Sandra No Chips

Sandra Naujoks
Sandra Naujoks

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.

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.

Dietrich and Grangure Share One

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Dietrich raised to 22,000 and Tudor Grangure defended his big blind. Both players checked the flop of {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} and then they shared the {4-Hearts} on the turn. Grangure check-called a 22,000 Dietrich bet and then finally we saw the {3-Clubs} where both players checked.

When the cards were turned over the blinds and ante's were split evenly because both players held pocket fives.
