bet of 16,000. Small bet or not, it was good enough to win him the pot as Pagano returned his cards to the dealer.Suharto has new chips and he's not afraid to use them. Mark him up to 130,000 on your score sheets.
Suharto Drinking Double
. Bastian Trachte put out 7,600 chips, and Darus Suharto made it 15,800 total. Trachte announced another raise, but we couldn't hear the amount as he clumsily reached for chips. Before he was able to get the chips out across the line, Suharto's stack of 51,700 was in the middle. Trachte gave up trying to fiddle and just announced a call. Cards on their backs, gents:Trachte:
Suharto:
Suharto was in fine shape to double, needing to fade just two outs to survive. When the turn and river brick-bricked (
and ), he did just that. He's now up to about 110,000 and all smiles.

French Pacifism
In their latest min-skirmish, ElkY opened with a raise to 4,500 under the gun. The table folded around to Mattern, and he flicked in the call from the big blind. The two check-checked on a flop of
. When the paired the board on the turn, Mattern check-folded to a bet of 5,500. ElkY flashed his two cards, but too quick for us to see them. It looked like paint-paint, possibly pocket queens or queen-jack. Either way, Mattern smirked and knocked the table as the two bantered away in their native language.
Abidi to Bed
