Split Pot

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Erik Seidel open shoved from early position and when it folded around to Justin Bonomo, in the small blind, he asked for a count. The dealer confirmed it was 89,000 and Bonomo moved all-in himself. Sergio Castellucci folded in the big blind and we had a showdown.

Bonomo{A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Seidel{A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

The board created no real surprises and the pot was shared.

Sandra Naujoks has busted from the TV table. We're not sure who busted her but she filled a German colleague of ours in on some of the details.

The Team PokerStars Pro opened to 16,000 with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and then four-bet all-in for 134,000 after an opponent three-bet to 46,000.

Her opponent tank-called with {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and the board ran {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Spades}. Cruel river to end season eight for her.

Turning into a Good Trip for Buddiga

This is Pratyush Buddiga's first trip to Europe to play poker. He only intended to play EPT Berlin but after he made the final table there (8th for €72,000) he thought he might as well try his luck here. Good job he did as he's tearing up the chip counts post bubble.

He just eliminated Chanracy Khun in a race to move up to around 700,000 chips. He opened from late position and called when Khun shoved from the small blind.

Khun: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Buddiga: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The board ran {8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades} to make him trips.

(Thanks to Autumn from PokerStars PR for this hand. She's trailing as a field reporter this afternoon.)
