Lodden Lost the Lot

Johnny Lodden busted just before the break.

The dealer at his table said he only had five or six thousand left when he committed the rest of his stack with queen-six on a six high board. Unfortunately for the Team PokerStars Pro his opponent had pocket jacks.

Tex Doubles

We missed the action on the hand, but we did see the remnants of how Spencer "Tex" Hudson doubled back up to near the starting stack. He held the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and his opponent the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. We're going to assume the money got in preflop, but we're not certain. We can tell you that Hudson flopped a king and from there held up to win the pot.

Ramdin Cruising

Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin is doing extremely well here on Day 1b and he's already up over four times the starting stack. Here's a recent hand with him where he added a nice chunk of chips to his field-leading stack.

Serbian Ivan Todorovic limped in from middle position and action folded to Ramdin in the small blind. He raised to 1,150 and only Todorovic made the call. The flop, turn and river were run out {4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades} with Ramdin betting the entire way. He bet 1,500 on the flop, 2,000 on the turn and 3,000 on the river. Todorovic called all three streets post flop. At the showdown, Ramdin tabled the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} to beat Todorovic's {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and win the pot.

Chop It Up

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Rino Mathis just found himself all-in and at risk of elimination from the EPT Berlin Main Event but the hand ended in a split pot.

Mathis, who is in the middle of having his head massaged, raised to 775 from late position when the action folded to him. To his immediate left was Roman Romanovskyi and he three-bet to 2,050 whcih forced out the remaining players but Mathis was going nowhere. He placed his glasses back on and moved all-in for around 15,000 in total and Romanovskyi quickly called.

Mathis: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Romanovskyi: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

A sigh of relief for both players though and unlikely win for either of them was still possible. That possibility was reduced to zero as the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} followed by the {10-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river and the pot is split.

Not Ainsworth's Day

Jude Ainsworth has busted from over in the Spielbank Berlin. He lost a really big pot to the German Julian Herold, and then lost the rest over the course of two hands.

The Team PokerStars Pro opened and four-bet (in position) to 2,600 when Herold three-bet out of the blinds. The German called to see a {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-} flop where he check-called a 3,500 bet from Ainsworth.

The turn came {a-} and Herold check-called a 6,700 bet. The river was the {j-Clubs} and Herold check-called all-in when the Irishman shoved when checked to for a third time. Ainsworth mucked and Herold took the pot with {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the nut flush.

A while after he dropped down to 5,200 after losing a pot to Christophe De Meulder in a battle of the blinds. Those 5,200 didn't last long after that.
