Petersen Four-Bet Shove Goes Uncalled

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Mickey Petersen has just added 125,000 chips to his stack after his four-bet went uncalled.

Team PokerStars Pro Pierre Neuville opened to 29,000 from early position and the action folded to Lauri Varonen in the cutoff and the aggressive Finn three-bet to 84,000. The small blind got out of the way but Petersen four-bet shoved for 390,000.

Neuville quickly got out of the way but Varonen pondered a call for a few moments before.......folding.

Million Dollar Man

Aage Floenes Ravn got those lost chips and more back after he doubled up through Germasimos Deres.

Deres opened to 26,000 from under the gun and called when Ravn three-bet to 60,000 from the hijack. The flop came {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Deres check-raised all-in after Ravn c-bet for 100,000. Ravn snap called for 457,000 with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Deres opened the drawing {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and missed through the {6-Spades}{3-Spades} turn and river.

Deres Forces Rasmussen Off His Hand

Gerasimos Deres raised to 25,000 in the cut-off and Jacob Rasmussen called in the big blind.The flop contained the same amount as hearts as an octopus {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} and both players checked. On the turn we saw the {4-Spades} and Rasmussen check-called a 32,000 Deres bet. On the river we had the {4-Diamonds} and Rasmussen was desperate to get to showdown with his third check. Deres moved all-in for around 135,000 and Rasmussen had a very tough decision on his hands. He finally decided to fold, and as Deres was gathering up his chips, Rasmussen asked Deres, "when one of us is done can you tell me what you had?"

"Maybe," said Deres in his best Arnie accent.

O'Dwyer is Looking Strong

The experienced Steve O'Dwyer is looking very comfortable out there today. So comfortable he has even brought his own slippers. Jacob Rasmussen raised to 25,000, in early position, and O'Dwyer called in the big blind. Both players checked the {A-Hearts} {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop before the {10-Diamonds} finally saw the commencement of post flop betting action. O'Dwyer bet 33,000 and Rasmussen made the call, before the final card showed up. It was the {8-Spades} and O'Dwyer bet 77,000 and this time Rasmussen folded.

Alexander Manson Eliminated in 14th Place (90,000 DKK)

PokerStars Qualifier Alexander Manson was next to go after he three-bet all-in for 203,000 from the small blind. Jacob Rasmussen opened from the cut-off and called the shove to set to the showdown.

Manson: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Rasmussen: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Manson and his rail of supporters asked for a jack but it, or a queen, failed to appear on the {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades} board.

The man who sounds like Arnie is out
The man who sounds like Arnie is out

Gerasimos Deres raised to 26,000 from first position and Steve O'Dwyer looked interested one seat to his left before eventually folding. Aage Ravn three-bet to 60,000 in the cutoff and Deres called off a stack of 205,000.

Flop: {9-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs}

Deres open shoved and Ravn was there waiting for him with open arms.

Ravn{J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}
Deres{A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

So a huge draw for Deres, but this time the clubs stayed in the caddies bag and Deres was out (Turn - {8-Hearts} and river - {2-Diamonds}).

Neuville Four-bets Varonen

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Pierre Neuville
Pierre Neuville

Pierre Neuville has more than 1,200,000 chips and he is using them to good effect. Just now he opened the betting to 29,000 from late position and found some resistance in the shape of Lauri Varonen who three-bet him to 83,000, as he had done on a number of occasions. Instead this time Neuville four-bet to 228,000 and after a little Hollywooding Varonen let his hand go.
